I find Brasero to be just dandy for burning audio CDs and MP3 CDs, and practically useless for burning video DVDs. What's so hard about allowing the user to drag a VIDEO_TS folder into an empty...

Groovy. I've been thinking of going back to a dock, but I was getting a bit sick of AWN. I might check it out.

What's the dock you're using, Jakin?

You've misread the article.



This is the one they're talking about.

While it's not necessary, as such, I find it handy to keep an eye on various bits and pieces without having to open System Monitor or any of that. I have mine running in two lines across the top of...

It is possible, but should be avoided unless you hate your ears.

It just seems to take a lot longer to install anything on Windows generally. One time I had to install some printer software on my boss' computer, and in the time it took to do that I could have...

"You can keep working while updates are being installed."

Okay, great!

*opens three programs, begins work for the day*

"Windows needs to restart in order to complete updates."

GAAAHHH!!!

Okay, I've finally got it perfect! Until I decide to faff about with it again. Probably in a few hours...

Now to do something about that mess down the bottom.

I've finally come up with a fix; I've given the upspeed and downspeed sections their own lines in conkyrc, and used voffset to move them up to where they need to be. It's dirty and ugly, but it...

Wonderfully minimal. Nice work!

I've got it! Because alignr is dependent on font size/width, the upspeed and downspeed readouts move position whenever the numbers for totalup and totaldown change!

I worked that out when I...

Yeah, I'm not sure what I was thinking with that. I've taken that line out, and nothing drastic has occurred.

Still hasn't stopped those two objects (upspeed and downspeed) jumping around, though....

And then five minutes after that it all went to pieces again and I went to bed and cried myself to sleep.

I like to use FLAC for home use, but if I want to take music with me somewhere, I use high-quality VBR MP3s for best compatibility.

I think I may have found the problem; there was a stray ${font} command lurking in the top line. Apparently the ${alignr} command is dependent on font size, so that must have been messing with it...

Yeah, I understand that, but using {goto} will align the text on the left, not the right. And I'm still not getting why, once it's right-aligned to a certain point, it doesn't jolly well stay there!...

That seems to have done the trick. Thanks mate!


I still can't work out why one object at {alignr 920} won't line up with another object at {alignr 920}, but that's a headache for another day.
...

Here's how mine looks as of right now. I'm 99% happy with it, but the part I've circled keeps moving a few pixels left and right at seemingly random times. I've gone over the code until my eyes...

After a few hours' tweaking the other night, here's how mine looks right now:

As much as I enjoy bagging out Microsoft, MS Office is a brilliant piece of software. I'd really struggle if I had to use OOo/Libre in a work environment every day.

Nice! I never knew Lucido could be tweaked to that extent, but I've been playing aorund with mine a bit after seeing yours (ooh, matron!).

Ten years ago I bought my first computer. I didn't know a damn thing about them (otherwise I wouldn't have bought a ridiculously under-specced Packard Bell, but that's another story). Now I can build...

Comic Sans is fine in its place.

Unfortunately, too many people fail to realise that its place is on kindergarten walls, not supposedly professional environments.

Yeah. I tried using
DISPLAY=:0.1 metacity --replace

but that caused Compiz to stop working on my primary monitor.
