Hbien,
Very nice desktop! I just installed Ubuntu on my 700m. How do you get the transparency effect on your desktop? Thanks!

lol thanks, just flashy stuff that sucks up cpu usage. It gets pretty slow unless you have a lot of RAM. Open up your terminal and run these command
% apt-get install xcompmgr

note: apt-get is the package manager for ubuntu. it's awesome, basically any program you need you look it up, run apt-get install (program name) or apt-get (package) and it installs everything for you. easier than compiling from source but i guess less customization =/. so yeah.. the point is.. only run this command once to install the program =]

% xcompmgr &
% transset

and you can click on the windows you want to be transparent. run xcompmgr only once everytime you boot and transset as much as you want. if you run % xcompmgr --help it'll give you a list of options, the & option lets it run in the background. if you want to cancel everything just run a

% killall xcompmgr

Once again, it's pretty slow unless you have a gig of RAM or an NVIDIA graphics card. If you want to use a pc with nvidia you can search on google about how to enable hardware acceleration on your xorg file. finally fixed my desktop to how i wanted it though =]
