I'd have an [Arch] desktop screenshot but I'm still figuring out what configuration I want... -_- In my laziness I'll probably go with an XFCE4 setup, although I'd rather have an Openbox + Tint2 one... /updated my Windows 7 screenshot...the right-click menu is as customized as it gets...

It's KDE4.4 with compiz fusion as the WM. I can't stand kdes default KWin WM and didn't like KDE at all until the 4.0 version started getting stable. For borders using an Emerald border that is part of compiz fusion. I love how it lets you put the title buttons wherever you want as I can't stand having the close button in the top right as all others seem to copy from other OS'. This is on a Gentoo system.

Just because we all use windows doesn't mean you are better than us. Linux users are all pirates anyway, too cheap to pay for their own software. Post some pictures yourself instead of links to other sites.
By comparison, I've spent nearly 3 whole days perusing those forums and the wallbase site for backgrounds and I'm about a hair's breadth away from trying out Arch Linux. ;p

It's never good to wake up in the shrubs naked, you either got way too drunk, or your azz is a werewolf.

Even if you are blind and it happens to be your first day on ever touching a computer, \"for Pete's sake\" right click your desktop/view/small icons before your screen capture. I just urks me when people leave the default icon size unless it happens to be a 10\" or smaller laptop or maybe a Q1U .... No0bz

Ah, the Wyoming side (my favorite side) of the Teton mountains near Jackson. Very nice.

My brother's friend has the beta, I played a couple times. Sadly, only skilled people bought that, and I've never played starcraft...

Needless to say, I didn't win.

The panel auto hides, but I figured I'd show it for this picture. The tan to black isn't part of the picture. It's the desktop color. Dummy files were added so you can see the theme. I think they look nice.

Pics of my theme... it's pretty basic:

Heh. If you had said \"e17\" I would've understood... No, no enlightenment packages installed... This is simplistic openbox... Maybe in a few months I'll try another window manager, but for now, I'm still tweaking what there currently is.
