Rules:

1. Keep file size small if you upload your picture to physicsforums
2. Use compression like jpeg or png
3. No wallpapers with nudity
4. If possible, list which styles/themes you used

---------------------------------------------

Here is my current desktop:

http://umsis.miami.edu/~dduardo/desktop.png

Window Manager: Fluxbox 0.9.10-r3
Style: Milky (I modified the oringal style because I didn't like how the toolbar looked)
Wallpaper: Cubism Milk (I modified the original wallpaper to remove the text that said Cubism Milk)
XMMS: Plastik

I'm also using the new composite engine in X.org to render the shadows.

What can I say, I'm a minimalist and I like Motif. :smile:

Sheesh.

Too much nudity on mine. :biggrin:
 
Graphic7, this is exactly why I stopped creating this thread. There wasn't much interest.
