Music on Console. You can tell I haven't used it in a while (not since discovering Clementine
) because ncmpcpp doesn't really look much like it. ncmpcpp has a gorgeous interface; I might give it a try.How about a Linux gallery?

ncmpcpp's 'interface' depends almost entirely on what config you use i believe, which is always a good thing
Damn, this is making me want to realize my dream of returning to Arch, figuring out how the hell to use DWM and using as many console apps as possible...

Hey, can you point me in the right direction as to where I can learn how to customize like this?
I installed Arch Linux on VirtualBox however I'm a completely newbie and have no idea how to customize further than the basic Gnome 3 window management.

Arch Wiki? There's not much documentation that surpasses that in my eyes. But yeah, try to understand the basics of what you want to do then beyond that it's largely just trial and error. As i believe Husse used to say; if it ain't broke, fix it 'till it is then reinstall and start again

Here is Sabayon on my laptop, pretty plain really. I like it

It's just kind of one of those things you pick up as you go along, I tend to avoid using full fledged desktop environments because I like the flexibility of picking and choosing my own components and bending them to my will (OpenBox, tint2, and conky generally are my base). PermaBanned got it right, most of the time anything you need will be in the arch wiki and the rest is down to being fickle and breaking/fixing things until you're where you want to be.
Right now I'm in the process of breaking and fixing awesomewm, it's a harrowing experience

My recently re-installed Ubuntu Lucid setup, with FF and T'bird using the Ubuntu Lucid Lynx Wall persona. Still some stuff to add back yet, including Conky when I get chance.
After my Fedora 15 install got hosed by me installing the 11.8 Catalyst package from ATirolleyes, I found that the only install media I could put my hand straight on was Ubuntu Lucid Lynx (10.04 LTS). Now I'm struggling to remember why I ever stopped using it, because it just works

Very nice Dunks, one thing, how did you get the icons to appear in the Openbox menu, I didn't know openbox had that functionality, and you needed XFCE in order to do that?
Cheers

Edit menu.xml (~/.config/openbox/menu.xml) and 'add icon="/path/to/icons/icon.png"' to the '<item label="whatever">' tag
Ahh nice, thanks for that Dunks!

Nothing amazing, just a nice clean Mint 11

Every time I look at this thread I just wish I had some form of spare time to fiddle with my Linux machine.

Linux Mint 11 /w Docky on my Sony Vaio YB1

Well it's getting to that point where everything on my Mint install is just a bit messy and cluttered, some things have ceased to function and i can't be bothered to fix them individually, so i think i'm headed towards a fresh install pretty soon. I want to go to Arch again, but i'm lazy and the installation itself takes a fair bit of time, effort and bandwidth. Hmm...
