jadeclaw Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 Changed the distribution, it is Ubuntu now.changed the DesktopManager as well, Gnome is easier to configurate and has some nice add-ons as well.And since Ubuntu has african roots, it is only natural, that a proud lion guards the desktop.

Christopher Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Looks good, theblueraja.Tartan, your wallpapers are amusing -- I'm not really sure what to say about them. I like the treehouse though, and I always toyed with the idea that if I became a millionare I would have some elaborate tree fort for my kids.

tartan Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 on an extra notehow to get extra stuffing like memory, free disc space, spare processor, weather and other stuff that always changes onto the wallpaper instead of it being a still picture all the time ?????and how to make micro$oft windows not look like windows ???????~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~the cubby house was twice as tall as in the picture, it was only shrunken to fit in the picture and the squat building behind and beside the cubby house was the cat maze "the catacomb", the two buildings were never side by side as the catacomb was made of the cubby house materials after cubby house demolition happened, also had great fun breaking apart the brown welded steel lengths of fence with brute force so the plumber can't take it to fence his pool, the plumber was real disappointed when he came to collect the fence only to find it twisted apart into small pieces and the bars used for the catacomb's windows and marble tracks, it all ended in 1998 when while overseas one parent got a dumpster to remove all the goodies leaving only the bricks which were useless on there ownno need to be a millionaire to get a treehouse, just go to any construction site waste dumpster and collect wood and material from there, the only things to buy are nails, screws and anything that can't easily be found in construction site dumpsters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weather and battery widgets are done with Konfabulator (you can now download the program with widgets for free via Yahoo).

The Rule Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 (edited) I bought "Object Desktop" for 50 bucks (Which can be found Here, gave me all kinds of programs to make my Desktop look nice. I was kind of afraid to try to employ all those programs at first because I had a really bad experiance with StyleXP...but it all turned out okay lol.I'll just break down all that stuff on my Desktop down real quick:Calender, Weather, Album Art, "Now Playing" text bar = KonfabulatorOversized Icons = IconXWindows XP Theme (Don't remember the exact name) = Windowblinds 5 Beta (Beta only available with Purchase of ObjectDesktop at the moment)Cursor = CursorXPAnd I can't remember where I got that Firefox theme, I just happen to see it one day and it matched my Desktop so I grabbed it.And that's really about it...

atrain Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 what's the mem usage of all that running rule? does the effects slowdown when you're multi-tasking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rule Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 (edited) Surprisingly, no it doesn't really slow down my PC at all.I can multitask with really no problem (although my PC is more for Music and Movies and such then any kind of real work )... I honestly don't see much of a difference from when I had just the regular XP Theme to what I use now (But I'm not exactly the most Computer-Literate guy either, so I could be missing something)...the only thing that really seems to slow my PC down is iTunes for some reason, without iTunes my Memory is around the high 30's...with it playing it jumps to the mid-high 60's.
