Let's see those desktops (rev 4.0)

[Evolution.]

I love thirteen-year-olds.

IIRC, that's illegal.

And I guess EarthDesk doesn't take up too much RAM. It was NOD32 scanning in the background that was slowing me down.

@Du?k:
Xplanet takes 10MB. Not 75MB.

I'm talking about EarthDesk, not Xplanet. And it takes up 75MB of RAM because my system is saying it is.

I don't think he was telling you what EarthDesk takes up, so much as he was telling you that XPlanet does the same but takes up less.

I just can't get my weather gadget to work, it keeps resetting its location to somewhere in Norway.

The 'Vette wasn't doing it for me.​

I get this:

Copy the link and open it in a new window.

Copy the link and open it in a new window.

Still doesn't work.

 

[dougiemeats]

It didn't work when I clicked it, but I opened it in a new tab and it worked.

Hope that helps.

Nice zoxxy. What did you use for the dock?

It's all standard Gnome. I just centered the icons and made the taskbar transparent. I tried to set up XGL, but it screwed up Xorg. So I'll stay put for a while.

Interesting thread.

I am a fan of using astronomic photos as desktops. You can get some great ultra high definition images off NASA's JPL Photo Database.

One of my current favorites is the image of a comet being broken apart by a white dwarf (G29-38) which was captured by the Spitzer Space Telescope's infrared spectrometer (Image PIA03652 and then illustrated:

(resized from original 3000x2400 image)​

You can also get some great pics from www.hubblesite.org - which has some great shots of the coliding twin Antennae galaxies (NGC 4038/4039) located 63 million light-years away in the southern constellation Corvus.

(which means, besides having their countless solar systems broken apart by the colision, if they could see the earth, they'd be looking at a whole lot of Dinosaurs enjoying their last meal so-to-speak.)


Hubble recently took new pics of the Antennae galaxies, the following is one that would make a great desktop if you cropped the bottom:
