    A cool take on kubuntu.

    I saw this post on google+ from kubuntu's "show your desktop friday" .
    Looked around and found the youtube video exactly how to do it.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHqRRP9fVHQ

    Now that ive been using it a little while it has really reminded me how fun using kubuntu can be
    and have no idea how i was using default settings before.

    I used the desktop clock widget over the conky one they use in the video, i guess my resolution didnt really agree with it.
    and im using folder viewer widget instead of stack folders(is this the same thing? seems like it to me)

    Im also interested to know if any forum readers/posters do something similar? I would definately be willing to give anyones method of doing things a shot
    as long as its not too complicated.

      KDE = desktop however you can want/imagine it. I don't really know of a set-up you cant do. There was a time when all I had was Widget dashboard, Krunner with a lot of plugins and 4 virtual desktops and that was all I used with some nicely mapped shortcuts. KDE is just fantastic for customization.

          I think Kubuntu should package that as an option like plasma netbook. They can call it plasma Georgi or plasma kmecho.

                if anyone is interested the copy left logo he uses for the menu icon is at

                I tried doing a similar setup in compiz... not as smooth as doing it with kwin and you cant get the top left switch between tasks things going(well i couldnt anyways.)
                love that kubuntu magic. i may be a bit biased but i dont have so much fun with just the basic functions of any other OS.
