teacher Posted April 10, 2005 Posted April 10, 2005 NilsonThat is probably just the screen shot that does that. They don't have the same resolution as the actual picture. Quote
nilson Posted April 10, 2005 Author Posted April 10, 2005 I meant http://img15.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img15&image=snapshot23hq.pngThat background image is small and looks best when centered. I have the same image. Don't scale it up. Quote

Neil P Posted April 17, 2005 Posted April 17, 2005 hmmmm yeah i also lost xmms i but i got some bmp thingy<{POST_SNAPBACK}> BMP is great--it's just like XMMS, but it's gtk2, so you can't go wrong (right?) Quote
Jeber Posted April 17, 2005 Posted April 17, 2005 I must say I'm totally impressed with Mandrake 10.2. I decided to celebrate the new distro by deviating from my usual sedate desktop and go for a bit of color. Thank goodness Ayo at www.73lab.com posted one that fit my interests perfectly, color and canines. Here's the result. Quote
steel Posted April 17, 2005 Posted April 17, 2005 BMP is great--it's just like XMMS, but it's gtk2, so you can't go wrong (right?) thats true Neil i was just suprised when that replace xmms , so far i did notice something i cant do in normal xmms and that is to save live stream ... i cant see that option on there, and i went through all the settings perhaps i missed it ... will check it out again later on today ..

steel Posted April 17, 2005 Posted April 17, 2005 Hi Steel . . . . keep us posted on the Beep Media Player it seems to take leaps ahead . . . . . About your x-lib error, see this: http://forums.scotsnewsletter.com/index.ph...14&t=503&st=295 hi Brunoi orginally used the link from Greg problem to fix it, but also copied notes of the link that you posted... and far as that wallpaper its nice, goes great with my Sarge and i was wrong about the Beep Media player... but i was looking at it at 2am i am sure at that time of hour i had a hard time finding the keyboard with one eye open but yes Beep lets you can save live streams to hd... and more neat settings on it then xmms ...

steel Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 if i can add something to this ... i guess that Beep is not new but new to me and its avaliable to debian or debian based ... $ apt-cache search beepbeep-media-player - Versatile audio player that supports Winamp skinsbeep-media-player-dev - Beep Media Player development static library and header filesbeep-media-player-scrobbler - Beep plugin to send track information to audioscrobblergxmms - Simple GNOME applet to control the basic functions of XMMS or bmpif you needed more info you can do $ apt-cache show beep-media-player and will give you more info about the varies thingshavent checked if its in mandrake or pclos yet but i also installed on Sarge and its really nice Quote
teacher Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 I love this thread. I was looking at it at a friend's house while on the road this weekend. They looked at the shots I was viewing and indicated they wanted to know how they could get theirs to look like this. Of course this followed with a discussion of operating systems and how they too could have a cool desktop! Then again, one friend said he was using something called fedora and wanted to know if he could do that. I had to tell him that was up to NASA and whether they would let him mess with his desktop. :rolleyes: Quote
misunderstruck Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 Hooray for screenshots!My current laptop setup:In use: Enlightenment DR17 with a number of modules, Gkrellm, Eterm, and Firefox (rolled up). Quote
teacher Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 Great wallpaper. Do you have a shot showing what you are using - the distro and how you have it set up? All I see is wallpaper. That is a great selection. Quote
muckshifter Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 Great wallpaper. Do you have a shot showing what you are using - the distro and how you have it set up? All I see is wallpaper. That is a great selection. Plain-n-simple ... Quote
havnblast Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 woohooo SuperKaramba! I use that one too! Quote
muckshifter Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 woohooo SuperKaramba! I use that one too! Yup, use it for Folding@Home so I can keep an eye on it ... got Gkrellm on DT1 and it has a plug-in too, but I can't get it to work. Quote
ikerekes Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 That shot is nothing special. The only reason I am showing, not too often to see PCLinuxOS fully upgraded running 2.6.14 kernel and using GNOME. Quote
teacher Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 The special part is to see how far he has come and what he has configured for a brand new user as well as seeing personal preferences. Mucks has done great. You do like living dangerously Ivan - Gnome in PClos? What fun. Quote
ikerekes Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 You do like living dangerously Ivan - Gnome in PClos? What fun.Don't like my Gnome? how about the same Preview 4 running KDE 3.5RC1? Quote
Ghost Posted December 8, 2005 Posted December 8, 2005 (edited) First there are some great images in this post! Here is my contribution... E17 on my FreeBSD 6.0. Edited December 8, 2005 by Ghost Quote
misunderstruck Posted December 8, 2005 Posted December 8, 2005 First there are some great images in this post! Here is my contribution... E17 on my FreeBSD 6.0. Nice! I'm using the Carbon-14 theme for E17 too. I like the slow change of the big "e" in the background. Quote
