^^^ Just curious, but does your girlfriend use your login, or does she have her own login user?

(both your screens show 'randy' as home)

whats a good menu bar customizer? one that doesnt effect the rest of the theme.

only the menu bar.

you gotta edit the colour numbers in the file called gtkrc or summin like that or the menubar file if you are using specific engines.

if the theme you use is a pixbuf engine. then just edit the menubar.png i think thats what its called. you can find all your installed themes in username/home/.themes <-- its a hidden folder.

Got my fonts as pcf files =)... only thing that blows is when gnome tries to make them italic, I guess I have to find a way to make real italics out of them. Still seeing whats good for the theme in some aspects before releasing :)

You use foobar2000 with Wine? Don't you find that it has awful sound quality?

Not really awful, but less quality than the windows counterpart... I just wish I could play the multichannel tracks I have and output them to the right speakers =( only stereo... its the only windows piece of software that I cant live without :D. I am pretty picky about sound quality too but its a sacrifice I have made to customize the player and manage my music

What is that bar at the bottom of your screen I'v been looking to try a figure out what it is. I'v seen it in other screenshots.

It's AWN, Avant Window Navigator, sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator

      Wow, imagine you dump hundreds of hours into completing things and unlocking stuff and you lose it all. Back in the day when cheats were built into games, you could at least unlock things again that way without spending hundreds of hours again. But those days are long gone for some reason as no one builds cheats into games anymore. So it's even more painful that studio that's on its 6th installment **** it up so badly.
    • Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update by Ivan Jenic Image: Spotify Spotify has just released an update that removes its now infamous disco ball icon. The update reverts the app icon to the familiar flat green logo after weeks of mixed reactions online. The icon arrived on May 13 as part of the company's 20th anniversary celebration and was always intended to be temporary, though Spotify only confirmed that after the backlash started. The disco ball took the internet by storm, as the reception was split. A vocal group of users called it ugly and disorienting, with some iOS users noting that the 3D glowing effect made the app look like it was stuck mid-update. On the other end, the icon picked up a following of its own. Its retro, three-dimensional look immediately stood out against the flat, minimalist aesthetic that has dominated app design for years. It even started a small movement, spawning what people started calling "discomorphism," a mashup of disco and skeuomorphism. Other brands started posting disco ball versions of their own logos, probably in an effort to ride the wave of memes that flooded the internet during late May. Spotify has had a turbulent relationship with its user base lately. Besides the disco ball icon, which certainly wasn't appreciated by everyone, the company has also received backlash for its willingness to include AI-generated music on its platform. On May 17, Spotify promised the old icon would return “in a few weeks.” And now it looks like that time has finally arrived. So, whether you liked the disco ball or it made you uncomfortable, it’s now gone for good. The next time you update the Spotify app on your phone, the old, flat-design icon will return.
