In the words of addicts everywhere, I'm using again!

[Quackers]

Ubuntu, that is. 13-04 on a MacBook Pro Retina, to be exact.
Just got the wireless working and a usable screen resolution (though it's a little bit fuzzy around the edges of letters).
Early days! It seems I've forgotten a lot :(

Anyway just saying hello :D

[bapoumba]

Hello Quackers :)

[Quackers]

Hi bapoumba, I see you're back too! :D

[bapoumba]

Hi bapoumba, I see you're back too! :D

Yup, slowly readjusting :)
Good to see you!

[Quackers]

Thanks and you too, my cousin from over the Channel :D
I've got much re-adjustment to do too! I've forgotten so much it's shocking.

Eheh, like a bicycle, you never forget much, will come back quickly.

I'm on Macs too for work, not that far away :)

[Quackers]

Is yours a retina? Maybe something could smooth out the edges of things when not using the default 2880x1800 resolution. I'm currently down to 1920x1200 and things are now the right size but a little bit fuzzy. I'll work something out though :-)

Thread moved to The Cafe.

Welcome back Quackers

[Quackers]

oops, wrong forum it seems.
Thanks Cheesemill.

Nope, it's an older MBP. And I've not installed ubuntu on it, it does not belong to me even though I'm the only one and will be the only one using it :)
I've got a 29" iMac on my desk too. This one is cool :)

[bapoumba]

Thanks Cheesemill :KS

Wow, almost a telly! ):P

[bapoumba]

Wow, almost a telly! ):P
Yeah, 2 different apps opened side by side and twice as big as on the MBP. I kept my 4 desktops habits though :)

[Quackers]

4 desktops! That's 3 too many pour moi! :D

[bapoumba]

4 desktops! That's 3 too many pour moi! :D
Eheh, I'm used to assign specific apps to specific desktops. Just handy, at least for me.

[coffeecat]

Yay! Quackers is back.

wb Quackers. :p

[Quackers]

CC good to see you!
Nice picture you have there. Is that the quiet before the storm? :p

Try to adjust the font hinting settings. Since I'm on the MATE desktop I couldn't begin to tell you where those settings are, but it's within a screen that lets you adjust fonts for your theme. I know I've seen it. Higher hinting will give you sharper (but slightly thinner) fonts.

[Quackers]

Thanks r_avital I can try that. From reading a little though it seems others have been unable to eradicate this with settings. It may be a scaling thing.

Hey Quackers! Missed ya, you old son of a duck! :D

Hey Quackers! Missed ya, you old son of a duck! :D
Thanks oldos2er! You'll soon be sick of me again I'm sure ;)
It's good to be back though :D
