Hi all,

I've found something pretty cool. Screenlets (can found in the Software Center) is an app that lets you put gadgets and widgets on your desktop. Additionally, the app allows you to download more "screenlets" from the following gadget/Linux site: http://www.screenlets.org/index.php/Get_more_screenlets. Example? Here's my desktop screenshot

Cool, guys! Yes, I think this is KDE. But I'm using Ubuntu Desktop UI for Zorin now, because I like the Dash and search. What do you guys suggest, any cool things you suggest? What "UI" or Environment do you prefer available at Zorin Login to choose? What's the thing on the right in the background, is that like a more detailed meter widget in that screenshot?

Also, does anyone know how to hide usernames at Login so user must type in their name and password?

Conky? I knew what that was, but don't exactly remember -- what is it?

I hear that, I too switched back to default Zorin Graphic environment, way better. Only thing that's better about Ubuntu UI is their search computer functionality. Thanks for the replies!
