So... I managed to make my desktop truly Open Source. xD Feel free to copy. =D
Screenshot Ingredients
Compiz Fusion window manager
Audacious media player
- with hidden Main window - totally playlist-controlled (got everything necessary right there, huh)
Screenlets
by RYX (Rico Pfaus)
- on the Widget Layer of Compiz with background brightness set back to 100 and disabled End Widget Mode on Click option to make sure they are always up and it does not interfere with your work
Ring Sensors
- summary CPU load, two separate for each core, one for RAM and two for the harddrives
Invasion icon set
by David Lanham
- I used the SpaceBot icon for the Computer item on my desktop; I stretched the icon a little bit (GNOME allows resizing desktop icons) so the robot looks fat and hilareous
