Most of us are very touchy and meticulous about how our desktops look like. Why don't we start posting in a screen shot of our desktops here? Here is mine for the starters. It's my windows XP SP2 with a mac theme.

I wish to provide a screenshot of my desktop but don't have the option to do so. I think my lot wont allow users to upload pics unless one reach 500 posts. I till got to go a long way to reach there. Once reached I would upload mine.


myLot reputation of 91/100. swaroop_sv2003 (398)  3 years ago

BTW good screenshot. Just curious, how did you manage to get the top bar or did I mistake something else for a top bar?


suchand (86)   ranked 419 out of 3,437 in computers  3 years ago

The top bar is a free application called uptimer, which will show you the system status uptime and a lot more things, which can be added as modules. I can give you more details if you are interested. It's a windows only application;)

BTW, you can upload photos to your mylot images account and paste in the link here.


myLot reputation of 91/100. swaroop_sv2003 (398)  3 years ago

Suchand by now you might have understood that I am not a windows user. Years back I tried to make my windows system look like Mac but never was able to create the complete look, thats why I asked how you created the top bar. Thanks for the information. But now I was able to bring that look on Linux. Now my desktop looks more sexy. I will add my desktop (Linux) screenshot tomorrow. Thanks for pointing me to the photo uploading facility. Never tried it before, even though I have been a user at mylot for months:D

Giving your windows a MAC look is pretty simple now a days as there are many theming engines available, like styleXP, windows blinds etc etc.

The easiest and completely free way is to use third party ready made themes like flyakite.

You can get it> www.osx-e.com/downloads/m...


myLot reputation of 91/100. swaroop_sv2003 (398)  3 years ago

I have tried the first two softwares but was not much impressed with it.haven't tried the third one. Will try that soon. Anyway check out my screenshot . It is not to make it look like MAC even though it do have some features like MAC. It is a KDE desktop on opensuse 10.3. I think it looks cool.I will transform it completely to have a MAC look and will post the screenshot here. Do provide your feedbacks:)

Hi swaroop,

That's a nice screen shot .It is clear that it's a KDE.:) It looks very pleasant.


suchand (86)   ranked 419 out of 3,437 in computers  3 years ago

Here is a screenshot from my ubuntu 7.04. Not that clear BTW.

At the moment, my desktop sucks...lol
Wonderful your Mac Theme.. but do you have only the Theme,
or do you have a Mac Interface for WinXp?

Where can I find that Theme/Interface?


myLot reputation of 91/100. swaroop_sv2003 (398)  3 years ago

Suchand thats cool. I think you got compiz enabled to make it transparent.


suchand (86)   ranked 419 out of 3,437 in computers  3 years ago

Nufan,
I have a few themes along with the mac one, but I generally use this one as its very pleasant and neat. There are a variety of themes available on the net. With uxtheme patch you can apply a lot of themes to your windows XP. Or else you should get some theming engines, like style XP/ window blinds etc.

You can get UXtheme patch with a few bundled themes here> http://www.softpedia.com/... ...


suchand (86)   ranked 419 out of 3,437 in computers  3 years ago

Swaroop, you guessed it right . I have compiz + beryl installed and it works perfectly well with my intel graphics card.

The terminal transparency anyway do not need compiz or beryl. You can set that in any normal gnome terminal.


myLot reputation of 91/100. swaroop_sv2003 (398)  3 years ago

Check out these screenshots. I have made my KDE to look similar to MAC OS.

Swaroop,
Fantastic screenshots. It look very much like a MAC. And yes of course Amarok is the best audio player in linux.

I think it best if I don't take a screenshot of my desktop until I tidy it up a bit. But just to give you an idea I'll post a picture of my keyboard - really must get the lawnmower out soon lol


overgrown?

Here's is mine, nothing cool, just a simple desktop for win 2k and nothing else and this is how i like my desktop most of the time rather than having a fancy desktop like everyone's been having.


suchand (86)   ranked 419 out of 3,437 in computers  3 years ago

Milott,

I think you forgot to post in your screen shot link.
