I was thinking, after I ran across a number of these threads recently in my attempts to get Cairo Dock running properly, that it would be nice to have one in a more familiar and fannish space. (Not that my desktop is fannish, at the moment, but I can't quite imagine finding pre-raphaelites in one of the threads I perused either.)

Is there any interest? Pictures can easily be hosted at TinyPic or ImageShack, which both allow uploading without a user account, if anyone doesn't already have photo hosting. I will go first in the comments anyway!

Cairo Dock, Conky, Gaia08 GTK + Emerald, and the Compiz Expo plugin in action. The dock icons are Token and Awoken which I'm working on recoloring.

I am always the boring one in these memes: I have a standard wallpaper and one icon: Iceweasel :)

do you know a good easy conky tutorial. I downloaded it and wanted to use it (for e-mail and some rss monitoring, I'm so untechnical I don't care how much cpu i'm loading or how hot the computer is) but all of the documentation was kind of tl;dr.

My desktop is kinda boring, unless you're me, but I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 with Docky on Gnome, with the Equinox Evolution Light theme and a hell of a lot of Conky scripting.

The small computer is my brand new netbook with Ubuntu 11.04, using Unity, same theme, and a little Conky.

Photobucket

As much conky stuff as I've done, it's mostly a case of download something & keep tweaking until I like it enough.
Will snap some actual screenshots if anyone wants to see the theme or anything?
