Pretty up the fugly AA0 desktop.

I love my Acer Aspire One netbook. It really is so much easier to carry around with you if you’re just gong to a meeting, or travelling and only need email, web surfing and some other small tasks.

However, the default desktop is pretty ugly. And being the sort who doesn’t like ugly, I whipped up a ‘theme’ that can be easily used to pretty up the default desktop. It’s hardly perfect, but it’s about the best that can be done with the cumbersome system the desktop uses.

Hopefully it will be useful to someone.

    Nice! Very… delicious ;-)
    I picked one of these (the Windws / HDD version) up a couple of weeks ago, too, and love it to bits. Will have to try out Linpus on it, just so I can use your desktop!
    cheers,
