My February Ubuntu Desktop With Screenlets and Avant Window Navigator

Here are the details you need to make your Ubuntu Desktop looks like above. I am using Ubuntu 7.10.

First of all you have to enable visual effects from Ubuntu's appearance tool comes under preferences menu. You have three choices when selecting visual effects. You can choose normal, extra or custom. Before enabling these settings sometimes you may need to install restricted drivers also.

After enabling visual effects, you must go to Avant Window Navigator wiki and follow the installation guide lines. After successfully installing it you can install extra applets. You can find the installation guide lines other details from here. Then right click on avant dock and select preferences. From that preferences window you can configure your dock.

To install screenlets, go to screenlets.org and follow the guidelines. You found extra screnlets from here and here. You can download the Wallpaper clock screenlet from here. The above theme for wallpaper clock can download from here and there are more free wallpaperclocks can be found in vladstudio.com site. You have to download those .wcz files from the vladstudio.com and extract them to wallpapers directory under WallpaperClock screenlet home folder.
