What would be the best way of getting the menubar to have a shadow and sorta gradient like this one?

I'm running Ubuntu 5.04. Is that an updated GTK engine, or what?

TIA

It was posted in this thread, said it was gentoo & gnome, but yes, it's very possible that it's just windows and someone was trying to mess with us.

About Picasa, I suppose it could be running under Wine, but don't really know.

EDIT: I checked the previous posts of the user that posted that, looks like it really IS linux from what I can tell.

I found this:

Thanks guys for the comments, makes a guy feel good about his desktop :-p

Anyway, as for the questions about the desktop:

engage is launched as follows:

engage -s 64 -T 0 -I 1 -i 1 -W 1400 -H 250 -t none

xcompmgr is launched as follows:

xcompmgr -t -3 -l -12 -nc -r 8 -F

The icons are located at osx-e, they are all standard OS X icons, with the exception of the harddrive icon, which I found on deviantart, Im sorry I forgot the link sad.gif

As for firefox, it's a milk theme. Again, I found it on deviant art about 6 months ago or longer and am not quite sure where it's at sad.gif

As for the media player in the top bar, it's actually very simple but it's cool and very functional. Basically they are icons I made (not really made, 'stole' is a better word hehe :-p) and gave them the following commands:

rewind: xmms -r

pause: xmms -u

play: xmms -p

foward: xmms -f

You could do something similar for rhythmox if you use that, or probably any other media player for that matter.

Very nice, how did you get your terminal font to look like that?

I downloaded ProFont for Linux, and set it as my terminal font, but it looked nothing like that

Also, how did you remove the "Applications", "Places" & "System" from the start menu?

Thanks

Ben

    • Classic Outlook vs New Outlook — Which one do you prefer and why?

      By tsupersonic · Posted

      When you're in enterprise IT environment, you're kinda forced into it...otherwise I'm not touching any mail client for personal use.  I can't stand New Outlook. It's complete trash - half the features I need in (Classic) Outlook are just missing in New Outlook. I haven't talked to a single person who actually likes the new client. 
    • macOS ‘Golden Gate' unveiled with standalone Siri app, performance improvements and more

      By +mram · Posted

      I think it's cute that Apple is implementing their tools at precisely the same evolutionary level as other devices' tools. In other words, I see no innovation; it's "the same but different." "Hey Siri, help me write this document about shoes." Powered by Google. "Sure thing, while we're here, can I interest you on some Nike's? They're on sale at Target right now!"

    • Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri

      But apple has ASSURED us that this is private. So, it's private. I expect the same "leeway" shown Microsoft to be reflected here.
    • ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE keyboard is 27% off on Amazon

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE keyboard is 27% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE is currently $159.99 on Amazon, down from $219.99. That's 27% off and $60 saved on a keyboard that combines retro and modern design, while being one of the most responsive and adaptable 75% boards available right now (purchase link down below). The ROG Falchion Ace comes with the HFX V2X magnetic switches that allow you to set actuation anywhere between 0.1mm and 3.5mm with 0.01mm fine-tuning steps. It also comes with Rapid Trigger, a feature that resets the key the moment you release it rather than waiting for a fixed reset point, which makes a noticeable difference in fast-paced games. And finally, an 8,000Hz polling rate should make the response time feel instant. The build quality is decent, with dense plastic and powder-coated aluminum, which is expected from a keyboard at this price point. There’s also the onboard adjustment wheel, which lets you tweak actuation and Rapid Trigger sensitivity without opening any software. For competitive gaming, the ROG Falchion Ace is hard to beat at this price. And those who appreciate old-school hardware, especially those white keyboards we’ve all grown up with, will likely also appreciate the looks of this keyboard. A carry case is included.
