What it means I do not know but it sounds like Xhosa to me and I only understand some isiZulu. I could be wrong though.

Where are you from in South Africa? I'm from Angola you know
Been in Cape Town. Lovely place. Being born in Portugal I had to see the Adamastor

That's pretty cool for an old computer

EDIT I've always wanted to ask this: what does "Motho ke motho ka botho" mean anyway?

I speak Setswana and Sesotho (southern Sotho) with a fair amount of fluency. I picked the blog name years ago when I thought no one would be looking, and now it's just stuck. Can't change it; that would rock the boat.

Where are you from in South Africa?

40km up the coast from Durban.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW! How did you make Xfce look like that? Can you give me some tips?

Thank you both. For making xfce4 look like that:


Murrine-svn theme. I make my own, same for the Emerald theme.

Hydroxygen icons (then add the leopard gtk-back/forward buttons in to replace the other buttons).

Use the cario patch for true transparency for the xfce4-panel.

Edit all screenlet python scripts to use the same font and same colors..... also edit the background.svgs to look better using Inkscape. (background images using the same color..... I also make the pager image a bit wider so the boxes don't show off the side of the image)

The package that is supposed to be in the AUR is not there anymore...is it possible that you may send be the package if you have it?

Here is the download link: http://www.loculus.nl/xfce/files/panel-cairo.patch

and the xfce4 page that it is from: http://blog.xfce.org/?p=177


In the patch, you will have to edit the version numbers from 4.4.2 to 4.4.3 and I found it was easier to edit the patch to use the "diff -ur" command for all of the patches paths and using the exact directory path for each of the patches.


Let me know if this works for you..... if it doesn't I can post my edited patch and PKGBUILD.

well....I am pretty new to Arch Linux, I have been using it week January 1st 2009. So I guess your PKGBUILD and some simple install instructions will be the easiest way for me

I was about to write the detailed instructions down until I saw that this pkg was still in the AUR: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=22081


It seems pretty current and up to date, give it a try and let me know if it works..... if not then I will post my edited patch and PKGBUILD

Yeah, but that pkg does not exist (error 404)

It loads fine for me. Perhaps check your internet connection?
