Bad jokes aside, if you want the same look for your Ubuntu machine, here’s what you’ll need[[MORE]] to get the job done:
The Avengers wallpaper from DKNG Studios (direct link)
The Reloj Conky Gnome-shell theme for the system monitoring bar at the top of the screen and the weather widget below
The Folderview screenlet for the folder icons at the bottom of the screen
The Terminal screenlet for terminal access right from the desktop
The Malys-Black icon theme to replace the system icons on-screen
If you’re not sure how to get everything set up just right, head over to l1nfr4nk7’s Flickr page to ask him how he configured his desktop, and let him know how much you like his work while you’re there!
Windows users looking for a similar setup can get the same effect with Rainmeter and a little Rocketdock or ObjectDock action.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6tyb9gTvx1rvpyxpo1_1280.jpg)

Want the same look for your Windows desktop? [[MORE]]Here’s what you’ll need:
The Mosaic5 wallpaper from MDWallpapers

The Elegance 2 skin for Rainmeter to get the clock. date, and system monitors on screen

There’s a place for gorgeous, photo wallpapers, but sometimes a simple, minimal pattern will do the job nicely, and this desktop is a good example. The components are easy to configure, and the whole package looks good.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6twweyhtC1rvpyxpo1_1280.jpg)
