Aaaaarrrrgggggh, stupid ISP was down this morning, preventing me from starting the FDT!
Anyway, I hereby declare this thread
OFFICIAL. Since no one has done so yet, I will post the ever-so-important links:
UXTheme lets you use new skins in Windows XP.
Coolmon and
StatBar put system info on Windows desktops.
GKrellM puts a system monitor bar on UNIX desktops.
Dockapps are another way to get system info on UNIX, if your window manager supports them. Electrode uses these.
Transparent is a program that can remove the solid color backgrounds from desktop icon labels on Win95/98/ME/NT/2K, allowing your wallpaper to show through.
Rainlender puts a calender on Windows desktops.
Desktop Weather puts weather info on Windows desktops.
Pic hosting services:
Skroob's Paulson's Adul's
Anyone who posts a drag-and-drop link will be dragged and dropped off of a 3-story building.
How to take a screenshot
Windows: Hit printscreen (
not alt+printscreen or any other combo), then paste in paint, photoshop, etc. Then save as JPG or another browser-friendly format.
UNIX: Use
The GIMP, ksnapshot, or the command
import -window root filename.jpg.
Let's see yours! Please mark pics that can't be safely opened at work, or in the presence of parents or wife. It's hard to enjoy an FDT when you have to have your mouse on the 'close' button in case a pic of half-naked woman pops up. :frown:
My desktops:
All are Slackware Linux or Linux From Scratch systems with the Fluxbox window manager.
