I think it looks clean, it doesn't even have a border, that is how transparent gif's are supposed to be.

I have a question for ecsyle.

I noticed you used the Graphite Appearance.  I just wanted to ask your personal opinion on why.  Not that I hold it against you, I just ask everyone I see with a Graphite desktop why.

i never really thought about it. i would say i use it because i like cold and faded colors, like cool grays and blues.

I have a new screenshot
http://www.skinner.com/jeffberg/files/screenshot2.jpg
Notice my desktop, you can't tell from a still pic, but it moves... its a matrix screensaver I.  I'm using it as my desktop picture.
The screensaver I used is Red Pill
The app I used is BackLight
If you want to test it before you download a program type this:
Code: [Select]
You must be running OS 10.2 Jaguar for this to work.

My old screenshot is here:

This screenshot is pretty good. Its Mandrake 9.1 running BlackBox, which might I add is probably the fastest window manager you can run. I think its look is sleek and sexy too.

Not only that but it's also the most streamlined, sharp and clean looking.  But the rancor theme looks better...
Yesterday it worked
Today it is not working
Windows is like that

Yeah Rancor is pretty cool too, I did this screenshot with Rancor to show everyone who has never seen it. Kde and Gnome arent everything.
