How do you like archlinux?

It's great! I don't know if my skills have improved or it is because of arch, but everything runs without much effort and very very smooth. Been running it for more than 2 months now after gentoo and it feels great :yes:

Did you leave Gentoo for a particular reason? What did arch offer?

I left gentoo because i got bored of all that compiling! I like the idea of having a base system and building up your system but after the 4th time i had to compile x.org i decided that it was enough. I came across arch and it looked like gentoo without the compiling. That was enough for me. The only thing i miss about gentoo is its HUGE repository...

This is getting off topic though. pm me if you want to continue the talk ;)

Ubuntu users don't need to upgrade clearlooks to 0.6 version, there's a little hack to make working this theme with 0.5 version :)

**UBUNTU/CLEARLOOKS 0.5 FIX**

Ideally the Clearlooks theme is to be used with version 0.6.X but a workaround has been found for those running version 0.5.X. Thanks go to tehmasp for the "hack":

Remove / comment line 51 in gtkrc

"menubarstyle = 0 .... "

If you want control over the menubar then put the following under it after commenting menubarstyle line out.

sunkenmenubar    	= 1       # 0 = disable, 1 = enable

so that it looks like this

  engine "clearlooks" 
  {
    contrast = 1.0
    #menubarstyle      = 2       # 0 = flat, 1 = sunken, 2 = flat gradient
    sunkenmenubar    	= 1       # 0 = disable, 1 = enable
    menuitemstyle     = 1      # 0 = flat, 1 = 3d-ish (gradient), 2 = 3d-ish (button)
    listviewitemstyle = 1       # 0 = flat, 1 = 3d-ish (gradient)
    progressbarstyle  = 0       # 0 = candy bar, 1 = flat  
  }
}

    • Microsoft will finally let you sign in to Edge with a Google account

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      Microsoft Edge comes pre-installed with Windows 11 and it's a great browser, so why not use it? Not everyone is trying to run away from Google, sometimes people just want convenience and less friction.

    • My favorite file manager for Windows 11 finally gets a long-requested feature

      By Fleet Command · Posted

      No. The file manager is a lost cause. After all, its dev receives all the undeserved praise he could evre wish from Neowin, without having actually earned it. This has never lead to improvements.

      I know I won't ever be using it to make my game. I'd rather pay humans.
