Wondering how you can get the pretty desktop you see in all my screenshots? Here is how I assemblede this fresh, blue theme.
- Install Compiz-Fusion
- Go to theme settings and set the theme to "Glossy"
- Download and install this icon theme
- Download this wallpaper
- Install Avant Window Navigator
- Delete the bottom panel. configure awn how you like, I added the trashbar applet, workspaces applet, and changed the colors to match the blue theme a bit.
- Download this image
- Right click on the top panel and select properties. Go to the background tab and select background image and select the image above.
- Profit!

Hey Mike,
Tried your cool looks. They were really awesome, just like the OS itself. However, I have lots of problems with the audio!
I have been using Ubuntu 7.04 from quite some time, but am facing certain problems.
1) Audio: I have an AMD X2 with Asus Motherboard and on-board Nvidia chipset. The audio is just not fine. A high frequency tone is heard every time I play a sound, even at the Ubuntu startup. I tried downloading the latest Alsa and the Alsa for Nforce, both of which served no purpose. That apart, my Alsamixer crashes pretty often!
2) Beryl: I have problems with the multiple desktops on Beryl. It shows the other desktops as black screens, i.e. they are not recognised.
3) Wine: Wine just doesn't seem to work, no matter what I do!
Any Solutions?
what is the problem with wine? A good test for that would be to run these commands
sudo apt-get install wine
-That installs wine, just to be sure
wget http://mpgarate.googlepages.com/ski32.exe
-that downloads the classic game ski free for windows
wine ski32.exe
I don't know too much about troubleshooting sound, or beryl. I don't use bery; I use compiz-fusion. I would suggest posting both of those problems in ubuntuforums.org.
thanks alot :)
it's really great!!!!!!
hey mike, I was rather curious as to what video capture program you used to make the video. I have yet to find one that works as well as the one you used, [vnc based capture?]
-cheers
