Re: Ghost1227's Desktop Workshop
I wasn't purposely putting you on a timer, but the baby does come top priority.
Once again you did a really great job! I really like this MGS desktop better.

Re: Ghost1227's Desktop Workshop
Hey Ghost1227,
Here's a request, but it's not based on a specific wallpaper.
I'm looking for something simple, no bright colours, only black and white fonts, light gray everywhere else.
I don't care for a big conky with lots of info. A minimal conky with mpd info would be nice though.
Something like this http://uladk.deviantart.com/art/Prototy … 7-62721451
I like the colours, wallpaper style and the music info.
This firefox theme would also be a good example of what I'm looking for (colours, fonts, simple icons) http://gvsb.deviantart.com/art/Etched-f … 3-97727435
Hope this isn't too restrictive. I'm looking forward for what you come up with.

Well... Not sure if it's what you're looking for, but here's an attempt at meeting your standards!
Looks great!
Thanks,

Re: Ghost1227's Desktop Workshop
I like your work, Ghost1227. I've been watching this topic since its birth and now I'd like to propose you something: do a theme based on this picture (wallpaper)

Re: Ghost1227's Desktop Workshop
waiting....
Hey you sent me an image that was over 6000 pixels wide... I had to figure out what part of it to use. I like the section I ended up using, but will be tweaking the gtk and openbox themes down the road a bit.
New York can be downloaded here.

Re: Ghost1227's Desktop Workshop
np. NEXT!
Hey...
Love your thread. Really nice conkys & designs. I already used some ideas for my desktop...I'm thinking about this as my new wallpaper. Had used it before, with a pretty standard conky. Unfortunately, most configs don't look good due to the perspective & movement of the image. I'll hack something together myself, but if you got the time to have a look at it, I'd really appreciate that... nothing special, mainly Date & Time, mpd infos and perhaps upload/download speed & traffic.
