It's a window in a gnome in a window in a gnome.

After I did this I realized it would have been pretty cool if I put a gnome in a window.

You'll have to get the UXTheme patcher. All it does it make a minor change in a windows .dll so that you can use themes not made by microsoft.

Get it [url=http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=140707]here

I'm not really sure. I doubt it, because UXThemer really does very little. I wouldn't bother with anything other than UXThemer, though, myself. Everything I ever wanted I got from DeviantArt.

Beryl... nice!
And I really like that icon set. Where do I get it? Actually, I like everything. Kudos!

Ninjaman brings up a good point, I'm going to start listing off my desktop stuff.

GTK theme: Murrina-Everest
Beryl theme: Scaled_Black_Mod (plus changes for border thickness)
Icons: Dropline Neu!
Wallpaper: Spider (from [url=http://grevenlx.deviantart.com/]this guy via Pixelgirl Presents)

Now I kinda wish I had cream running as well; I really like the matching dark-ish theme (same colours as XChat which I modified to match).

What did you just call me?

I wonder what your desktop would look like with a web browser open to, say, compsci.ca? Wouldn't that be very bright against the black background? I find sometimes the best way to get a black theme is to use colour inversion (available from beryl).

Re: Desktops May '07
-----------------------------------
But... my background isn't black? Compsci.ca doesn't really look too bad, but unstyled text fields and buttons will look awkward. Even then, it's not a huge problem (though it helps when people are thorough in their CSS!). It might be interesting to see a Beryl plugin that just inverted the Value rather than RGB.

Anyways, I called you ninjaman because you're never in the channel.

Still May!  Just reinstalled Linux and decided to give Beryl another shot.
