There, I just took that screenshot about 120 seconds ago. It's
a minimal gnome desktop on an updated Ubuntu 6.0.6 box. Fonts
have been fixed by five minutes of system tweaking, gnome theme
downloaded through the included and pre-configured art-manager
in Gnome, installed automatically.
The mp3 player is the beep media player, which is the next-to
latest in the stillborn line of xmms rips. Its pretty nice
though.
The movie player, playing an avi of serenity is Totem with just
about every codec and plug in that exists--again, downloaded
and installed automagically with the Ubuntu software update tool.
Of course, the irc client is XChat and the terminals are
transparent gnome-terms with the high-ascii version of monospace-
8 running. The system font you're looking at is veranda, ripped
directly off the a utility CD in Microsoft's software
subscription pack. You could also rip it out of a windows
partition, or off a windows install cd.
There, gnome isn't half bad looking, the fonts are smooth and
pretty, and half of y'all are fulla shit.
And before you even start complaining about all the gtk errors
over there in the terminal to the right, they're my fault--I'm
building an application for personal use and made a typo, and
was too lazy to stick a tin compile or something nice looking
into that terminal.
