Here's one I'm testing with my new monitor:

latest desktop of Mizuki, my newly acquired X31

Nice desktop mph. You gotta love fluxbox for it's simple elegance. Here's what I run on my R52 everyday. OpenSUSE 10.2 KDE.

thanks Harry.

I love fluxbox, it can be a bit of a pain to configure sometimes but it's definitely worth the effort.

The desktop to me newly opened ThinkPad R60!

(link goes to 440K 1024x768 png)

1. Royale Remixed (using Royal Zune)

2. TrueTransparency (Aero 2 skin)

3. Dark Wood (1024x768)

the combination of these three things on black thinkpad is dead classy.

wish I'd known about royale noir a long time ago, xp really needs it.

I've put that up as my background for a little while - looks very nice indeed! Might play around with the colours and see whether I can give it a more "authentic" rosewood/mahogany look

After my successful installation of debian etch on my T23 (and 600X), I have found the perfect wallpaper for debian:

The original full sized image is AMAZING and I have cropped the original image around the debian lego (1400*1050) to get a VERY nice wallpaper ... if anyone wants that let me know.

this is one thing that microsoft needs to add to windows. in kde background settings, you can choose a color (or two colors along with one of a variety of gradient types) and then apply one of a variety of blending types. basically what this does is take any background (usually works best with 2- or 4-color simpler images) and completely change the coloring and light source. it works surprisingly well, I just wish it let you save to jpeg or something.

not a perfect example, but I think it illustrates the feature:

(640K png; Dark Wood w/ 2-color horizontal gradient, intensity blending, medium balance)
http://tintar.com/greenwood.png
(630K png; Dark Wood w/ 1-color intensity blending, medium balance)

This is my current desktop:

The file is 1.3 MB, sorry about that.

(Screenshot is from Ubuntu 7.04. I've just updated to 7.10, which looks the same except for a Pidgin icon instead of a Gaim icon in the tray.)

Here is the desktop on my X61s running Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy):

This is my 7.10 desktop. I like it clean without icons (minus my downloading program)

I have always used a thinkpad -- here are some of my screenshots over the years:

Current (temporary machine): R50e

Previous:
T43

Older:
Clean Desktop

here's my current one

Here's the desktop I was using this summer on my 600X -- I'm still using the same one now, except that I lost my Start button customizations when I updated IE and I haven't gotten around to re-hacking explorer.exe to customize them again.

Also, check out that power level -- 9:25!! On an aging 600X! ...Now whether 9:25 hours represents the actual remaining battery power is another question entirely...



Built from:
1. Royale Remixed
2. Nut Icons for Rube
3. Custom "think" Start button by me
4. TClock (for date in Systray)

My A31.



Yes, realtime time. Autohide start bar. 3 icons on the desktop (My Computer, My Documents, Recycle Bin).

old screenshot from my A31, still classy:

How about this one




That´s my baby in action

Here's my latest desktop - OpenSUSE 10.3 64 bit on my T61/P.

And the beauty of Linux is that you can have several desktops to suit your mood:

Desktop 1:


Desktop 2:


Desktop 3


Desktop 4

Here's my T40-

My new T61. It's kind of plain, as I'm still getting settled.
