Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex Alpha 2
XFCE + Compiz-fusion
GTK theme - Vorta
Emerald theme - Vorta
Icons theme - Eikon
Running : sonata (music player), thunar (file manager), conky (system monitor), tint2 (task manager), trayer (tray)
oh, forgot to add : conky & tint & trayer configurations are based on a brilliant "What is in a name?"'s ( guy from ubuntuforums ) idea. He's also the author of icon's theme, so any kinds of appreciation go to him! Thanks dude!
can i get just install XFCE desktop environment
sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
and get going?
thanks for your help
I am burning xubuntu !!!
great desktop ! I have been looking for something like this for ages and can't get over it once I have seen this
Few questions
1) Is this using GNOME or KDE desktop or something totally different? Which intrepid ISO should I download --- gnome, kde or something else?
2) How can I configure my desktop to be like yours? Will be indebted if you can guide me.
And once again, I just can't get over the look of your desktop, I have fallen in love with it
First of all, I used here XFCE desktop environment. Since I assume you don't have a lot of linux-related experience, I suggest you to download Xubuntu. It is based on XFCE and it has all the necessary things you would need.
Speaking of configuration, it's plain and easy. As soon as you manage to download, burn and, as a consequence, successfully install Xubuntu on your hard drive, set up your wallpaper & gtk theme. All the needed information is located in the submission's description. You shouldn't have any problems with that. Next, install all the required stuff. You will need trayer, tint2, sonata and conky - there are lots of tutorials and how-tos on doing that. You will also have to get rid of the xfce4-panel, you can do that with killing it and saving your session so that during a startup, xfce will not load the panel. Instead of it, add tint to the sessions and configure it with the code I've mentioned here : [link]
Unfortunately, I do not have that conky configuration file any more. It's easy to set up on your own, just google for some guides. The icon set I used here is Eikon, but considering the fact that this submission is a bit old, there is an updated version of that icons set - get them from here : [link]
And the most important thing - go to ubuntuforms.org , get some help on basics from them and use google

I like that taskbar
You can download icon theme ( work of "What is in a name?" from ubuntuforums.org, btw. he's doing great job over there ) from : [link]
