Description
( beware of the size!
)Guns N' Roses are back !! ( well, at least Axl Rose is )
So, in order to celebrate the release of Chinese Democracy - here's my 'chinese' shot.
Ubuntu 8.10 ( yep, sorry Arch! )
GNOME + Compiz-fusion
GTK2 theme - Manganite [link]
Emerald theme - Manganite [link]
Icons - Eikon 2
Dock icons - mixed ( from dA )
Wallpaper - [link]
Running - cairo-dock, rhythmbox ( and its Cover art plugin - [link] )
Cheers!
and, uh, if anyone knows how to get rid of the gnome-panel menu icon's arrow - without recompiling the whole gnome-panel - give me a hint, please!

I took the background from some theme prepared for XWD or the OSX dock, can't remember which one exactly now. You will probably find it easily on dA. The rest was done entirely in cairo-dock messing with height and the other settings.

piękny pulpit, serio, ale skąd mogę pobrać tą czcionkę? jest prześliczna!

Dzięki
O której czcionce mówisz?
W każdym bądź razie, powinny się one znajdować w paczce "archbackup" na [link]

a powiedz mi jeszcze cwaniaczku jak zrobiłeś w panelu inną czcionkę niż wszędzie indziej?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Najprościej to będzie tak :
zainstaluj gnome-color-chooser
w zakładce Panel, zahacz pole przy Font i wybierz odpowiednią czcionkę
Powinno działać, choć ja to robiłem inną metodą - poprzez edycję pliku .gtkrc używanego wówczas stylu GTK. Nie pamiętam dokładnie jak to było, choć dam sobie rękę uciąć, że uzyskany przez gnome-color-chooser efekt będzie ten sam.

Great piece of art!
Could you explain me how to set the icon offset in cairo-dock? I looked your .conf file but I could not understand which of the settings is the one who I need. Thanks!!!
Sorry for my bad English

Well, unfortunately, it's been more than a month since I've submitted this shot and.. I simply can't reproduce any configs I had back then.
It seems quite obvious that cairo-dock's configuration manager is a bit f*cked up, so you will have to spend some time dealing with it.

You totally have a nice zen attitude to your desktop look. It's really pretty and makes me want to spend more time on mine

Respect man, for a beautiful screenshot......
I've got only one question for you........
How/where did you get for ubuntu 8.10 menu applet on the top panel.......that "file, edit,view,places" thing?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks for your kind words.
You can get all the necessary information about globalmenu on [link]

How do you adjust the icon offset of Cairo-Dock?
I can't make them sit on top half of the dock like you do.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Check my theme - [link] file called solidslash-cairodock.tar

Wow that looks great!
How did you get the application menu to be on the top of the screen (detached from the application window)?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's called globalmenu.
There's a tutorial on that - [link]

You aren't the only one who hates that! I've been running across threads on various forums for years about the arrow. I don't even see the point of it. Like someone is going to click on it and the menu pops up, "whoa, I wasn't expecting that, good thing that arrow was there to tell me where the menu would be!"
Anyway, as far as I know, there is no way to get rid of that annoying arrow. Your only option is to use a different menu. :/
Nice shot btw.

If you had told me :/ Got a package ready since it didn't want to compile for me too... Got it worked some time ago and still got the package here!. Tell me if you go back to Arch again
