Really nice. I like pale-ish washed out colours. Nice padding between windows too. =]
That wallpaper is gonna give me nightmares!! ... Once had a bad trip with some contraband substances and started hallucinating about my entire body being covered by those ants >_< ... Scary sh*t, I tell ya. Scheme looks great, like usual. =]
Sweet wall. You need to either darken or lighten the "Load, CPU, Uptime...etc" values in the conky. They're a bit too 'camouflaged' into the sand as they are right now, imo (though that's possibly due to varying contrast ratios with our monitors). You need to get yourself a dark grey GTK and Xfwm theme, and ditch the icons in your menu and bar (or replace with Tint2) and you'll be king mono, mate. =]
MPD isn't necessarily "cooler" than MoC. They both do their jobs equally well (OSS) or equally terrible (ALSA). With software equalization under ALSA, MoC + EQsets still sounds a tint bit better than MPD + AlsaEqual, imho. I'd still be pretty happy if MoC were the only app on offer. Reasons I went back to MPD was because they finally fixed the buggy gapless playback, Ncmpcpp's bad-ass tag editor and alsaequal finally working well on my machine (though I still use OSS with an external amp/eq on my main desktop)
Take no prisoners..... Cremate them!!
If only Mustaine's squeeling were as good as his playing =P
Looks great, as always. I'd still prefer pixel/bitmap fonts in the bar, for conformity's sake . Nice fonts for the clock (bottom right) though (what is it called?) and awesome wallpaper.

Ubuntu (and Debian, and Fedora) has bitmap fonts disabled by default.
In Ubuntu, you there is a file in /etc/fonts/conf.d/70-no-bitmap-fonts that you have to delete. Delete this file and reboot. You should then be able to use bitmap fonts.
Hehey, thanks! Will try this out tonight!
EDIT: Meh, no, this doesn't work. However, that file is a symlink to /etc/fonts/conf.avail, so I might try to remove the file from there later. Can't reboot again now, or my girlfriend on Skype is gonna hate me

Yeah, forgot to set up conky properly, you just reminded me and I even posted it.
The next tip I have to take into consideration, still hunting for better icons and themes.
MPD isn't necessarily "cooler" than MoC. They both do their jobs equally well (OSS) or equally terrible (ALSA). With software equalization under ALSA, MoC + EQsets still sounds a tint bit better than MPD + AlsaEqual, imho. I'd still be pretty happy if MoC were the only app on offer. Reasons I went back to MPD was because they finally fixed the buggy gapless playback, Ncmpcpp's bad-ass tag editor and alsaequal finally working well on my machine (though I still use OSS with an external amp/eq on my main desktop)
MOC sounds really better as MPD with AlsaEqual, but both use equally resources, not much and MPD is faster to handle my playlists + the tagging feature at least of Sonata is a big plus. Might try your baby, ncmp... whatever.

I wanted to try something different for the top bar but it still readble
The clock font is UnifrakturMaguntia (size 18). I found in AUR, package ttf-google-webfonts, it's a huge font collection.

Sweeet. Seems to me that anything wm related you put your hands on turns out beautiful.

That's because you're doing it like ninjaaron told you, and he don't know nothing. You have the mighty dpkg on your machine, so all you need to do is run
sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config
and answer Yes to the third question. And maybe log out and back in. A

In all seriousness, MOC is a "killer app" for me on Linux. I'd love to learn about the alternatives, and about how to play around with them, especially if any can be run from within emacs M-x ansi-term. I already use jabber.el as my chat client, so why not move my music inside too.

Bind it to the multimedia keys. Find them with xev, and find the toggle, stop, next and previous commands for moc on the man page. So you'll only have to start the server or the client in order to load a playlist.

Wut? It doesn't have fontconfig? Well, Ubuntu has obviously gone full retard. See if fontconfig and fontconfig-config are installed.

Which one of us has successfully installed bitmap fonts in Ubuntu?
Reconfiguring fontconfig-config doesn't work in Ubuntu. On the other hand, deleting the config file has worked for me in Ubuntu, Debian, and Fedora.
@Unia. Try deleting the linked file. I didn't notice that they had switched to links in 11.10. I'll have to work out a fix. Let me know if deleting the linked file works for you.
