Eat your heart out MacOS AND Vista :P :P :P
 

Hah, if that doesnt make people drool, they are fan boys. True accelerated desktop, along with true transparencies, fading menus, drop shadows. All controllable, all free. Linux > *

:) Thought you guys would like that.

errrr, what's your point??

I don't like that at all, actually... :o

Very slick!

it's very square... besides the transparency, it looks old.

I like it. Though its got that old Windows beige-window color, it looks pretty nice. I like some of the Linuxes, and thought about installing Ubuntu on my Mac, but it doesnt have the HDD space for another OS right now…

I guess it must be the first time this guy say linux. Many n00bs are impressed with the transparencies the first time they see them.

Can't this whole look be done with Litestep? I remember using Litestep for quite some time during my Windows9x days. Sorry Robyr, aside from the transparency, the whole thing is old news to me ;)

It can be done with black Box, all but the transparencies. I had it set up, but found it too slow to use for anything more than fun. check out my screen shot. http://www.1src.com/forums/showthre...42&page=1&pp=15
can linux do 3D? :D


p.s. I am sure that it can.

For the people who ***** about it looking old: its called minimalist. Also, no, i have used linux for ~7 years. And no, pretty much nothing other than linux can do a true accelerated desktop like that. Linux did this before MacOS, and, for the record. LiteStep can NOT do any of that LMAO.

Interesting finger print issue though ;) got a link to that?

Not at the moment. but ill look up the logs.

Umm, my Windows XP can do that as well and much better than that ;) :p

ahem, thats not accelerated desktop lmao.

(ill go as far as to say thats pretty nasty looking, actually. way to much going on)

And yours is not NVidia Desktop. Mine just looks more complex :). The multitude of things going on is to show off the transparency effect through Nvidia Desktop and Windows. :) You can't just show a few little things and saw you have the best transparency ever. I've shown off my transparency way more than you have. Step up your game :)
