I'm going on week 2 using Kubuntu. It's so beautiful to be able to configure things again!

Trying to figure out how to change the "halo" effect on the currently highlighted window... needs to be black or something dark...

* Go to System Settings | Workspace Appearance | Window Decorations
* "Oxygen" will already be selected; click Configure Decoration
* In the "Decoration Options" dialog, click Shadows
* In the "Active Window Glow" pane, choose whatever makes you happy

Somewhat modified version (I actually did something really bad that borked the boot partition and this is an entirely different install with home directory copied over).

I went with a dark ui with pale icons [Iceglass 3.0] (Have to work on a few that have colorful icons... notably for the following apps: Guayadeque, Kplayer, any apps in WINE, and Muon Package Manager. )

Just the basic background




Menu open with apps in the background, showing some of the translucency settings built into KWin. (Although not as customizable as CCSM [Compiz's], still very useful customization)



And that's it for awhile. I usually get something setup like that and leave it that way for awhile.

Possible, future changes I can see happening, if I can figure out how:
1) Overriding website background colors (esp. for text boxes, input boxes, etc)
2) Trying to figure out how to change the "halo" effect on the currently highlighted
window... needs to be black or something dark...
3) Either making the icons named above and getting with author or something else

Just kidding, it is a nice setup!

I'm a total minimalist, so I have absolutely nothing on any of my desktops. Here are a few screenshots from the laptop I'm typing this on:

Let's go for 1/16th. That's about where Win should be. Just kidding, ever OS has its place, even that one.

Here's one that puts things in proper context:

Virtual Machine. I try to use replacement, WINE/Crossover, and VM as a last resort. Otherwise, 1/8th the size seems about right.

Nice! Like the Wallpaper and the "K" start button!

Thanks!!

For the K Icon, that's an icon pack called "DarkGlass-Reworked" by mentalrey (I think somebody else is responsible for the majority of the icons).
I found it by going to System Settings> Application Appearance> Icons> "Get New Themes"> Searched for the above theme.

That icon pack is pretty neat, not too quirky or cartoon-like, yet a little bit different from what I'm used to (without being too different). Wow, that sounds cheesy, but true. I always wanted to make my own icon pack, but when I saw how hard it was to come up with a unifying theme for all those icons, I learned to appreciate what others had done.

Haha, if I ever have time, might have to cut my teeth in Inkscape (etc) trying something alot less ambitious, like a cursor pack!!!

Anyways, I forget where I got the fractal exactly, but I like those 3d fractals.
