Re: October 2005 Arch Screenshots

Stop with the thousand guesses everyone. There is no image editor in use within this picture. Look at it again and closer.

OMG. You're right. Now I feel stupid, stupid, stupid. Grrrrrrrr Theoden! GRRR!

latest fxdesktop

I was just wondering how it would be. It looks like the guy who created fxdesktop was inspired by M$98, as it looks quite windowish to me ??? or is it customizable?

very early days yet so don't really know what direction its gonna take, the previuos release did not support background changes, but now you set images and colours ...  (at the same time)

you adjust the look, not sure about rearranging the location of the task bar yet.. still learning .

go on install it have a play......

Re: October 2005 Arch Screenshots

I friend of mine told me that it was too much white, but anyway.

It's inspired from Panbox from fluxmod.

Re: October 2005 Arch Screenshots

forget movies, NO screenie is complete without a scummvm shot

coudl someone tell me some good themes tho please

the Themes & Screenshots part of the forum is your best bet, there also xfce-look but not all things posted no the forum are posted there.
some of the better ones Pixeln Elegance, evolve, System82, ob opusos, Unity, XPMC and slim

That taskbar quite frankly leaves me lost for words !

The two best places I found for xfce themes are:

http://www.xfce-look.org

http://forum.xfce.org/

[edit]
seeing as I was dissing dtw's outrageous taskbar I thought I would add my own shot for possible scorn.

Re: October 2005 Arch Screenshots

i like ana for the theme and pretty much anything for window decoration(i'm using the included waza) myself. in gnome i use ana flat out, at high resolution the side border width doesn't bug me.

Hey, that's a BIG tray icon! 
I think that you can't just disable the tray icon right now as there is no such option yet, so you could just remove the systray. Hmmm... 

btw, here is my desktop:

It's xfce allright, albeit the development version.
Problem is that bmpx just doesn't like xfwm4, and I am using metacity from gnome 2.12 atm, and I really hate it

Re: October 2005 Arch Screenshots

The first one (exec startxfce4) should work, did you relogin or source /etc/profile before running startx?

Re: October 2005 Arch Screenshots

I believe make that either "exec xfce4" in your xinitric file or just "startxfce4" at the CLI if I'm reading your post right. Good Luck!
