How can this be replicated in linux?
I wanted to make my desktop to look like this (the first screenshot with the orange wallpaper). This guy is using Windows. I'm thinking of using:
WM: Openbox
SysInfo: Conky
For the rest (panel, etc...) i can't figure out exactly what programs to use.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Just the pager is tricky...
Btw. tell me those are not 31 virtual desktops...

Is it just me or is that one a total waste of space?

Re: How can this be replicated in linux?
What bugs me about those shots is the claim that there aren't any icons. Yes there are; he's just made them into abbreviations instead of pictures. Big deal. My desktop has no icons on it because... it doesn't have any icons on it.

It can be replicated easily. I made it this afternoon. I'm going to post it in the OpenBox screen section

Of course it's not just you, it's also common sense
The day Microsoft makes a product that doesn't suck, is the day they make a vacuum cleaner.

Also, this quote pyramid is ironically not a waste of space. Ahem.

Where is the tray? did he hide all the icons in tray? That makes the computer so much easier to use....
