I also "made" a new xsplash; a desaturated (white) version of the xubuntu swarm, with the same white ubuntu text as before and an all black background - a nice non-brown alternative.

I am going to give Xubuntu 9.10 at try on my notebook since I had bad luck with Ubuntu 9.10 and battery life.

The last commenter there says "one" should work with xubuntu now. See if it helps.

Other than those two nothing much. But I really relay on those for homework and note sync up, but once I am done with my masters, I don't really need them too much so those would be a mute point. I do run Xubuntu in Virtualbox and love it. :D I like Dropbox and Ubuntu One (for tomboy notes), and I would like those to be rolled out to Thunar. Other than those two nothing much.

I used to be gnome user too. Now the only apps from default gnome desktop here - gedit and gnome-system-monitor. Anyway, few things that imho are really superior in xfce: xfwm4 window manager (I really like compositing manager, default themes) xfce4 session manager (have gnome already fixed theirs?) thunar file manager, compared to it nautilus is so slooow and I don't really seem to be missing much - only thumbnails could be bigger in thunar xfce4-panel - starts much faster, uses less resources and can use gnome panel plugins xfrun4 application launcher (auto completion in gnome launcher sucks because with many apps it freezes the launcher interface...)Did I say that imho upcoming gnome three point oh looks like shiny, sluggish crap?

Thanks. I might have a go at changing the blue colour later as blue on brown looks a bit weird. This is awesome! Thanks.

This is really cool! However, your directions were a bit confusing for me. For example, 'gksu /usr/share/images/xsplash' doesn't do anything, do you mean 'gksu nautilus /usr/share/images/xsplash' ?All I had to do to get this to work was to extract the images that you link to and move them to the /usr/share/images/xsplash/ folder and it worked.

I'm not entirely happy with "Cylon Zipper" (because it's not red!) but the Xubuntu might look a bit too much like 7's (I know I know I know, but it's enough that people would say "That looks like Win7"!)
