    The Fesity/Gutsy 'Post Your Desktop' Thread

    Show us what you've done with your desktop! Would love to see your customization

    This is my Gutsy Desktop at present, not played with it much yet, still think Beryl is better than compiz fusion at the moment...

    These are the most recent shots I took of my Feisty Desktop (please excuse the poor quality, was using jpg capture):

    That's a beauty -- thanks!

    I was more comfortable and proficient with Beryl -- there's a post of "Bill in a Beryl Box" in the Image Gallery above, from a few months ago. I agree, Compiz is still a little shaky and I'm have some challenges figuring parts of it out. Give me a while, and maybe I'll come up with something worth posting again ...

        Couldn't see any pictures on the first post here. Did a 'quote' to ask why no pics and saw two url's for the pictures but when I cut and pasted the url's into my browser the connection was reset. I'm in China, so it's probably a Chinese firewall issue - I haven't been able to see my flickr pictures for months - but any ideas why your links should be banned?

          Interesting. No, there's nothing morally reprehensible posted on this site (or else I haven't found it yet ). They must just be blocking graphical content on a widespread basis.

            hi, as I am running kubuntu on a compaq presario 1200 from good old window98se days, I dare say that my desktop is not exactly as good as the previous poster's photos but if I could somehow post the sound from the inbuilt speakers, I wonder who has a better laptop sound than I do

            joking apart, those are great photos(thanks for posting then) and kubuntu rocks,

              OK, as I stated before, I would post some pix when I was ready; before I do, however, I need to know how to insert them into the body of my post.

                The simplest way to learn/understand how it's done, is to look at how it was done by someone else. If you look Nooblett's post below, and click on the Quote button you can see the html code that was used.

                      Ok, I know you will just think that flea is testing that Pictiger.com site because it takes bng pictures without one needing to convert them first into jpeg or tif, anyway here is the site and here is the test picture below

                      real sorry this is not my compaq persario 1200, but my other computer, a dell inspiron 2650 which isn't yet a classic laptop in my view
