Please make me happy, tell me what program/script is this!
Hi Cron, the program is called Torsmo.
If you're compiling from source make sure you ./configure --enable-xft if you want antialiased fonts.
This is my latest one. It's FreeBSD 4.10 with Gnome. I'm trying to make this looks as much as possible the OSX, which I'd love to afford (Perhaps a mini Mac someday ). It's still quite simple, so far.

Thanks halo14. Nope, I'm not using anything special, just the ordinary gnome stuff. The bar is actually a trick. Instead of a transparent background, I'm using a background image on the bar that matches the background . Icons, wallpapers and aqua theme were downloaded from gnome-look.org .

The engage bar built on the new enlightenment e17 libs is pretty sweet. I'm not sure how hard it is to configure with another wm, but I've seen screenshots of it working on things other than Enlightenment. I tried and got it partially working. I didn't have the time to invest to get it configured how I wanted it, but the action was suuuuuper smooth. Check out the enlightenment site for more info: http://enlightenment.org/pages/engage.html
And since this is the screenshot thread, here's one of my windowmaker shenanigans...hacked the workspace mousewheeling to reverse it and went a little loony with the dockapps Other than that, it's pretty much just plain ol' wmaker. http://www.thescabs.net/shite/wm1.png
Thanks a lot kersten78! I never heard of that project before, looks really sweet and I need some application like that to minimize my applications, since I took off the gnome applet for it to look like my desktop looks like
P.S: loved your wallpaper. What resolution are you using with WindowMaker? I'm a fan of WM, but I never could get nice fonts with anything higher then 800x600
I'm using 1280x1024 resolution. I didn't have any problems with fonts...it seemed to work pretty much right out of the box. The only fonts I've installed were the artwiz fonts. All the other ones are pretty much standard. That's weird that you have problems at higher resolutions.
