On the left is the Unity bar and on the right is Conky.

Conky is extremely customizable and flexible, intimidatingly so. There is a thread here with several configuration scripts people have put together, the one I am using is in there somewhere.

SUroot · August 10th, 2011, 09:50 AM

Thanks, I did find out about Conky yesterday but the off-the-shelf look made me unsure if it was the same. I'll check out that thread!

Conky is my drug. I've already posted this pic but check this screenshot out. It's actually about 14 individual config files that I initialize with a shell script on start up.

SUroot · August 11th, 2011, 04:28 AM

hahaha. That looks awesome.

11.04 Alpha 3? You're not still running that are you?

A question about Conky (that's what you are displaying there right?). Can it be configured to show only specified reports? I'm normally not interested in monitoring processes on the deskltop, but would love to have the weather, time and calendar up all the time. I run a low power right so running multiple widgets is not a proper solution. conky configured this way would be great though. Any thoughts?

Below is my current Desktop (Linux Mint 11). I would love to have docky running on the right of the screen as decribed above.

SUroot · August 19th, 2011, 01:32 AM

No the alpha 3 is just coded in the script and I didn't remove it. It is 11.04 though.

Conky is very configurable. I don't know how to do what you want but surely if you know how to write scripts, it would be possible?

DaSchmarotzer · August 19th, 2011, 07:35 PM

Windows 7 + rainmeter. It's subtle but there are notes and system settings to the right.

The Photoshop, Word, Notepad, CCleaner and uTorrent icons are clickable, thanks to rainmeter.

ToastPwnz · August 19th, 2011, 11:38 PM

Back with a new wallpaper after the HD in my Mac died. Took it apart, put a 2TB drive in there and I'm back up and running.

WormDoes · August 26th, 2011, 08:53 PM

My love for Minimal Android has carried over to my PC

johnlgalt · August 30th, 2011, 01:03 AM

After the rebuild, I could not find appropriately sized images that I had before.

So, I submit to you my new one - GT-R Cobra.

ToastPwnz · September 26th, 2011, 07:27 PM

Finally got around to doing something with Rainmeter. Not a bad first attempt in my opinion.

Details are here.

johnlgalt · December 27th, 2011, 07:53 PM

OK, so it was time for some new images....

Here's my desktop, layout may appear a bit odd at first glance, but it's a triple display setup, and I keep the center display desktop completely empty as my primary workspace, and the taskbar runs down the left side of my right display.

The wallpaper is a portion of the Orion Nebula image taken by the Hubble telescope.

Mageia 1 with Openbox, Audacious, Tint2 panel, and conky, which I can never find the right one to use.

Broken image?

DaSchmarotzer · March 22nd, 2012, 08:29 PM

I thought I'd bump this: I love seeing new desktops.

Here's mine at the moment: it looks a lot like the previous one.

PS: How about I stick this thread to the top? There's only one sticky right now. I'm up for suggestions.

NightAngel79 · March 23rd, 2012, 08:43 AM

Thumbs up on the sticky!

And what program did you use to change your start orb? I tried and failed to do it long time ago (was trying to turn it into the death star, lol)

Mada · March 23rd, 2012, 07:11 PM

Sure why not on the sticky. If Phases or someone else important doesn't like it, it can always be removed, right?

Here's mine:

Quite easy with this utility.

Great website for Windows customization.

I like my start 'orb' =P

Much the same except wallpaper

Your IE icon doesn't seem smooth at all, what's up with that? Your start 'orb' is nice though.

@ Android Forums - View Profile: xBabyfaceKingx - I like what you've done there. I need to get around to customizing my W7 desktop right before Win 8 drops lol...I might be stealing some of your ideas there....

@ Android Forums - View Profile: IOWA - lol - Great 'orb'! I think I need to get an ICS-themed Andy, eh?

As for your IE icon - tell DaS that the icons' smooth factor is proportional to their apps' usability :P

@ Android Forums - View Profile: wetbiker7 - Holy smokes, I like that WP - where did you get it?

I finally found the original images I had before - I'm addicted to these GT-R images, these two in particular, even if they are the original-gen GT-Rs from '08....

Desktop_current.JPG

Anyone know if I can configure rainmeter to show me display info in weird and crazy places (I was thinking using a slanted font on the windshield so that it would be like a reverse HUD, including taking into account the angle and curvature of the windshield to show one particular item, possible the weather)?

Also, does Rainmeter allow for multiple monitor configuration, so that some stuff shows on one and other stuff shows on the second? If so, I'm thinking I can make this desktop a real bad setup with the info that I want showing....

STL_Sean · April 30th, 2012, 11:07 AM

I like my left screen turned 90° for me Email, spread sheets and document editing. The left screen of my PC is also the right screen of my Mac and use it to hold all my tools and layers when in Adobe programs.
