It's Pinguy Linux 11.04, which is based on Ubuntu Linux 11.04. Nothing else.

ok if i were starting new onto linux i would install pinguy which is based on ubuntu 1104. I want 12.10 ubuntu. How can i use your setup on that, will you make a distro

This won't work on Ubuntu 12.10 because that will use Gnome Shell 3x. This only works with Gnome 2x, sorry.

What about with gnome-classic in 12.10

You can try it, but I don't know if it'll work. The gnome global-menu-applet may have problems.

the appmenu-indicator works fine in gnome classic!

Have you tried it yourself? gnome globalmenu applet?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ya, check out [link] he has good setup
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Interesting... it's Mate-panel though, not gnome-panel. I think you'll need to use any available fork of the globalmenu applet and it'll work with Gnome 3x classic session.

Also what does that magnifying glass open? Is it like Spotlight in OSX?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, i've set it up like Spotlight. It opens Catfish, a search tool that can do system wide searches.

one last thing, what icon are yo using?? The one I have found is too small.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm using the icon I found within one of the themes, can't remember exactly which theme exactly.. but it definitely came with one of the themes I downloaded.

hmm OK I will keep trying, cheers anyway.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm sure you'll find it, if not I'll upload the one I'm using, not to worry
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
nah no luck, if you could upload it, it would be appreciated

Here we go : [link] and [link]
Both are good, I personally use the 1st one
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I agree with you, thanks for that. Appreciate it.
Man I would love to make my own Ubuntu/Pinguy Spin. Like a real minimal (looking) edition.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
My pleasure bro, and yeah I agree. I don't have much of the technical know how though
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I do to an extent. Its creating my own iso that confuzzles me.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Okay, well, if you ever decide to go all ahead with it, let me know if I could contribute in some way
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I have attempted it a number of times but I never have enough time. I need a team of people
If I do, I'll definitely contact you for themeing
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha that's true, a team would be able to do it much faster and more efficiently, and I'll be happy to help in whichever way I could
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Indeed bro, and we'll make it hella polished out of the box!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hahahaha make Elementary look like Windows 98 in comparision 
Sure
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh yeah, that'd be awesome
Elementary looks good, but I'm not fond of their toolbar/toolbar icon choices among other things
Seriously... this might be a pet peeve, but do you think green and huge toolbar icons like back/forward arrows, the ginormous green options gear icon etc, still look cool? That's a throwback to the early 2000s
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hahaha
Elementary looks amazing. I don't like the tool bar icons at all either. I prefer the look of the Faience and Faenza toolbar icons. It's pretty much the only reason I use either of those icons.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
True that
My personal preference is full flat toolbar icons (not flat toolbar itself) that highlight a soft grey on mouse over.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hmmmm I like that idea too.
Hey I found an alternative to the Catfish idea, if you want to use it send me a note and I will tell all

Sure thing, I'll note you now
