The only reason to store something on the desktop is if you can't be

Could Ubuntu be configured to intelligently only add the applet if there

In the style of a sore tooth you can't stop jabbing, I've done a few
revisions to my theme. It's less round, more glossy, brighter, and I
think overall better. Details on the wiki as usual.

I have pretty much completed my theme mockup, and quite like the way it
looks now. Unfortunatley I am rather short on time and doubt I will be
able to make a theme out of it myself. I would probably pick up
development of it again if it gains significant interest or other people
