Since it’s year end, I thought I’d post one more “fun piece” for everybody. After Thom posted an article on his customized KDE desktop, I thought it might be interesting to compare desktop screengrabs and see what other OSNews’ers desktops look like. Are you cluttered or clean? Are you minialist? What’s your wallpaper? Upload a picture to an online service or your own website and show off your desktop. I’ll start: Adam’s desktop (312kb).

Some time ago(4 years or more), I spent 2 or 3 days investigating a “perfect” desktop for me, with the following requirements:
* no icons on the desktop, my windows desktops always end up really cluttered, so on linux(my main os) I wanted _nothing_ on the desktop.
* I wanted to be able to run the same environment on my then underpowered laptop and my main computer.
* 64Mb of RAM on my laptop(I have since then upgraded my laptop, but it’s still useful to have a lowmem environment)
* I have to be able to control volume and playing/pausing/resuming the mp3 player that is constantly playing without having to restore the window.
* I’m an alternating php/c/c++ developer, so I need to have a browser constantly open to look up documentation, an editor to code, a (fast!) terminal to ssh to remote machines, a MUA to read/write emails, and an mp3 player to play some music while coding.
and I ended up with the following:
* blackbox for my window managing needs
* gkrellm for launching programs, controlling xmms/bmp/audacious, a clock, memory usage, etc…
* firefox for browsing
* scite for editing code
* audacious to play mp3’s
* aterm for a terminal
* sylpheed to check my mail
None of the programs have high requirements(except firefox), and fit completely on a very custom gentoo 64Mb system. The only big dependency of most of the programs is gtk+, but as it is a common dependency, it is only loaded once in memory.
I haven’t changed the desktop since then(except for some slight adjustments), and I must say I find it pretty comfortable for everyday use, on 3 computers with different resolutions(from 1400×1050 to 1024×768, and previously on 800×600).

It changes constantly – every three minutes. Running on Kubuntu 6.06, by the way.

Sharon!
Good to see a fellow fan
– a truly masterful artist
For the record, I have a collection of Corrs, as well as various other Celtic images cycling on my OSX desktop
I like to keep a diverse array of looks and feels going, but green has always been my favorite color, and for some reason I just need a dark wallpaper (so usually a black border around images etc)
I was going to include a shot of Andrea, but the editing time expired first.
I also could have shown my Windows XP side of the machine which currently is running only Corrs wallpapers.
But then I’d have to reboot…:-)
These are the best desktops I have ever created. Simple, but totally cool. I wish I had a 3d card in my laptop so could use real transparency, but to be honest fake transparent terminals are easier to read anyway.

my xfce4 desktop:
http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/45649761/
with:
gnome_swallow+wmaker dockapps
and
gdesklets
I am fairly minimal. I have a hidden panel in the top right for the tray and a clock but that is it. My Mac is the same way; I disabled the dock and removed everything but the menu bar. I rely on keyboard shortcuts and for things I do not have a shortcut to I just type the command. On the Mac I use Quicksilver for everything. So basically clutter on the desktop serves no purpose except to distract me.
Both are xfce4, though I only recently (~ 2 months ago) switched from FVWM. The first uses xfwm for the windows manager. On the second I use beryl or xfwm if i am running dual screen.

http://thumbsnap.com/v/GTHlG2lW.png
Well here is my desktop on Ubuntu Dapper. The panel has been congfigured to be very similar to that I had on GNOME 1.x many years ago. I have reverted to the standard Clearlooks theme which I find both businesslike and restful.
The wallpaper is a representation of the Godesses Maat and Isis who look after me and the application is Ghemical showing the results of a simple quantum chemical calculation.

Because it is impossible to keep your UI consistent (lingually) when not using English. Other than that, Dutch is a horrible language.

Wow maybe if I installed GNUstep and ran it in monochrome I could get my desktop to look like that.
Honestly 17 years ago when I was a grad student I lusted after a Next but settled for a PC running DOS instead 🙁
ew, that sucks. I wanna get a color system eventually. A black and white turbo was all I could/can afford at the moment though

Just Ubuntu Feisty 64 with Resilience Theme and no 3D yet as Compiz ain’t quite there for me.
I’m using BBlean (Blackbox) on XP, with a program I’ve written myself that renders a wallpaper (which updates on the minute) and has a special circle-based file browser interface (which you can embed pictures in – like sticky posters – per directory).
The temporary name for the project was “ActiveWall”, but I will be changing the name to “Sundew” for public distribution. Until I post the final app (maybe the source) for free – NO you can’t have a copy of it yet, it’s very beta. The small bead in the middle gently grows and sprouts (animated) icons in a round or square (not shown) fashion.

I will continue adding features, but for now there will be no open widget api, as it changes too often and I’d hate to annoy people with a moving target. I will continue to post details at http://jam.t35.com since some of my friends have also taken interest.
I’m a slob and this is the cleaned up version on a dual-booting mac mini (Ubuntu edgy and a rarely used 9 gig partition for OSX); I put the same on my Dell notebook (it does confuse people)

I rarely post here, in fact, since registration started, I’d never even gotten around to registering until now. I’m a desktop junkie — if that makes sense. I used to be 100% console, but once I discovered FVWM I found I could make a truly capable desktop that made things fast and easy, but also good looking.
The desktops you’re about to see are over a years worth of on and off configuring towards FVWM. They are built on a number of my own scripts/work as well as some other peoples. The presentation is minimal overall.
The top 100 pixels or so is taken up by a media player (mpd front end) and a several line terminal. Both can be “rolled up” using F1 and F2, and a maximized window will go over them. The bottom bar is not complete yet, as eventually it will have more than a battery monitor and the pager on it.
FVWM’s pager is perhaps the best I’ve ever seen. You can drag windows off of it, cross between two pages, like seeing the right half of the first and the left half of the second. You can even sidescroll through all your windows that way, breezing across however many desktops you might have. The ability to move windows in the pager and “pick” them from it is by far the feature I cannot do without. I can switch to an empty desktop, and pick windows from the three others right off the pager into the clean desktop.
In addition to that, using a series of scripts I open music, videos, and images from my menu. I can even download and view the latest of my favorite comics, or select my wallpaper. Like others, I also have the thumbnailed view for minimized windows.
All of this is sloppy focused to make fast use of middle click copy and paste.
Anyway, all the graphical applications I use are GTK2 for the sake of a unified look and feel but also simply because I tend to prefer most GTK2 applications. I stay away from gnome libraries and gnome dependencies as much as possible, preferring the simplest applications to do the task at hand.
Applications include Firefox, Thunar (file manager), Sylpheed (e-mail), Tea (text editor), GIMP, and PyMPD (for a mor iTunes like front end to my music).
That all said, here’s some simple screenshots:

My friend and I are having a disagreement over which is better, having a nice picture in the background – or funtional features. I say functionality is more important, and besides – I can incorporate a background image if I wanted, but I preferred the simple beauty of gradients. Besides, there are folder-linked images that display wallpaper-stickies, so there is a kind of wallpaper – it just changes.
I posted a few more:

This is my primary workstation running XP SP2 –
http://battletech.hopto.org/images/desktop_dec_2006.jpg
21″ center @ 1600×1200 (sometimes bumped to 2048×1536 for 3dsMax and Autocad), 17″ to the left @ 1280×960 (NOT x1024 – no ****ed up aspect ratio for me) with the taskbar in portrait so I can actually SEE THE TITLES of running applications (*** SHOCK ***) and finally a 15″ on the right @ 1024×768… I used to have a 19″ over on that side, but it shit the bed… of course since they are all running an ACTUAL 100dpi physical, XP is set to ‘large fonts/120dpi’ (since windows is designed to run 96dpi ‘internally’ at a physical 75)
So that’s a whopping 3,904 pixels across – and nowhere NEAR enough for what I do… (I seriously need two more of these 21″ CRT’s). The outer monitors are running off a PCI Radeon 9250, while the center one is on pair of PCI express Ge7600GT in SLI – all from the same machine… and I STILL have a third PCI express slot free
Normally there’s a lot more showing on the desktop than there is right now – I’ve usually got three copies of win32pad open editing HTML, CSS and Javascript (and sometimes a fourth for php/mySQL), paint shop pro going, copies of Opera, FF , IE6 and IE7 open for browser testing (with Safari open on Dellmac), a copy of 98 and a copy of Ubuntu running in MS virtual PC (for testing IE5, Opera 8.5, Konqueror – as well as font rendering differences between large fonts/small fonts, cleartype/standard, freetype vs. windows, etc, etc, etc…) Oh, and let’s not forget the multiple copies of acrobat pro running full height on the center display…
Thankfully, being sunday it’s a slow morning.
I’d post up my linux P2 laptop, but that’s just a stock Xubuntu install… I’d post up pics from the Dellmac (Inspiron 2500 running OSX 10.4.8) but that’s just stock with the stock ‘stones’ pic… and the G3 laptop – well, System 9 is just embarrassing (there’s a reason it’s being converted into a wall mounted LCD picture frame)

Unless I am using Kubuntu to do something graphics-heavy, I normally run its software through an X-Server running on Windows which allows me easily use Linux software and Windows software together.
I get the transparent effects via Ecliz_Deluxe2 (Ecliz_Deluxe_Tranz scheme) skin for Windowblinds. The icon bar on the right is Windows PowerPro as is the text above the system tray. The start button has been removed (with StartKiller) and replaced by Free Launch Bar menus.

KDE 3.5.5 w/flameboy freebsd wallpaper
there’s a little bit going on on the kicker..
Excuse me, but why was my post modded down?
Because they think your desktop is ‘orrible?
Maybe they don’t like the “bloke” wallpaper, not to my taste either, but I wouldn’t mark people down for their personal tastes. but there you go.
“Because they think your desktop is ‘orrible? ”
That’s not a valid option for moderating down posts, now is it?

My first Mac! The Mac 512k with System 3.3 I still use this machine all the time to play classic games like Asteroids, Pac-Man, etc… I just haven’t got over this one since I got it in 1984!

I got the same wallpaper somewhere, too bad my friends mock it.
Here is my BeOS5 desktop running on Pentium III with old stabile Mozilla and Midnight Commander as file manager.

Now called Window Maker, my favourite window manager. To each his own I guess.
Slackware 11.0 / Window Maker;
Eterm windows “embedded” into the desktop (Eterm -x –buttonbar no –scrollbar no –trans), fixed WxH and “always on bottom”;
XMMS trying to hide itself at the top;
and the necessary dockapps in the lower right.

BeOS is my primary operating system and will continue to be for some time. Here is the desktop of one of my more frequently used systems.
