cool desktops,, :)
i like no 10 better,, how to make it ?

I’m impressed, I have to say. Actually not often do I encounter a weblog that’s both educative and entertaining, and let me inform you, you may have hit the nail on the head. Your thought is excellent; the difficulty is one thing that not enough persons are speaking intelligently about. I’m very completely happy that I stumbled across this in my seek for something referring to this.

how do we get number 12? i really like it :D

How do we get the menubar in number 4?

hello everybody
i'm phoenix
n i used 2 work upon redhat enterprise linux and below is the link to my gnome desktop pic
"http://i34.tinypic.com/warsrs.png"

how would i go about making mine like #12? im on linux ubuntu 10.4. i know this thread is old, but that theme is what convinced me to do linux

hey i now this is old, but wich enviroment is # 10? and how to make number 10?

i am a unix user... just kidding, i recently got mac osx 10.5.6 working on my toshiba satellite m105-s3011, and i have done a great job tweaking it, i love the way it looks, im going to take an screenshot to show yall

Hey, what's the name of #2?

SO BEAUTIFUL

Hey, been recycling curbside donations of Macs, x86 systems, to school kids, friends, strangers, since 1997, with GNU/Linux Distros and the *BSDs that share Gnome, KDE, and lots of other windows managers.

Huge user choices are what makes GNU/Linux and the *BSDs so much better than what Microsoft or Macintosh sell!

Check out kde-look.org or gnome-look.org

Yeah,i think they are very good.but i believe that the linux OS could be more beautiful.

I don't know why a lot of this desktops try to emulate mac. For me, the most impresive desktop was #10, it's something you don't see everyday, most of the rest are pure mac copies with the dock, the HDs at the left of the screen, the upper toolbar with the apple icon, customize menus, etc...

It's called Gnome-Do and you can find it at http://do.davebsd.com/ and it also comes pre-installed with Linux Mint.

Does anyone know what the QuickSilver like launcher in #2 is?

@KSIIMSON: So lets see it then...

Heh, my KDE 4 desktop looks better than most of these here.

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=906733 has some good screenshots... They have a screenshot thread each month. Some of the best ones include enlightenment, openbox, IceWM and xfce4 (in my opinion). I haven't tried enlightenment yet, but a lot of people like it.

Here is a link to my desktop screenshot::

I use Ubuntu! It will one day conquer windows!

The desktop is mostly the wallpaper and as far as I am concerned mine are better...anyone can find nice wallpapers including windoz users at www.kde-look.org and of course its all free...
I have seven Linux,s and the only desktop wallpaper I kept was Fedora 6 (double helix) and Fedora 7 (balloons) ...

#7 is either Linux Tiger or DreamLinux. Both of which I have been really into lately. Actually any and ALL distros that look like OSX, those 2 are the best by default

#11 and #14 can be also seen in:

http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/shots.xml

they have been awarded as 1st and 4th best looking Gentoo desktops in a not-so-recent contest...
All credits go to Bartek and Alexander as I can read. I wish this may be of help in getting in touch with them and, maybe?, asking help to get the same effect on your desktops ;)

Hi there!

You have selected some beautiful pieces here ;)

Some of them I've already seen on this previous top list:
http://www.linuxhaxor.net/2008/05/17/10-most-beaut...

...I wonder: is it a good thing or does this mean a lot of users with wonderful desktops are hiding their creatures? The saddest part is that neither you nor the author of the other top-list have been able to retrieve instructions or addition infos about these desktops... #10 looks wonderful for a child and I'd love to put that on the eeepc of my little sister...

Any chance you publish at least the name/credits of the Flickr users you've taken the pictures from?

Thank you ;)

Some of those are really nice. I'm building my first Linux Machine right now. I love this Post! Great Job!

Great list. Thanks Kartik - loved each one.

Bummer...you left mine out >> http://www.flickr.com/photos/flipplenicker/2622473...

Still a nice set you have here!

hey i would like to know more about this linux OS and i would like to know which one i should download if i could get a link or something that would help me out a lot thanks

If I'm reading the numbers right, #6 would be my favorite, simply because they have Songbird installed :)

In all honesty though, that's a nice looking desktop.

I would be interested in the links from 4,5,6,7,13 (where 13 is alreaddy been answered...lucky number 13...?).

@Eddie, It'd be a nice idea to have all the links related to these guys, but as Karthik said, it's nearly impossible. Although, you can find some really nice linux screenshots at deviantart.

@Steve, I believe #7 was created following this tutorial:
http://maketecheasier.com/turn-your-ubuntu-hardy-t...

Very nice post indeed. Maybe, when you try to create another one, you might search through the customization section of www.deviantart.com. In there, guys usually link their themes and window managers.

@Steve, don't think so. Compiz fusion or something like that.

#7 is a Mac OSX?

#13 is enlightenment which is still a beta. It looks to be basically one of the built in themes with a few minor modifications.
http://www.enlightenment.org/

Just this morning i turned my Linux box (KDE3.something) into a Hackintosh. If i don`t like Leopard that much i will instantly remedy
the situation with KDE 4.1

@Eddie, I'd have loved to, but I have found these screenshots on Flickr, with no roots back to its origin, which makes it nearly impossible to get some more information..

I would be nice if you could give use some more information, for instance the name of the desktop, distribution, user, etc. So we can find our way back and make a similar one on our own...?

I think I also have a nice desktop with screenlets.
