Maah! Desktop

With GNU/Linux systems you can have a highly customizable desktop with no bounds to possibilities. I have discussed few techniques for a nerdy looking environment in my Feeling Geeky... post earlier. Well this one is just a snapshot preview kinda thing... concentrating mainly on the eye candy stuffs..

Distro : Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04
Desktop Environment : GNOME
Window Manager : Metacity/Compiz-Fusion/Fluxbox


Neat		Dirty

I have used Mac4Lin Themes/Skins by Anirudh

Compiz Fusion :


Cube Effect		Window Decoration		Shift Switcher

Random Shots:


Emulators		Gimp

Python Programming		Fluxbox

Build your own desktop, use this links :
