Members allan grossman Posted July 17, 2007 Author Members Share Posted July 17, 2007 That's Ubuntu Studio with Beryl installed - but any current distribution should be able to do it. The transparent background windows are completely configurable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The transparent background windows are completely configurable I ran Ubuntu standard for a while but I couldn't get JACK to work, so no sound for recording I might try again in a few months.

Members niomosy Posted July 17, 2007 Members Share Posted July 17, 2007 Is that XMMS I see over there? XMMS FTW! That is still the best Linux mp3 player I've used. Simple, sleek, yet very functional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it's pretty easy to get used to - I keey the active window and the most recently used window opaque and everything else goes transparent. It's all eye candy but the desktop cube is pretty neat too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members niomosy Posted July 18, 2007 Members Share Posted July 18, 2007 I like Amarok better. I tried Amarok. It went something like this: create playlist, wait for it to scan everything, wait some more, wait some more, surf the web, check back and it's finally done. I had XMMS up and running in much less time and with less pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says I don't have permissions..... I haven't used xmms in ages. Does it have to live there, or can you point it to the file elsewhere? Also, it may also look in ~/.xmms/Skins or something for skins. Edit: It looks like I'm right about that path. I rule! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
