My ubuntu 8.10 Desktop setup

well, I updated ubuntu to 8.10 on my laptop the day it came out, but finally got around to getting everything look somewhat custom and the way i like. the biggest thing for me is that it had to be easy on the eyes and also usable. there are hundreds of themes out there, but they arnt really usable.


the background= photo by me: [link]

the window effects= dust theme [link]

the icons= Smokikon: link]

various compiz fusion effects, most of which arn't immediately apparent in this screenshot. I may get around to posting my compiz fusion settings and terminal profile settings. Read my post here to find out how to fully enable compiz.

I have several other cannon beach photos here. Feel free to use any of them as backgrounds only.
