I have delinked the URL and pointed out that it's potentially NSFW. If anyone else uses similar shots, that would be the best way to deal with them - hopefully no one will get told off at work, school or church!

Obviously, and this should go without saying, this is not permission for porn desktops to start appearing.

Nice, however I think it qualifies as art and not pron.

How is that an "earthy" color scheme? It just looks like the standard Ubuntu "purple-n-black" look to me...

It could also be your monitor. To me it is light to dark PURPLE. No brown or gray.

I don't know why but for some reason I've never liked docky. I guess it's too windows vista like and I just hate that, would that make me a man with prejudices ?

That's Avant Window Navigator, not Docky.

Anyway, I tried to use a dock to see it it was better, and I hated it. The way the application launchers and other aplets look the same and are not separated was very confusing and cluttered-looking, the fact that if there were multiple instances of one app you had to click and then click again to choose it from the menu was difficult, and I only want to see the ones on my current desktop (come on, isn't that what multiple desktops are for?).

Also, I was annoyed by the fact that it required compositing.

In the end, I think that a good, easy to navigate apps menu, plus this application (written by me!), plus a taskbar showing open windows on the current desktop is much better.

It IS the default Ubuntu 10.10 Ambiance theme and default background. It has been darkened a little bit because I enabled the Compiz "Transparent Cube" plugin (if you look closely at the top left/right, you can see the transparent cube in the background).

Man, I wish I knew how to use Blender... I have it, but hardly touch it. The UI is just too daunting for me.

That's impressive, though!

blender?
LOL

GIMP

it was easy and I dont even know how to use it?
I just found a cool wallpaper
found a ARCH icon that was blueish,
went to this site to make the "buildit!" logo
http://cooltext.com/

I opened the arch 128x128 icon with gimp
inverted the color
saved it

opened the original wallpaper
used tools/rectangle selection to make a rectangular box

opened the cool text logo I made
did tools/rectangle-select around it
right-clicked on it and chose "copy"

back at orig wallpaper I right-clicked in previous selected rectangle area and did "paste"

opened the arch icon again and did same thing as above

idk
