Scientific, eh? That's a nice, straightforward DE you've got there.
Elegant. My favorite so far this month. :p
Still exploring DE's with good global menus.
This one is KDE 4.8.4 on MacBook 5.1. Color theme is Caledonia with Fenza icons, both from KDE-look.org.
The dock is AWN.
Does anyone know if macfanctrld uses SMART? If so, then 2cute4u might try that.
Kopkins,
This is a widely known issue among Macbook users. There's even a couple of threads on it on these forums.
To cut to the chase, you should do the following:
1.
sudo apt-get...
Yes, there are some noticeable caveats with the extensions. You'll need to watch those carefully, especially during upgrades, though problems will be rare during updates.
The Shell itself won't...
Got KDE 4.8 working out with trackpad fully functional. All necessary settings are there.
Glad to be back on KDE too.
I just got 12.04 dual booting on my Macbook 5.1., today. The trackpad is a mess. Without proper trackpad function, you have rudimentary, or no, window management. As I type this, I am struggling to...
Makes me miss KDE! Glad to see 4.8 is coming along.
Oh, yeah, there it is!
Been a while since I used a 19-inch monitor. 15-inch widescreen laptop here. The launcher seems just sprawling on it.
oh yeah... there it is!
vindsl,
Intriguing desktop. I'm wondering:
Where's the app name and menu that's usually in the top right corner? Camouflaged?
Any special configuration for that launcher? Or just a large...
Thanks hictio for showing interest in this.
It's in the repos. Just
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jconti/gnome3
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install indicator-applet-appmenu
...
Thanks viperdvman.
Yes, the persistent (as in not fading in on mouseover) global menu is alive and well in Classic. You can check to see if you've already got it installed by...
;)
Before Lion, I thought Mac wallpapers were bit focused on the bright sky blues. But this one and other defaults in that OS make me feel like putting another log on the fire, lighting another...
Yep, that's my favorite in the Lion collection. Can't make myself switch to another.
For others who use Mac Lion, too: Has anyone else wondered whether Lion designers have taken a few tips from...
First shot: GNOME Classic with OS X "Lake Isles" background, Zukitwo Dark GTK and window themes, FaenzaWolfe icons. AWN as dock.
2nd shot: same, Chromium in front.
Five years ago, you would have had to install half of them, and by command line (as in compile). But now, most linuxes are plug n play. You'll still find some holes though, notably in printer...
Type out an essay in which you persuade your audience (other Ubuntuforums folks) that you really do deserve your moniker. Wait for peer feedback.
Looks like this conversation got a little off track and into some personal bickering. Let's get back to the point.
Tornikee:
It is a known issue. I had it immediately after upgrading to...
The screenlet "FolderView" is the one. All done now.
Yes, Scale is the "window picker." Got that set to initiate at the top right corner of the screen.
I think I may have found it.
Not many people may be aware that GNOME has a fairly advanced...
Or... or...
Porting the indicator-appmenu to the Shell?
It seems that GNOME has concluded that it's not within their broader design plans to do so.
Yes, true. In nearly every respect, yes.
The one thing that it so crucial to my workflow and DE orientation is the global menu. Development has ground to a halt in the Shell, and the...
Could you send a screenshot of your whole desktop, with an open application that exhibits the behavior you're describing?
Could you also tell us what sort of theme or look you are trying to get?
