Sure, why not?
http://paperwings.tamu.edu/~jack/sept_03.jpg
fluxbox 0.9.6pre8
SECOND theme
gkrellm
idesk
some dockapps
And my favorite underated terminal,
Multi-Gnome-Terminal
It's just to bad the tab area is so large. Wish I could shrink it without turning it off entirely.
Oh yeah, I drew the wallpaper myself (well and added the words and brown area in Gimp). _________________ I RTFM already, damnit, and the manual writer needs to be smacked. |

It is funny that you should say that, because I am currently taking a bachelor on GUI and interface design, and most people think that "Windows 95 just looks ugly" and that there was no thought behind it. That is very wrong, but the reason that the Windows desktop haven't changed much, is becuase it is harder for users to navigate when the interface suddenly changes. So the leap to the candy-look of WindowsXP was subject to much debate before it was decided to go ahed.
But since Microsoft are afraid to scare people away with different interfaces, GNOME and other free DM's win because they can change; and much research have been done on GUI's since Windows 95.
I'm in a hurry so sorry if it don't make sense. |
This fear of new UIs is one of the reasons I'm having trouble rolling out OS X. Even had a former boss (he left) get pissed off at me when I upgraded the sales manager's machine; the sales manager was thrilled! Ah, well. |

ok...I just recently switched to kahakai and it's eye candy city (ok...so I like transparency). Got the background off of deviantart..what you will see is xchat, gkrellm, xmms (bottom corner), an Eterm, and the shaded buddylist of mine from gaim. (oh yeah...and a web-browser at forums.gentoo.org...can't forget that )

*Note: the file is a freaking 1mb in size...if there is demand, I'll trim it down a bit. I just took the screenshot straight from scrot and posted it.
enjoy! _________________ while(true) {self.input(sugar);} |

Now, most people will probably think this is lame compared to theirs, but I like functionality and consistency (along with having something easy on the eyes) much more than eyecandy. Plus, I get enough of the real Aqua look-and-feel at work.

And before you say it looks kinda like GNOME I'll point out that that panel-at-top-windowlist-at-bottom was a KDE idea first--before KDE was even 1.0 in fact. The icons are shamelessly stolen from GNOME, so I've been told.
The windowmanager style is KDE's built-in Web style, and the widget style for KDE and GTK+/GTK+2 is QtCurve, a *Curve variant that's KDE colorscheme-aware. The icon set is Gorilla. Both QtCurve and Gorilla can be found at KDE-Look.org. |
