I don't think that they can handle some pro desktops from a lot of users from here, but if you are willing to participate, there you go. Make all that guys to be ashamed of their desktops.

I don't think either. A better choice would be Deskshots. Idea coined by me, all the work done by a friend (blackbox developer).

Isn't this from like AGES ago, or have they asked again?
I remember they did this, and We want to see your Firefox too. Maybe some others. I forget.

Nah, they just put that up Friday. You are thinking of the Firefox and Other Browers shots, et cetera. Of course they could have done that a REALLY long time ago too.

lol

btw:
Have a look at the comments!
It seems to be a pseudo hacker blog. Most of them don't know about the windows standard Prnt Screen Feature.
They even suggest tools to take screenshots of desks you have to pay for. hahackerhaha

Okay I actually screamed out of sheer horror when I saw that desktop.

For a moment I considered sending in Sophistication. But now eh, I've got better things to waste my time on. The browsing bothers me, 'cause I don't even see where I would submit it.

If they wanted to someone could write a little ticker program, pulling info from a billion places. Unless they've got a samurize for that.

His desktop doesn't look very nice..... maybe they were looking for desktops that had all these trackers and widgets and not a minimal style approach,

even 2005 were much better desks created

that desktop shows nothing from the VS, only tons of widgets and ugly docks and they don't match at all.

All I can say is that I am a noob, and even I have better taste than that pile of crap. Heck, I think that might be giving it too much credit.

Welcome to linux design hell. That's why lyrae is the saving grace to this well-constructed but poorly designed (aesthetically speaking) os. Theres alot of gold in 'dem hills as far as customization, but sadly they (contributing "designers" ) slap a ubuntu logo on a great wall, then submit it to gnome.look.org. That's why I hang here!
