August 2010 Screenshot Thread (Page 1 of 12)

Here's another one just because I'm having fun:

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

My late July neon tube wallpaper was so kindly received that I decided to start August by sharing another version, the same neon lights with a different photo background layer. The photo used for the background is by Ally, from his exciting travelling website allystrip.com, Sunset rooftops (Marrakesh, Morocco). The text on the website says the gorgeous wallpapers are "free", so I trust they can be also modified for non-commercial purposes. The font for the neon tubes is called Spinach Outline (dafont.com).

Here is also a link to the multilayered XCF file without the photo background. [Updated 2010-08-03, see also my post below.]

P.S. Gutterslob, the blank inactive title bars are terrific, just as everything else in your scrot above, once again!

@kernelmustard - that url requires username/password, try using omploader.org instead?

First, my laptop Satellite with #! 9.04:

Everything is a mix of what I can see in forum such as this one,
thanks again to gutterslob and few more people...:)

Hi everyone,
It's only the 1st of August but we already have nice screens on the thread
I'm introducing you to my desktop computer, running Ubuntu Lucid 64, with a poor graphic card:

Just basic gnome!

you give me an idea

some mods based on Sector11's work in DHA

Thanks for sharing the XCF, Piraja.
Also thanks for the complement. I actually wanted to have the title bars raised/embossed, but didn't do so cos I couldn't replicate the effect in tint2
Maybe I should do away with tint2 altogether (I use OB's middle-click menu more often for task-switching, anyway).

I absolutely love your conky in this scrot, spy.... nice work!!

Would you mind waiting a couple of days?
I still need to make some pixmaps for the GTK and also need to conjure up a nicer OBmenu and tint2 config .... Once ready, I'll release everything in a suite/pack archive, along with some instructions.
I'll also try to clean up the gtkrc file and add some notes to it for you to refer to in case you want to make your own theme in future.
Sorry for the inconvenience. Actually planned to have the whole thing ready by today, but some work/life related stuff came up and sorta f*cked my Sunday 

If this 'idea' involves you wearing a dress with the theme's colours, I want pics!!

Funky wallpaper, Cog.... Did Sector11 do the modeling?
What's the app displaying 'mclintock' (your name/hostname?) on the right? Is it conky or billboard? I've seen you mention billboard a few times. What does it do, exactly? (I assume it does more than generate names)

Installed e16... interesting wm... this is what i finished with...

No, sorry

On my way towards realizing the crazy idea of rotating desktop wallpapers... You know how neon signs blink...

Multi-layer XCF neon sign downloadable here. Credits for the photo layer and font in my earlier post(s).
