Is that a semi-transparent border around that window? How did you manage that?

I did a google search for "anorexia font" and found a bunch of unrelated fonts that didn't look like your screenshot. Would you mind sharing where you got it?

Windows was made for looking at success from a distance through a wall of oversimplicity. Linux removes the wall, so you can just walk up to success and make it your own.

Re: September 2008 Screenshots

These absolutely stunning desktops is what makes me want to use Linux so badly (and I will). This is one thing Microsoft Windows lacks. Yes, I know there is programs that can change the look and feel of Microsoft Windows but these are 3rd party shareware programs which feel buggy and 'hacked'. Linux supports multiple desktop managers which gives the end user much more freedom to choose which he/she wants. And of course gives the end user much more customizability because most (if not all) popular desktop managers and window managers come with extensive selections of themes and customizations which gives room for everyone! Infact, Linux is freedom!

I know this may sound random but I just felt like saying it.

Keep up the really great work guys and perhaps one day I will be able to showcase great desktops that are as beautful as these.

Second one for the month, Clearlooks Gray2 is much more agreeable.

And get in here Jayem! No time like the present to abandon your corporate overlords and come revel in the filth of our desktop thread.

Edit: I thought I should mention this to people. If you're using xs.to to host your image and use their forum code that displays thumbnails, you can do everyone a favour and switch the url your thumbnail links to to the direct link provided lower on the page instead of the php page with ads and junk on it.

Sweet desktop you got there.

That's a real nice wallpaper! Thanks for sharing it (and the other ones which I like too). Interesting names, reminds me of some great music tracks.

Haha so I did...err yeah, that was intentional, I meant to do that!  It's spelt wrong because running Nautilus as root is wrong...or something like that

@PJ: Thanks for the comments and yes, I'm guilty of listening to Tool/Perfect Circle excessively as I'm sure Libby would be happy to point out as well *ahem*
