Pretty kickass.

However, I could never get that liquid weather deal to work properly with super karamba....

Everythign is a Gdesklet except for the system stats thing. The weather thing at the top is a Gdesklet not a superkaramba theme ;-)

Imek, you wouldn't mind sharing your torsmo config would you?

Thankyou kindly...

I actually have an AMD 64 too, but I just like the way you have the whole thing layed out. I don't display so much information, but thanks all the same. It's appreciated.

Wow, that is easily the best configuration of torsmo I have seen. Did not know it could look that good and be so functional!!

My latest screenshot...

http://breaker.symclan.co.uk/breakerfall/screenie.jpg

I have Torsmo installed, but when I originally installed it, I hacked the source file so it only displayed the window on one desktop rather than all virtual desktops, so it's on another screen. I'm running XFCE4.06 with both the panel and status bar on auto hide. XMMS is controlled with my gamecube controller too.

I'm really liking that PyPanel... I'm thinking of using that instead of XFCEs taskbar when I redo this system. Looks really nice. Cool screeny.
