I switched to xubuntu for a little while, to be honest however I have been using XP for the last 2 weeks because I have been playing al ot of Warcraft 3 DOTA.
It's pretty boring in general, 1 thing that is interesting is the fact that I have found a way to get rid of the borders around icon names.
Basically all you need to do is edit ~/.gtkrc-2.0 and add the following:
Code:
style "xfdesktop-icon-view" {
XfdesktopIconView::label-alpha = 0
base[NORMAL] = "#3F6BA4"
base[SELECTED] = "#3F6BA4"
base[ACTIVE] = "#3F6BA4"
fg[NORMAL] = "#ffffff"
fg[SELECTED] = "#ffffff"
fg[ACTIVE] = "#ffffff"
}
widget_class "*XfdesktopIconView*" style "xfdesktop-icon-view"
XfdesktopIconView::label-alpha = 0 determines the alpha level of the desktop label.
For some reasons xubuntu seems a little delayed like when I type, I notice there are slow downs every now and then....Gnome doesn't have these problems, going to KDE for a little while anyways.
