Nicely done dawnsboy!

Nothing special here, just VL 5.8 Standard, Xfce 4.4.0.  It works for me, though

Is that fbpanel on the bottom?  Nice wallpaper.

[caitlyn]

Nope, that's a regular Xfce panel (I have two, top and bottom) centered in the style of older Xfce releases.

If you've installed fluxbox you have that wallpaper

Thanks.  I have redone the GUI login (almost complete) to look like the Windows Vista Home Basic default login screen.  I'd post it too (just 'cause I'm so darn tickled by the looks I get at public hotspots) but I don't know how to take a screenshot of the GUI login screen just yet.

It is interesting to see how many different looks VL users can give to the same OS!

[caitlyn]

Here is a very different one of mine:

PekWM (minimalist window manager), pretty background (Lake Paltanen), fbpanel, xcdroast, Xfce Terminal:



Both PekWM and fbpanel are in the testing repository.  Note that fbpanel has a Vector Linux icon for the menu, a minor customization I did when I packaged that.  PekWM in the repository is also Vectorized, though I obviously changed the background from the standard VL Blue Rays on my system.

Here is a screenie of SOHO-5.8 + Gnome + Compiz-fusion

[|nic|]

Nice Sreenie MOE-lnx !!  are gnome and compiz-fusion working fine on VL?

[M0E-lnx]

working flawlessly

But I should probabbly add that I did upgrade the toolchain in 5.8 to get a fully functional Compiz-fusion build.
Compiz-fusion requires glib >= 2.4

But it does work great

Nice to hear that someone else is/was found of the old style XFCE when it looked more like CDE.

Now it reminds me too much of Gnome / OSX which just doesn't seem to work for me as well as Kde, Flux, etc.

Thanks for the old school mention.

Indeed, looks like your efforts are giving some results. That looks incredible, congratulations!

Damn, I hated compiz for its dnome dependencies!! And now tht beryl and compiz are merging, we all would have to install gnome to run it? Not good...

playing chrono cross on psx- a playstation emulator which got ported for linux recently and it is rock solid.
Whats good about this emulator is that it doesnt need any settings. It doesnt use plugins, and it is compatible with almost all the games (if not all ) out there.




chrono cross is probably the game with best graphic design and music that i have ever seen (and i've seen lots of rpg games,believe me..) If you are interested in this game, check these:

The iso files are avaiable at (im not gonna give a direct link,but hint for google) emuparadise's tracker.Same goes for bios.
If you want to have good sound in the emulator,you should set the sound settings' latency and XA latency to a higher level (mine is 63 and xa- 42) and the sound is great. Also turn on frame skipping at graphics.

@ BM, actually, compiz-fusion is not at all more gnome-dependant than beryl is...

I just installed GNOME because I like the dang thing

but fusion is not gnome dependant... just requires new toolchain... glibc and gcc

here are some more screenies

The expo Plugin... really kool


And of course, Atlantis
