Cool Futuristic Desktop by necopost

This is a futuristic Desktop look I am working on. I choose those colors because they look great even when back-light is set to zero. Half way done, I realized it's stated to look a lot like the computer interface showed in the movie Tron, lol. Cool

What's left?
* X mouse theme
* Maybe a new icon set
* More CLI applications
* Transparency
* Some Keyboard shortcuts
* Additional effects

I am aware of some other cool conky that can display weather, rss, gmail notification, calendar, etc. But, I like this one. It's minimalistic and useful to me. I like seeing which network Ip address I am connected to, and which port they are using. Plus with this conky, you can actually see which apps that are using more cpu and memory.

Why am I doing this?
Because it's Cool. Because it's possible. Because it's fun. Plus I want my Linux desktop to look and feel different compare to Unity, Gnome 3, Gnome-shell, KDE, LXDE, Openbox, and xfce.

My Linux Desktop Operating System: Debian
Window Manager: Compiz
DE: No Desktop Environment installed

Will post additional details on my website after it's complete:

This is a concept turning into a fully functional desktop. It's work in progress.

Are you using gnome 2.32?

[necopost]

@america0014 This is Xorg and Compiz only. I don't have any DE installed.

You noticed the gnome-panel. But instead, you can install any other panel, dock, or launcher of your choice.

You can even use a terminal as your DE. Check out the video I made for that.

@necopost

Can you imagine this on an OLED display?

Also, does the look&feel clash with internet browsing?
