Well with more time on my hands I came up with something else new today. I usually use the floating feet screensaver in gnome, but got to thinking I would rather have it be the CentOS logo. So I sat down to figure this out and here are my results. First your gonna need this package , this will give you the two files you need to get this installed and working. In this package you will find the centos-floaters.desktop file and the centos.svg file. After you have extracted the files you need to open a terminal and su to root. Now we need to copy these files to the necessary locations so as root here are the commands

cp centos-floaters.desktop /usr/share/applications/screensavers/

this will copy the desktop file to the apprpriate directory, then we need to

cp centos.svg /usr/share/pixmaps

this puts our image where it needs to be, now when you go to System->Preferences->Screensaver you should see this
screensaver1

Now you can select the CentOS Floaters as your screensaver and your all done, your very own CentOS screensaver in 10 minutes.

I wanted to have the Nodoka gkt-engine and theme for my CentOS gnome so I sat down and built the rpms for them you can get them here. You will need all four of these, then to install you will have to rpm -Uvh each of these in this order

#1 – rpm -Uvh nodoka-filesytem
#2 – rpm -uvh gtk-nodoka-engine
#3 – rpm -Uvh gtk-nodoka-engine-extras
#4 – rpm -Uvh nodoka-metacity-theme

After this is complete you can go to your gnome menu System–>Preferences–>Theme and use Nodoka. These rpm’s install several nodoka theme’s which include
Nodoka-Aqua
Nodoka-Gilouche
Nodoka-Looks
Nodoka-Midnight
Nodoka-Rounded
Nodoka-Silver
Nodoka-Squared

and of course also the Metacity theme as well. Hopefully all went well and you can now use the Nodoka style with your CentOS system, if you have any problems or questions please let me know, enjoy.
