[Solved]What desktop environment is this?

I saw a link to a cool looking linux DE while surfing the SomethingAwful forum: http://shostakovich.mirror.waffleimages … a80768.jpg

Can you tell me what DE this is?

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Yup its gnome (on ubuntu) with AWN, a load of applets and no panels. AWN and the extras package are both in the community repo.

Although any WM/DE could be made to look like that. It's just a wallpaper and AWN goddamn it!

EDIT: Oops, didn't see the icon there, nevertheless you can have that without gnome too..

Is there a how-to for Arch to install awn or is it really easy? Wait are the icons at the bottom shortcuts, or what's open?

Re: [Solved]What desktop environment is this?

The icons on the bottom are shortcuts (or launchers) but also open windows (past the separator)

Installing awn is pretty easy. Just a "pacman -Sy avant-window-navigator" away.

You could also try cairo-dock from AUR. You can find it here: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15201

I think it's AWN, but does it matter which one it is ? Try both and see which one you like more. They're both great wink

Yeah docks is cool, but my experince says that having a dock in a 1024x768 resolution is just annoying.


Arch - It's something refreshing

Also try 'wbar'.  It's a small groovy launcher deal similar to the one in the screenshot.
