Man, linux is ugly! :p

Man, linux is ugly! :p

this is my work desktop, it has to be ugly. If it were pretty that would be wrong.

Linux works better than microsuck for most of the work I am doing today, seeing as it's faster and smarter and less locky-uppy.

Uhm, you can click the image for a bigger version, you know. It's Vista with one of the background pics that comes along with it. Can't say I've cared about personalising this partition all that much.

Currently I'm using pictures I've taken as backgrounds. You can find some of them in the photography thread.

Click for full size (this is scaled down 50%)

And for the critics who claim Linux isn't pretty, have a look at this (http://plughole.sdf-eu.org/misc/screenshots/xkcdscreencap.png). E17, with most of the shiny turned off or not visible when that was taken. I can do some pretty stunning things with XFCE as well.

Edit: The included screenshot is aewm for the window manager, aepanel for the panel, root-tail puts the emacs hymn on the desktop background, while the desktop background itself is gray40 with the x logo (as drawn by xlogo) slapped on it (using the gimp). The little app waving at you is xmessage. The GTK theme is (checks) CleanIce-Dark.

Fluxbox? It could be worse - but I tend to prefer Blackbox myself.

At the poster who was wondering about screen size, I'd guess that's a 17" laptop widescreen, lots of those have that resolution.

Am I right?

Edit: Apparently not - I underguessed. See the post above mine.

I downsized the 6000x2906 to be the height of my desktop.

I used to use this one, http://www.hellgatelondon.com/goodies/file/47/68/#fancy_panel
I set it to tile mode so I had the upper half as my desktop.

I tend to prefer Blackbox to Fluxbox. I'm currently running aewm though.

Running a Mac them with StyleXP on XP. I made the background myself. The banana is from a Velvet Underground cover with some shadow and the background is that blue Mac background, blurred and with the hue changed.

It used to be worse. Notice the odd space between two of the columns.

:DWhy?

Also, hurry up and move to Canada already.

Looks pretty slick and simmilar light design philosophy I may have to keep my eye on it

I just never found flux particularly intuitive to my style and no experience with blackbox

It is cluttered beyond comprehension.
That's the way I like it. All nice and clustered.

Mine is like a storage bin things come in there get worked on then leave for the most part

Anything long term gets filed in the correct place and media immediately unless there is something I am doing with it at the time

I am forget full so somethings things hang out for longer then they should but for the most part thats my process

MY work computer tends to have a bit more on it though as I usually have everything taking up the entire screen I rarely look at the desktop enough to remember to remove stuff
