Suggestion for future screenshots

[GoustiFruit]

Hi,

It's always a pleasure to visit this part of the forum to get inspiration... but it seems to me that most of the time, people post almost the same screenshots with the default layout and only a new wallpaper.

What I'd like to see is not new wallpapers, but how people configure and use their workspace. So my suggestion is this: would it be possible to create a new subsection where the default wallpaper would be fixed (or no wallpaper at all) and where we would only see how people configure their panels, icons, launchers, plasmoïds, etc. ? Maybe even with some explanations of what does what and why it was set up this way ?
(There still could be a subsection for dedicated PCLinuxOS wallpapers...)

What do you think ?

Nah. I like it the way it is.

I think you have a point GoustiFruit - a lot of KDE4 is about functionality and I for one am still discovering new ways of doing things....

I am whole heartily behind this idea. I used to heavily customize my Windows desktop (Litestep) and I miss it sometimes. A lot of my ideas were inspiration from seeing other peoples setups. I would love to see some screens like that.

PCLinuxOS comes in so many desktop environment flavours, we could learn more about them this way.

For example, I've seen people under KDE4 using a minimalist desktop, and others putting almost every possible plasmoïd on screen on one or several desktop/workspace/activity... I've seen people with panels on top/bottom/left/right, auto-hiding or not, different sizes, width and height, ... That's what I'm interested in. Wallpapers can have their own section. I for one use the Diaporama function to change my wallpaper every 20 minutes, from a selection of hundreds I have collected over the years, so monthly screenshots don't mean much to me if it's just about the wallpaper (or call it "monthly wallpaper").

I'd be interested in that GoustiFruit - it'd be nice to learn some new ways of using the KDE desktop, and your quite right I've seen other peoples themes and way of doing things that are uber-cool.
