BA Fallout 3 desktop.

P.S. You can press the print screen key in Linux and it will usually pop up with a dialogue asking you to save your screenshot. On Windows you press print screen, then open up MS Paint or something and paste into it.

Pidgin? Emesene is so much better IMO. Give it a try. I think it's in the repositories, but try to download it from their website.

Dan, I highly recommend checking out AwesomeWM. It is ideal for console-oriented use, yet maintaining the usability of GUI apps.

For those interested, it has the following default bindings: Link.
It is highly configurable! You can literally program it to your liking, using Lua (and perhaps other languages). For more information, check out the Wiki

That screen shot was acutaly taken on windows (sadly), it was me tunneling into one of the servers in full screen mode :p


BTW, i fianly fixed that issue that unitlity pointed out and all it took was setting up my own pair of domain name servers >.<

Trying out rainmeter. It feels a little to heavy though.

Post subject:  RE:Summer 2009 Desktops

It runs under 10k, and when you have that many skins open, it doesnt look nice, and "heavy" as you put it so.
