    Since the variety of window managers and themes etc. for linux is really broad perhaps a screenshot thread is in order?

    System montior is conky. Using Emerald theme manager.

    Compared to what others have I know its pretty basic, just thought I'd get the ball rolling.

    I too prefer the simple, elegant approach to a desktop, instead of the overloaded and overcrowded mess that you see some people with.

    Using compiz and awn.

    Got a coffee theme at the moment.

    Info in the terminal. I really like those Lila Icons in the file browser.

    I still haven't moved to 4.X, its not really up to scratch for my work needs yet, so 3.5 it is for the time being.

    4.1 is a big improvement over 4.0.

    Running Kubuntu 8.04 recently moved from Ubuntu 8.04.

    I can't get into the compiz/flashy window manger thing so its just plain vanilla KDE 3.5 with conky.

    I've got the cylinder rolling now... I think I prefer the cube but I still thought I'd check it out.

    Nothing very exciting, just a fairly standard Ubuntu 8.04 (1440 X 900 in reality)with Conky and compiz. My terminal is running a little script to download xkcd comics that I wrote.

    How about this rocking desktop:
    66860467463806676171_thumb.png

    Seriously tho - when I'm on my computer I'm not looking at the desktop at all. I usually have Firefox on the left screen and either a console or Eve on the right screen. So I can't be bothered customising the background that I never see.
