and sorry for posting the whole picture becoz i didnt know how to post thumbnails of both the pics.

Just use Yum to d/l Beryl... All the necessary files will be d/l-ed automatically...

I think the software the first image is just a KDE panel.
The second image is a screenshot of Fluxbox Desktop..

Dunno abt RAINLENDAR....
