Its Gnome
You re right my friend... its gnome desktop... The pair of feet are the manu bar... just with out the label. In your add to panel menu.. there are two types of menu you can add.. this one with out the labels and the original one. As you click this one, it includes the apps, places, and system...

why only 800x600 ? that isn't a whole lot of real estate. Though, I like the dockapps too.

It looks like it's been resized... probably 1024x768 or something. It says it's a server too... I'd imagine you try to keep things clean and minimalist.

1.2ghz isn't that bad. It's no super-computer but some old hardware is still nice. What is it? celeron?? duron??? guessing...

You have got to tell me what style that is for fluxbox!
You mention custom dockapp design - did you do it yourself? If so, how? Can I get a copy of it?
Also, what uptime dock applet are you using? I cant find an uptime docklet exept for wmmisc which shows too much stuff.
Thanks!

i dont recall exactly the style name, its included in the fluxbox install on slack11.
the dockapps i got from http://dockapps.org/ - theyre all the wm*mon style. all i really did was change the colors and the border, which was done by opening the .xpm files in a text editor and changing the color values and the symbols that represent the colors, then compile it. i just ran the compiled binary file from the directory it was compiled in, i didnt install it to the */bin directory anywhere.
this is the uptime applet i used. i wanted each applet to show just what i needed, id rather have a bunch of applets than one thing that shows everything, like gkrellm. just a personal preference, i think it looks better to have a stack of system monitors. for some reason a lot of the applets i tried didnt compile on my machine, on a few of them i had to try different versions until i got one that worked.
i appreciate the interest. i liked the look of it - simple, but different, and it took a lot of unanswered posts until someone was nice enough to tell me to open the .xpm in a text editor rather than an image viewer.
edit - now that i look at it again, the only thing having to do with the fluxbox style is the bar at the bottom. the terminals are two transparent eterm windows that start in that position when fluxbox is started.
