Hello everybody
I know this is probably a very large request but sometimes I see some impressive screenshots and I can never quite reproduce them (or even compose a cool desktop of my own!) so here goes:
Which Desktop Candy programs / scripts are you aware of and what do they do ?
The only things I know of are:
Compiz and/or Beryl (I use the latter)
gDesklets (which I unfortunately think is rather dull, I can't find any good desklets and many seem buggy)
SuperKaramba -KDE based Desklets.. Seems rather nice
Torsmo -
http://torsmo.sourceforge.net/ -- Text-based system monitor, looks awfully cool if you ask me
Conky - Lightweight text-based system monitor originally a fork of Torsmo, even better than Torsmo it would seem
And I seem to be able to find a few ways where one can stick a terminal on one's background, a concept which I like a lot
But that's it.. Now.. I usually use Gnome but I'm tinkering with the idea of using Fluxbox instead as I wouldn't shy from getting a more *nix-like desktop (I don't know, but Fluxbox seems more unique to *nix than KDE or Gnome)
However, please reply with whatever desktop candy programs you happen to like, regardless of dependencies or WM-defaults (just be sure to state if it's for a single WM)
Oh, and if anyone know some interesting menus that would be cool too
Oh, and as an extention.. When I go to look for themes I usually use kde-look.org, gnome-look.org and so.. There's even a few sections at deviantart with some themes whereas freshmeat seems to have themes for every WM.. Where do
you go ?
