I hope we'll see some awesome setups with your preferred window manager, desktop environments, themes, fonts, etc. :cool:

I'll start, Gnome 3 with the Zukitwo shell and the Zukitwo-Resonance GTK theme, the icon theme is faience. I'm also using the infinality patch set for my font rendering.

If anyone can tell me how to use thumbnails as a link, please let me know.

Ubuntu 10.04, Ubuntu font. The rest should be visible, except for Compiz, and Compiz extras.

New wallpaper. Everything else is the same.

Edit:
New pic with brown leaves, and penguins! The color of the leaves has bothered me for awhile, and I finally got around to changing them. I prefer the more muted color.

How do you guys get conky to look so nice? I tried following one of Vin's dumps from some other thread, but my conky ended up looking all messed up and spanned half of the screen :(

Mine's a hacked together mess cobbled from a few sources, including Vin :^D

I did stupid stuff like use spaces instead of proper coding to align things in the panel. I also have a bunch of stuff commented out. Conky takes a lot of time to get what you want, but it can be fairly satisfying. I stopped playing with it for the time being, but I'll likely mess with it again when I see someone with something cool that I like.

Here's mine. Keep in mind, nothing you see here can be considered best practice, and it /may/ not work for you due to my dumb formatting. It'll give you something to play with though. Also, that clock isn't part of Conky. That's a widget from screenlets. I like having an analog clock, and left the space at the top so I could just drop one on there, and I think it look like it belongs :^)

I'll give your stuff a try, maybe it will work a little better for me. I absolutely love your clock though :)

And as far as best practices go... tim toady ;)

Surprisingly, I don't have anything really recent, but here's some shots from the past several years:

And a quick one from today, with Compiz "cube" (2 sides) activated.


I've moved away from Conky, and really all widgets. Just a panel at the top.

Ubuntu 11.10 with Gnome shell 3.2 and Faenza Dark icons. I LOVE Gnome shell and can't believe I hadn't tried it before especially since I loath Unity.

I'm a GS fanboui too (but prefer Unity)! :D

Here's Ubuntu 12.04 with Gnome shell 3.2.1 and ACYL icons.

I went back to the zukitwo shell theme because the faience shell theme has some problems.

I also wonder if you can theme gdm. :hmm:

Currently lightdm in Archlinux is a no go. It obliterates my $PATH variable, no cursor on boot, and it apparently has some security issues. :colbert:

Doh! Sorry it didn't go well for you. I know Arch has a wiki on LightDM, but I didn't pay much attention to it. What security issues did you find?
