Cool desktop wallpaper you have :) ( I made it :P )

But anyways here is my kind of newb desktop (and my first post to this forum):

"Clean":

(semi)"Busy":

Theme is "Elegant Mine" and icons are AwOkenWhite.

Still tweaking around with the overall look and feel.

What's at the top? Is that a panel or conky?

pan · 2012-06-13 12:45:39

That's xfce panel with "alpha" value set to minimum

Sure mate.
Icons are Faenza Dark Black, font is "ohsnap 8", wallpaper from here, running 3 conky, all 3 are from this forum with some modifications to suits my needs, cursor from here
Also i`m using compiz with emerald, so the theme is VRunner-Quicksilver with color modified to arch blue.
I`m glad you like it.

Are you running Emerald as your WM? I've never seen an XFWM4 window title that had transparency like that.

Great desktop shots BTW. They are my favorite so far on this thread!

Trying out docky and loving it!

Wanted an Arch logo that would open up the XFCE menu. To get rid of the docky menu, (you can still get to the settings by right-clicking on the left-hand side of the dock) install gconf-editor and uncheck the box at apps->docky-2->Docky->Items->DockyItem->ShowDockyItem. Then I just added a custom desktop entry.

[Desktop Entry]
Name=ArchMenu
Comment=Open xfce menu and have an Arch Icon
Exec=xfce4-popup-applicationsmenu -p
Icon=/usr/share/archlinux/icons/archlinux-icon-crystal-128.svg
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Categories=Utility

I was having really annoying bugs/issues with every dock program I tried (awn,docky,dockbarx) , so I finally ditched them and learned to love xfce panel

Nice simple setup:

defcon · 2012-06-27 08:15:27

@bwat47
Which font do you use in terminal?

Absolutely awesome. Can you share where to get a trashcan like that?
