Post Your GNU/Linux Desktop here

Nope just the OS X icons. Otherwise Just made a few changes to the placement of the panels. The one in OS X looks good. I don't want it to look fully like Mac, just the parts that I like. I would certainly like to keep that Ubuntu logo on the top panel.

Many of these screenshots are quite good. I wish I could post something, but I don't have anything to take a screenshot of.

Means?? In linux just press "printscreen" button!

 

[Sykora]

Yes, I know how to take a screenshot. It's just that my window manager is meant for extreme usability, and almost no eye candy. I tried moving back to KDE but couldn't. i just couldn't get any work done

 

[eddie]

We would still like to see that window manager setup. Post your screenshot with details and lets see what it is that you couldn't do with KDE

 

[Sykora]

Well, here you go. There's nothing much to see though.

Guyz, can I run XGL on a live Ununtu 6.06 CD???? I have 512MB ram and a 6200....If yes, how do I go about it?

 

[mehulved]

I don't think Ubuntu 6.06 has XGL right into the live cd.

Which WM is that? I can't see any signs from which I can recognise anything.

 

[Sykora]

You're not supposed to :0

It's Ratpoison : *www.nongnu.org/ratpoison/

 

[JGuru]

@Sykora, If you want a lightweight WM. Then you can use XFCE
It's fast, light on resources , also it looks cool.

Here's mine. Not too flashy nor properly done.

what is in bottom of screen??
the diffrent shortcut's icons, some sort of wiget!
i want that look cool

 

[mehulved]

No it's just the GNOME panel. I have increased it's height and made it transparent. But, it doesn't have any Mac like effects. That would take more resources.

No I won't agree to it. XFCE is not so light weight AFAIK. From what I see ratpoison should be really light as it has no eye candy and resource hog processes.
XFCE is good WM for newbies but for those who have been using linux for longer, lot more options exist.

 

[Sykora]

@JGuru : I've tried XFCE. Believe me, there are many other lighter wms, and in my opinion, ratpoison is the ultimate in speed and access. It just has a very steep learning curve. It's also sscriptable, so you can do your own stuff with it. For Ubuntu/Debian users, there is also a neat feature called ratmenu. Initially I thought I'd really need it, what with the absence of menus, but as I got used to ratpoison, I don't need anything else.

 

[eddie]

Is there some particular reason behind you using ratpoison?
Are you very low on resources? What is that you want out of ratpoison that cannot be achieved with KDE or is it just the geek factor?

 

[mediator]

^^ He(@sykora) said he tried moving back to KDE, but cudn't!

 

[eddie]

I did read what he said
I am just asking why he couldn't get any work done...
