Think i do, things like in 24 where they hit one key that brings up 5 windows all searching for a suspect and his location triangulated on his phone but seekign in realtime?

Fluxbox is simple and easily configurable, you can use that for the base the nuse terminals, icons etc. i've not seen anythign pre-packaged that can do it.

Very nice, I'd have that any day over a Mac :)

Gonna have to play with Awn on my Virtual Ubuntu :D

 

[craptakular]

also i have all the avant window navigator extras in there
to list all the applets
quick log off (the power button brings up log out/shut down menu)
show desktop (.....shows the desktop and closes all windows)
calendar and time (.....does what is says on the ...screen?)
awn menu (displays menu show in picture)
places stacker (shows the folders and files i specify in a manner same to the menu above)
mail applet (connects to my gmail and notifies me of messages)
terminal applet (shows the terminal is a polished transparent window with no borders that blends into the desktop)
media buttons (work with most players)
batter indicator( its a battery indicator......)
stacks trasher (displays items in trash in similar fashin to the menu above)

This is really useful, but could I trouble you to post what avant manager settings you have used to get it all slanted?

 

[Cew27]

by slanted you mean 3d? not flat?
i changed the bar look from flat to 3d in the settings

For a geeky desktop then gkrellm is an absolute necessity... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GKrellM

Also, I've seen desktops where people use dmesg and have it scrolling in real time (they're effectively just doing a tail on dmesg and having that displayed as the backdrop.

Here's a screenshot of what I mean (although it's not the best version I've seen)... http://img253.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot8su7.png

Here's a short tutorial on how to achieve it in Ubuntu... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4984435
