I was playing around with some themes on my GNOME 2.0 dev machine, and
thought I'd share.

The above is a GNOME 2.0 screenshot with anti-aliasing enabled showing
the same XML file opened in gedit and vim. The Nautilus theme is
Stylish-IX and the GTK theme is Crux2 (soon to be ported to
x11-toolkits). The window manager is metacity with the Gorilla theme.
The background is from http://www.mikebonnell.com.

Well, it might be a little pretentious of myself, but here's mine:

Apps, in no specific order:
- XChat 1.9.1 (With Xft fonts!) -- I compiled this myself after some
tweaking that I didn't diff. Here's a package I whipped up:
http://www.jewcrew.org/~verbophobe/xchat-1.9.1.tgz
- GThumb 1.101 -- Again, I had to compile this myself, but this time, I took
a few diffs and actually created a port! (Wee!) Package:
http://www.jewcrew.org/~verbophobe/gthumb-1.101.tgz Port (shar):
http://www.jewcrew.org/~verbophobe/gthumb2.sh
- GNOME Dictionairy 2.0.0 -- The app I use most, second to Galeon
- GNOME Terminal 2.0.0 -- This may very well be #3
- Geyes -- Oooh! Look at them googly things go!
- Sawfish 2.0 -- Still the best WM around

Comments (Everything can be found on http://sunshineinabag.co.uk/):
- GTK+2.0 theme: PrettyOkayish theme (Uses ThinIce engine)
- Sawfish Theme: HeliX-Sweetpill-Popcorn
- Upon reconsideration, this is *really* pretentious
- I'm not Jewish
- "Jew Crew" is a warez board I hang out on from time to time.
- I run -RELEASE because it's the only sane thing to do. -RELEASE is
actually faster for me than -STABLE, most of the time.

Yours Truly,
-Maxime

Looks nice. What fonts are you using?
First, I copied all the default fonts on a Windows 2000 installation (had to
ask a friend. He thought it was a pretty odd request, to say the least) to
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType. Then, I created a makeshift XftConfig
from various other XftConfigs available on the 'net. One problem I had: if
the XftConfig is put into /etc/X11, it won't work for some weird, wild
reason. I just stuck it in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/ and it magically worked!
Here's my XftConfig in case you care:

Then, just go into that Gnome font selector thing, specify the "LuciduxSans"
font, restart gnome-session, and you're set!

Thanks for the submission. I've contacted the gthumb maintainer to see
if he is already working on such a port. If not, I'll commit yours.
Woo! I wasn't even expecting that. Hell, if this actually makes it, I may
start porting more crap...

Glad to hear it's working well for you.
By the way, she's cute ;-).
A friend informed me that she's actually Alyson Hannigan from that TV show
"Buffy the Vampire Slayer." It's amazing that this

this (Loading Image...).
Incredible what a few Photoshop filters can do...
