gDesklets - FTB look
Here's some tips'n'Tricks on howto setup gdesklets in a proper way and ofcause so it looks nice and handy.
This will show you how to get desklets and look as shown above.
1. You need to install gdesklets from gdesklets.org or if you are using Ubuntu you can do this;
sudo aptitude install gdesklets gdesklets-data
2. Now start the gdesklet daemon by clicking the gdesklets starter in the Applications tab. A menu should pop up. The desklets you're looking for are called FTB-xxxxxx.
List of FTB desklets you need
FTB-info
FTB-cpu-plot
FTB-mem-plot
FTB-net-plot
FTB-disk-gauge (multiply how many disk/cd/DVD you want displayed)
3. Download the extra icons to switch the default FTB icons out. Download here.
4. Now right-click on one of the desklets and pick configure desklets. You'll see alot of tabs with options in everyone of them.
5. Under Appearance change theme color to white and eventual remove a top/buttom border depending where you want the desklet.
6. Icon/launcher tab is here where you can change the icon. You might want to scale the icon (under icon scale) and move the icon around.
7. A good idea is to change color of the plots to something in royal blue color.
8. Under dimension you can change the size of the desklets to fit your needs.
Enjoy

do gdesklets and beryl/compiz play nicely yet? last time i tried, it was pretty ugly...
I'm afraid not yet. It display well for me. But I can only move them half down the screen. But if you keep the gdesklets desklets on you upper part of the screen. This was tested with gdesklet v.0.35.3 I don't know how 0.35.4 is acting.
it won't work differently, since we haven't fixed it. and honestly, I don't know where this problem is located. gDesklets 0.40 doesn't have these problems. hmm well, I mean, our pre-alpha releases...
sorry guys :-(
Could you please email me the tarball with the new FTB icons? The link doesn't work anymore.
Thanks,
Christian
