What does your desktop look like?

I just switched to Xfce recently. I'm really impressed with it and for me personally, it seems to be a happy combination of Fluxbox and Gnome. Check it out if you're looking for a new desktop with nice familiar apps but without the bloat! (Install from experimental to get the latest version, 4.4).

My current BlackBox desktop. It's nothing fancy, but I like it.

Thank you. I put a lot of work and effort into it. Now you know why I get all of the girls. I put just as much effort into getting them as I did into this desktop. Hey, wait a minute. That explains why I don't get the girls. Hmmm... Effort, huh? Interesting concept.

Yeah, thanks for the kind words. I disabled the BlacKBox taskbar because it's not very functional in my opinion and it's a bit ugly. I was going to put gkrellm in the slit, but it really uses up too much precious screen real estate. So I settled for what I showed in the link above. It's clean and functional. Right, middle and left clicks give me everything I need on a desktop. What more could a Debian user want?

Scotti has played some Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney

Btw, Scotti, how did you get XFCE to have a menu like that? I mean that menu which looks like in Fluxbox if you right-click on the desktop.. because last time I tried XFCE it was just like GNOME and KDE and had a start-menu approach.

So you're saying that you have no desktop?

Scotti;

Could you give me the link for your XFCE.

I don't go for cool, Thamarok. I go for functionality. I want something that works and leaves me plenty of CPU cycles to play with. If I wanted to waste CPU cycles on eye candy, I could probably come up with something. So where's your uber cool desktop?
