^^^ thats a nice desktop praveen u can use nuveoXT theme for more vistaish icons.

@shashwat

to move those application control buttons over to the left, like on the Mac start the gconf editor, by running gconf-editor from a terminal window or alt+f2 run window. goto apps>metacity, then click on general. in the RHS you'll see a list of settings. click on the button_layout entry, then on the value field next to it. default setting is:
menu:minimize,maximize,close

to switch the window controls to the left, move the menu to the end, like this:
close,minimize,maximize:menu

the ":" is to separate the left from the right buttons.

How to put a trash icon on desky I mean whats the command for it

 

[infra_red_dude]

if u are using ubuntu then you need to do that in gconf editor. but i suggest you download gtweakui-nautilus package. which is a gui frontend to many nautilus gconf options. u can enable trash on the desktop from there.

hey their is no need to change the icon by tat method, when i closed avant, restarted and again opened avant. I found icon changed this time.

 

[infra_red_dude]

ok then the icon theme must be hafing those symbolic links by default. not many haf it. so i'd posted a sureshot method to get them

if u are using ubuntu then you need to do that in gconf editor. but i suggest you download gtweakui-nautilus package. which is a gui frontend to many nautilus gconf options. u can enable trash on the desktop from there.

go to

System Tools > Configuration Editor

apps > nautilus > desktop

check the value field for 'trash_icon_visible'

you should see the trash icon on the desktop.
if you don't install that package.

[infra_red_dude]

thats a great desky, shashwat! welcome to the composite manager league!

btw, what gfx do u use? or is it onboard? coz if u use a mid range one i'd suggest u install compiz-fusion. devel of beryl has stopped. but it runs better on older hardware. hey can u upload the computer icon here (one 1 png)??
