Wow, the integration of the clock into the wallpaper is one of the best I have seen so far! Kudos for that!

Man, not a single page with a KDE4 shot. Amazing.

Re: November 2009 Screenshots

Finally found an old nVidia card here at work and was able to get some xcompmgr going.

Straight black terminals get old.

For what do you need that xcompmgr? What you got there can be achieved with a nice crafted Xdefaults alone
Nice shot though

Re: November 2009 Screenshots

(Xmonad, with xmobar at the top, and three xterms) I use xcompmgr to let xmonad fade the inactive windows out 20%. I really like it, this way the active window is in good contrast to the rest.
I probably will change a lot, as i just discovered xmonad 2 days ago

Look in the upper window in my screenshot. The important parts are the import Xmonad.Hooks.FadeInactive, the myLogHook definition and the " >> (myLogHook) at the end of the , LogHook line in the main. (The other stuff in te LogHook line is just for xmobar).
It's actually pretty easy, just make sure that on the loghook-line you have () around the different parts..

EDIT: Oh and of course you need a running xcompmgr...

Re: November 2009 Screenshots

My (probably unremarkable) desktop, I'm-using-both-of-my-monitors edition.

Clean:

Dirty:

I must admit, now that I'm using MPD again, I'm beginning to miss my Awesome setup and its "now playing" widget.

Edit: silly KDE bouncing-cursor launch feedback, clean screenshot should be clean!

Usually I use awesome, but it has been getting really irritating on my netbook. So I thought would try out KDE on my netbook and I'm beginning to like it!

Same old boring stuff I have always had....

http://omploader.org/vMm9vawp

nice colors, could you give the vimrc and xdefaults ?

Sure, the xdefaults are just Taters colors (thanks Tater!).

.Xdefaults: http://dpaste.com/116905/
.vimrc: http://dpaste.com/116908/

On a side note I tried out that scratchpad in brisbin33's post, it's pretty awesome.
