Liquid Blue Theme

KDE Plasma Screenshots by mrcaseyb 5 comments

everything matches and works together!

very smooth.. pay attention people!this is how its done

notice this he has the same icons and same ol liquid...BUT its not the same old screenshot that everyone has. it is his! this is customization.

i would award you even more points is i could just because you made your desktop look different using the same stuff everyone else has (even more difficult IMHO)

the plan was for this to be released at the end of august but college started back up for me in the middle of august

there will be a delay.

i am however going to packacg up what i have done right now and release it soon...but sorry there will be no installer so all the handiwork must be done by the end user.

sorry again - Aug 23 2002

My Lindows Desktop

KDE Plasma Screenshots by MadMunky 12 comments

and i dont have to search for hours looking for other programs (libaries? you mean?) just so i can install what i want.

i use gentoo and its as easy as

emerge kde

in the console.

and it will get everysingle package i need and compile it in the right order even if i dont have X it gets it.

same with everything else.

and im always running the latest bleeding edge software.

updating is as easy as

emerge -u system && emerge -u world

*nice* screenshot (?)

KDE Plasma Screenshots by KoRn 13 comments

i was going to say something about how it looks like an engineers desktop. or something of the sort.

just think of it as a living space...

now you wouldnt go in a empty room and throw in a cool flat screen HDTV with a 70's puke green couch from goodwill and some futuristic lights with a wood floor. it would look terrible.

just stick to a theme and carry it through everthing. no in betweens

and it will look cool

but you do a better job with your desktop then my co-worker (who is also a programmer)

but he now just makes me hand over whatever look im using on my box to him (changes from month to month) - Aug 19 2002

im sorry but this desktop is horribly thrown together. next time try a more solid theme

have everything matching or at least complimenting each other.

xmms/windec/style/icons/etc

i see nothing new different. or tasteful in this shot.

Icon Sub-Sets by shok 124 comments

i just find it funny. I had these icons for kde a long time ago. all of my co-workers use macs and they thought it was cool that my desktop sitting next the theirs looked just like a row of lcd macs but.... it gets old. even they want to re-theme and i have long since moved away from the aqua look.

i just fiqure for customizing a desktop its all about design..not who can release the best/worst aqua icons/windec/style this week.

while these are excellent icons. ...as i believe these are a direct port from macosx. i just grow tired of OSXclone desktop's...

I see different color schemes posted on this site for liquid!. i mean come on...anyone can change their color scheme...i just want to see something different...not what macosx icons can i download this week. not whos desktop screenshot can pile on the most icons and show us a transparent kicker + macosx icons + aquawindec

its been done. and done and done a thousand times over.

but dont get me wrong. i love beer BUT if i drink beer and nothing but beer... i get sick of it!and want something different...no wait bad analogy that doesnt happen to me! ;)

but you know what i'm trying to say :)
