WSC Round 1 has started.
Here goes.

Got through the first round of WSC pretty well, so here's round two.
Let's hope that I can keep the flag flying high after this round.

Linux. Debian is the distro and OpenBox is one of the nicest WM ever.

Thanks, I used to install Linux distros for fun back in high school [which was like 2 years ago] and I loved playing around with WMs. Distros like Mint to even Puppy, man, I spent hours playing around before I got into modding

Thanks, there's a lot more room for custo on Linux I suppose but I've not had the time to really dive deeper.

Ok, I'm gonna get a little long-winded on this one.
You can remove all the icons by simply not displaying them [ Right click > view > untick "Show Desktop Icons" ] and I've not used Fences before. If you're using either of those shells [LS / BB4Win] it loads the another layer in and so your desktop will supposedly be clean, though I've always disabled "Show Desktop Icons" and thus don't see any of them. The DA section contains lots of themes and skins so those should get you going, bear in mind that you can't use a OpenBox theme on Win, if that's why it's not working.

If you're wondering , I'd normally use Launchy + dock to launch my apps. I use few apps nowadays as I'm slowly migrating to OS X so, yeah.


Ok, enough of my long post, show a shot if you're encountering problems and I'll try to help.

I'd suggest that you tone down on the drop shadows for your fonts, and I've long since forgone the need to gawk at how my RAM or DL speeds perform

You should go on DA, might be more helpful and you'll get better feedback if you ask nicely.
