Yes I like that one. Here is my Mandriva desktop with the Atlantis cube activated. I use a pic. of me and my wife in the Jacuzzi here and the fishes are swimming around in that. The Atlantis cube is nice for water themes.
The background is a Dolphin picture.

Very very nice!

Re: What does your desktop look like?
Wow, some of those are really great. I never have time to tweak things up really, I even have a python script that chooses my wallpaper for me.

Re: What does your desktop look like?
You always find such nice wallpapers! I kind of fell for this one in my Arch:
It still is an Arch side of the moon theme -sort of.

Like in "picks some wallpaper from a folder every 30 seconds"? I am looking for that for Gnome (like you can do in KDE).

Re: What does your desktop look like?
There is desktop drapes but it is too OTT for me so I wrote my own python script.
I wrote a blog post on it: http://www.rickvause.com/2010/06/random ... for-gnome/

Re: What does your desktop look like?
Mine is simple, is all out of the box defaults.
I am pretty vanilla when it comes to eye candy.
Spend more time working on cars and airplanes.
Our latest creation 1994 Geo Tracker 4x4 Is my son's 1st car. Told him, if he fix it, is his. Of course, coach him along the way. It was in such a nasty shape that we ripped all out and redid it. Was a cheap-do-yourself-project. I paid $1,200 for it, and added about $2,200 on parts.

Re: What does your desktop look like?
nice piece of code there, although if you just want a script that runs at startup that changes your background pictures automatically every 30. second, you could extend your script a bit further:
then you save this as wp.py and run it by running:
Code: Select all
import os, random, time
WALLPAPER_DIR = '/path/to/wallpapers'
walls = os.listdir(WALLPAPER_DIR)
while(1):
wallpaper = os.path.join(WALLPAPER_DIR, walls[random.randint(0, len(walls)-1)])
if os.path.exists(wallpaper):
os.system('gconftool-2 -s -t string /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename "%s"' % wallpaper)
time.sleep(30)
then you save this as wp.py and run it by running:
Code: Select all
python wp.py &

Re: What does your desktop look like?
That one works nicely b1o. Does it affect the CPU load?
