Re: Show off your XFCE desktop!

Okay, here goes my current desktop:

GTK theme: http://xfce-look.org/content/show.php/C … ent=115752
XFWM4 theme: http://xfce-look.org/content/show.php/D … ent=115034
wallpaper - some screenshot from Crysis probably
Conky config - slightly modified default one, nothing to be proud of
bottom bar has autohiding on of course

application in background -  Arch installation on VirtualBox

Some applications are WYSIWYG, and some are WYSIWTF.

Re: Show off your XFCE desktop!

dcc24, that screenshot is very nice.  Did you use the same Droid Sans font for the Desktop as you did in conky?

Re: Show off your XFCE desktop!

I appreciate it.  It helps to also know all the fonts you used with the other information.

Re: Show off your XFCE desktop!

I like it little and rectangular. I don't like the panels have a minimum of 16 pixels. I also don't like how with many themes part of the content of the panels is cut off.

Gtk Theme: Xfce (All custom themes are some kind of broken)
Gnome-Alternative Icons
Bitstream Vera Sans Roman 8 @ 90 DPI. (For most other fonts rendering is broken somewhere)
XFWM Theme: I edited Elegant Brit to have smaller Window Borders and such. Also encountered the Bug where X crashes when using 1 pixel Window Borders and EXA (free radeon driver).
Apps: Pretty obvious at you can see the taskbar.

In my screenshot above, I use 1 pixel window borders and I've never experienced any crashes with the radeon driver. Any steps to reproduce?

GTK, xfwm, wallpaper and icons are the same (see post #34)
Conky:
I was inspired by this, but I didn't use mpd and wanted to track both eth0/wlan0 at the same time, so I've altered his theme a little bit. The resulting config files/scripts are here and .conkyrc is here. For setup instructions, download the tar file from the deviantart link.

Tint2: tint2rc is here.

Re: Show off your XFCE desktop!

How do you get two panels in XFCE, one on top and one on bottom?  The vanilla XFCE install only has one.

Right-click panel, Personalize (or customize, mine is in Spanish and i'm not that good in backwards translations) and then click the +. Then position it where you want.

@dcc24: I changed up the layout and made thumbnails... was there something specific you wanted to point out?
