    Desktop again... I revamped it to look a little jazzier, since I was bored with my last theme. Scaled down from 1280x1024.

    Your desktop is so cool and tidy, what programs do you use to get that dock and performace inditcators etc? Must suck a bit of performace with all that stuff active though.

    The dock bars, transparency, etc. are provided natively by KDE. The system process stuff is a small script written for Karamba, which is a small applet for KDE. Since Karamba runs in idle process, it really doesn't take up any resources. And KDE doesn't run any slower or use any more resources to display transparency, since it is capable of using hardware accelleration to do alpha blending (transpenancy, shadows). Usually I prefer my desktop to be a little more minimalistic than it is, but change is good. :good:

    Buddy Rich, I see you have very good taste in drummers :)
    also Louis Armstrong, very nice jazz trumpet player from New Orleans. :)
    Backround is a nice pretty blue, I've never seen a linux distro that hasn't wooped window's themes in beauty! ...Except RedHat.

    Linux has never looked better, reminds me of the default OS X background:good:, I'm assuming you downloaded that theme but what version of Linux are you using there? Does it usually look that good by default?
