10 Unique Tips to get Elegant Gnome Desktop
You can see many pretty Linux desktops every where on the internet. But having a really cool desktop like shown in screenshot is not possible for everybody. Most of the time customizing the look and feel ends with a bulky desktop that you never thought of!
So I'm going to give you 10 tips to establish a elegant desktop. That means, your desktop should be beautiful but also powerful.
Elegance is not achieved by adding Vista like Sidebar, Mac like DockBar, Heavy Compiz effects or anything even more stupid, like a system monitor to show off your system configuration X_X.

Using Keyboard Shortcuts or Panel Icons is a faster way.
For those people who can not live without icons/launchers on desktop, Can use nautilus or any other desktop manager. but don't put more than 3-4 launchers on desktop.
