I am also curious about Fluxbox. I came over this on Youtube:

Has anybody tried it?

New month and time to show of my desktop again. This time I have added Cairo Dock to my Gnome3-shell.
It is possible to put applets on the desktop with cairo and that square to the upper right animates my photo/pic. directory.


As you can see I am still using guake as drop down terminal - I am addicted to it. And I still use the background animation script.

Mandriva 2011.0 with both Quick Launcher and traditional menu:


Not exactly my desktop but my VB
Here is my desktop with Mandriva 2010.2

Good ol' Gnome2 and good ol' Compiz

The March addition of my desktop in Arch kernel 3.2.11-1 and KDE 4.8.2

And a small competition
Did I implement elements from bjoernvold.com there?
If so where?

I know! I know!

Don't look if you want to play.

The Start Berserk! The Start Berserk!

Until I can find a proper and real distro to install to the netbook that will work, I've reinstalled Mint, with Gnome 3. I did some hunting around for the things that I needed extension-wise. The last times that I installed Gnome 3, I went with every Gnome 3 extension in the book, in the hopes that Gnome 3 would come close to something functional for me. It never really worked. One extension would conflict with another, and on and on, some wouldn't work at all, some I just plain didn't like. This time, I hunted around for things that would give me what I needed, and nothing more.

So, this is fully non-MGSE. Fully. It got to be too much, like Firefox, wherein one has the compulsion to install every extension in the book, for things that a browser should include in the first place. All I have here, is the Gnome 2 compatibility Applications menu, the Extended Places Menu, the Gnome Shell Reflection Extension, and that's it, on the Mint-Z-Mate gtk theme, with Gnome-wise icons and Esco window borders (decoration, whatever):



The Extended Places Menu:


The Applications Menu:


Keepin' it simple this time 'round. Maybe someday I'll get 'round to a background and some such. Now, if Mint would just give me back my scrollbar arrows, I'd be much obliged.

Arch in Fallback mode - because I had forgotten how impressive Compiz looks
