That was kde-3.1 beta-1, and this is kde-3.1 beta-2. I have some dropline-gnome screenshots as well.

It is xearth http://linux.tucows.com/x11html/preview/10206.html
I had some trouble compiling it a couple of month ago, but later when I read through INSTALL files I found what I needed to change in Makefile (the libs paths had to be added) I was able to compile it, it takes some resources off your system, so I am not using it anymore, but it was nice anyway
Also check wmglobe and xglobe. They can be easily located through http://www.google.com/linux

ahhhh, thanks a lot neo77777!,

Hey, I think G2 is pretty cool. But you obviously need to pimp it up if you want it to look sleek,
most defaults by kde or gnome look like MasterC said, kinder garden desktops, heheh.

You are welcome
If you need assistance compiling the *globes you know where to ask , I believe there are RPM's available for xglobe and wmglobe, as far as xearth is going it was designed with Solaris in mind, and it was ported to mandrake - you can get mandy's RPM's; OTOH, source packages are a little confusing, you have to actually get your hands wet editing Makfiles, but it is fun anyway. As far as kindergarden desktop going, well, I am no fan of either Gnome or KDE, I like simplicity and configurability (is there such a word???)

Druaga, in your screenshot in the lower-left corner, it says "afternoon". How did you get that to do that? And what is it, I am thinking it's the clock applet gone crazy, but I really don't know. That's pretty cool though

Nice shots everyone

Cool

Damn, I think I said left because I was thinking mirror image

Yeah, that sounds like a good enough excuse anyway

Thanks for the clarification Z Oh, and it's Guiness, not Vodka

Cool

That's just GTkrellum with a couple of the cooler plugins, isn't it?

What I want to know is what's that media player skin down there? Or is that not xmms at all?

Cheers,

Finegan
