Ok, so I couldn't help but check out what xearth is capable of...so I have here a screenshot for you to see:

Nothing terribly special (and I feel bad for copying gary4gar...heh), so I decided to spice it up a bit...I wrote a script to plot the machines I'm connected to in XEarth...check out the conky connection display and the XEarth locations...

Don't worry from my side, all my post are licensed under GPL
and you should licensed it under GPL & share your conky config file with us:p

Suggestion
: can we change they ip into readable names of places??
i am n00b so don't it is possible not

Well, I've considered releasing the script (perhaps as a download at conky.sourceforge.net? I don't know), and as always I'd release under the GPL...so if anyone is interested, I'll post the script.

Namelookups are a possibility. I hadn't considered it because the names are typically longer than the ip addresses, and when you get a lot of connections going it can get pretty messy on XEarth. Perhaps I'll make the display of hostname or ip a user-configurable setting? I modified the script last night to cache lookups locally so the script wouldn't have to constantly perform geoip lookups, so perhaps I can do the same with hostname resolution.

At this point, the script is still very bare and alpha, but it works and I'm happy to see that people are taking interest in it. Again, any ideas are certainly welcome and I plan on continuing development on it for some time...who knows what all the code will allow for?

Here's my latest arrangement:

[URL=*www.putfile.com/pic.php?img=6260191]*img2.putfile.com/thumb/8/22021143681.jpg[/URL]

Still using xearth and my Python script to plot the locations of machines I'm connected to.

Also, I'm looking for a site to upload the script tarball to...I tried putfile, but it's down for maintenance right now. Any suggestions?

^^^ working on it...

I'm also doing a 0.2 release soon to utilize the free database files from maxmind.com, as a friend of mine tried this out before release and realized that the geoip service I'm using isn't terribly accurate.

0.2 should be available soon, and when it is I'll be sure to post a link.

The Vista thing is KDE. I used Beryl with one of the Vista emerald themes and a Vista KDE theme for the panel that I found at kde-look.org. The firefox ie7 theme is from mozilla.

Overall it's off a bit here and there, but pretty nice.

Agreed...very nice...

I'm not terribly familiar with Mac from a UI standpoint (I've studied a bit on the inner workings mostly because of my interest in FreeBSD), but it really looks nice!

Updated to XPlanet...though it seems to be a bit more resource-intensive. I'm still working on getting the code hosted somewhere...

Edit - I'm also working on writing up a full howto for KDE, Gnome, and Fluxbox (and perhaps XFCE)

^^^ whoa! thats a great desktop rocket! :)

ps: i found out that i'm not able to get the top gnome bar to be completely translucent coz of the theme. this setting (the ubuntu menu and tray not being transperent/lucent) has been put into the gtk theme settings file. i'm trying to compare the gtkrc to other themes. lets see if i can trace it. any help wud be appreciated
