Yes, winter's here... Forgot to backup my Aero CD Art Display skin before installing Win7 RTM a while back, so I had to remake it. Now when that's done, my desktop looks pretty much like my old one except the new wallpaper.
Yeah. I have it set up to look like that when I'm playing my xbox on my second monitor. When my 2nd monitor is displaying another desktop, it goes back to the dual-screen wallpaper I posted a few months ago.
And by "I have it set up" I mean "I'm not exactly sure why it does this and I can't be bothered to fix it".
My tinkering habit has really died down lately. I think it's the fact that I'm no longer unemployed.
I haven't used awesome in about half a year, so the syntax might be out of date, but here's mine:
-- {{{ Tags
-- Define tags table.
tags = {}
for s = 1, screen.count() do
-- Each screen has its own tag table.
tags[s] = {}
-- Create 9 tags per screen.
--for tagnumber = 1, 6 do
-- tags[s][tagnumber] = tag(tagnumber)
-- Add tags to screen one by one
-- tags[s][tagnumber].screen = s
--awful.layout.set(layouts[1], tags[s][tagnumber])
-- end
tags[s][1] = tag({ name = "term" })
tags[s][1].screen = s
awful.layout.set(layouts[1], tags[s][1])
tags[s][2] = tag({ name = "www" })
tags[s][2].screen = s
awful.layout.set(layouts[1], tags[s][2])
tags[s][3] = tag({ name = "misc" })
tags[s][3].screen = s
awful.layout.set(layouts[1], tags[s][3])
tags[s][4] = tag({ name = "music" })
tags[s][4].screen = s
awful.layout.set(layouts[1], tags[s][4])
-- I'm sure you want to see at least one tag.
tags[s][1].selected = true
end
-- }}}
The default method (1-9) is still there, just commented out.

So I have 2 new monitors that are very very sexy. The resolution comes to 3840x1080. I have found a total of maybe 5 wallpapers that fit this resolution, or are bigger(so they basically fit). Anyone have good sources for multimonitor wallpapers?
some are nsfw, but there are some quite nice ones, it seems.
Generally the response from google was "olol download this '[MATCHES YOUR SEARCH TERMS]' wallpaper .exe free!" maybe the googlefu was weak. Thanks for the links.
Edit: also alot of these sites are just blowing up regular sized wallpapers to fit the resolution....
So Windows 7 is basically here, I know a bunch of you are running it. What customizations are out there for it? Anything for good multi monitor support?
Any good gadget sites other than the official Windows one?
edit: Apparently I just read that in Vista you can set a wide image to tile, and it will natively span it across your multiple monitors. Anyone tried this with 7? I only have multiple monitors at work so I won't be able to try it until Thursday since I have training till Wednesday.

This is the only way to get a wallpaper to go across more then one monitor in win7 at the moment.
So I've been trying out KDE 4.3. It's not bad, actually. That widget on the desktop behaves just like a file management pane, except that you can hover over items to drill down deeper into your files. Double clicking pops open the full file manager at your current location.
I also kind of like how the taskbar is just a bunch of desktop widgets lumped together. Heck, even standalone icons on the desktop are just automatically generated launcher widgets. I wouldn't give it to my dad without an explanation about the abstraction (drag + drop could be slightly confusing this way), but the flexibility is nice.
KDE 4.0 and 4.1 both randomly crashed a lot when I tried them in Ubuntu. There were also a lot of blatantly stupid UI issues which I can only assume were bugs.
KDE 4.2 seems to be pretty solid so far. The only major bugs I've found so far are
1. KDE's lack of support for multimonitor without either xorg.conf editing or running xrandr from the command line.
2. Kopete keeps popping up messages about the online status of friends, even though I've tried to disable that like five times.
It also doesn't support several of my laptop's shortcut keys that Gnome recognises. Nothing too serious.
Frem pretty much nailed it. Plus some weird graphical glitches -- improper rendering or something.
I might give 4.3 a shot then.
Do that, I'm on 4.3, albeit using kmess instead of kopete and it's been nothing, but sunshine and lollipops. Even with different window managers. Plasma just keeps on trucking under both openbox and awesome.
edit: Oh, man, could you paper me that wall, Itunes?

I've been using KDE 4.x since the first version dropped, and I've not had any trouble at all with it.

Even Linus Torvalds jumped to Gnome when KDE 4.0 came out, so I don't feel too bad for having waited a few versions.

Awesome, thanks
here's mine: I wish I knew how to set names of tags instead of just numbers, but I can't work it out.
And by "I have it set up" I mean "I'm not exactly sure why it does this and I can't be bothered to fix it".
My tinkering habit has really died down lately. I think it's the fact that I'm no longer unemployed.

That looks nice man, do you have a source?
Sure, I uploaded a copy to the dump
Awesome, thanks!

Deviant art had a total of 2-3.

What's that font?
My arch machine. Wall is on random rotation, I'm a fractal nut, but my wall folder has way more than that.
