Reader gabriela2400's desktop uses the Gaia customization set to completely revamp the Linux interface into a beautiful work of art, complete with wallpapers, icons, and a custom GTK theme.


The desktop is comprised of the following elements, most of which can be downloaded from the Gaia web site:

Operating System: Ubuntu 10.04

Gtk and Emerald theme: Sprout

Wallpaper: See The World

Custom Pidgin iconset

Covergloobus by me

Conky: 5 individual custom configs

AWN: Skin by me

Dock icons: Gaia Icons

This desktop not your style? Why waste time complaining? Instead, get started creating your own killer desktop with the easy-install Rainmeter 1.2 package and show the world what you can do. Of course, using Rainmeter isn't a requirement—you are more than welcome to use any of the best desktop customization tools to turn your desktop into a productive work of art.


Once you've created your own beautifully tweaked (and hopefully productive) desktop, post it over in the Lifehacker Desktop Show and Tell Flickr Group complete with a description of the programs and tweaks you used (and preferably links as well!), and we just might feature it here.
