markwolfe Veteran Posted January 2, 2010 Veteran Share Posted January 2, 2010 Xubuntu, running fluxbox (XFCE is for the wife and kids, when they use my PC) Pidgin and Skype running for my messaging. Thunderbird and Firefox for email and browsing. Conky shows all for my system monitoring (and you can see I run a few boinc projects) The terminal window shows a fluxbox feature I love, but don't use nearly often enough: tabbed windows (the titlebar is tabbed, and I can switch between terminals by clicking the appropriate section of the titlebar) My window decorations? Created for Windows by emmzaa on Neowin. I just used her images with her permission to make it work in fluxbox. In use: Clean: Oh, yeah. The wallpaper is from a site that I cannot link to, due to adult content, but that particular image is obviously OK for Neowin (probably not for some work locations, or church groups) :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/860842-gnu-linux-january-2010-desktops-thread/#findComment-592055652 Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Frank B. Subscriber² Posted January 2, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted January 2, 2010 Something like Clearlooks or Nodoka for instance. More pleasing to the eye than the default GTK theme, yet still usable.

08993 Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Trying out Compiz-Standalone - binding expo to a mouse key is like godmode for windowmanagers. Weird getting used to life with no taskbar or systray but it's so much faster.
