You can make Xfce and Gnome and other non-KDE desktops look pretty spiffy. It just takes a bit of effort and imagination. Here's my current Slack 13-64 w/ Xfce:slackxfceshot02.th.png...and the matching theme:slackxfcethemeshot01.th.png

Cool, but a little busy for my tastes. What's that weird thing in the upper right hand corner? Ahh... that stupid KDE4 thingie. :w00t:

Cool looking wallpaper but I do not think I could look at it for more than 30 seconds without getting a headache. I am starting to freak out by staring at it now. Reminds me of Hypnotoad:hypnotoad.gif(Futurama reference for those who dont know)Thanks

OK you're right it drove me crazy after a day. Was cool to have a 1971 intel chip mask there though.Here's my new one, a Leonid meteor from a lake in California. Thanks to Astronomy Picture of the Day ysterday.deskleonid.th.png

I submitted one but I do not think I stand a chance compared to the ones here every month: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=83682 There are some really amazing screenshots of which I get alot of my ideals/configurations hints from. Also, there will only be 5 winners so I think I will get better odds by just buying the calendar for $12.95.Thanks

Cybormoron: Looks goodAs far as the winners, I was not very impressed. A couple were somewhat impressive but not even closs to the artwork I have seen in the monthly threads at: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewforum.php?id=47 I know, I know, I frequently suggest Arch-related sites but I have to say there are some unbelievable desktop shots there. Either one of these could of easily beat the winners:http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2489136/screenie-14.10.09-2.png For the kids out there, WARNING the song title in the screenshot has a curse word...... :thumbsup: http://www.imagebam.com/image/fcf0cb57296250/Just my opinion.Thanks

I didn't post mine on the Flikr site directly. I just emailed it to them and they posted it. There are some good-looking screenshots on the Flikr site. That's for sure. I didn't really expect to win. I just figured someone would get a laugh out of that wallpaper. I always giggle when I look at it. :thumbsup:

Definitely a nice wallpaper Eric. You got a link to the original wallpaper? I might use it on one of my machine or at least add it to my wallpaper collection.Thanks

Here ya' go...http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/6501/winmaclinuxgnu.jpgYou'll probably have to resize/modify for your system. Since it's got that white background, rather than scale it and distort it, you can just pasted the entire 1440x900 wallpaper onto a white background of the proper size that you make using GIMP or whatever.Have fun! :sweatingbullets:

Yeah, I've reverted to my minimal desktop days. No more SuperKaramba screenlets or gkrellm stuff these days. :thumbsup:
I like the minimalistic approach, of course you already know that.Thanks
