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

    • Microsoft unveils new Surface Laptop with improved trackpad, Snapdragon X2, and more

      By FunkyMike · Posted

      Not even an OLED display on the laptops. Also it seems that the laptop design isn't the same as the Surface Ultra model. Looks like bargain bin at high prices.

    • VirtualBox 7.2.10

      By Copernic · Posted

      VirtualBox 7.2.10 by Razvan Serea VirtualBox is a powerful x86 and AMD64/Intel64 virtualization product for enterprise as well as home use. Targeted at server, desktop and embedded use, it is now the only professional-quality virtualization solution that is also Open Source Software. Presently, VirtualBox runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, and Solaris hosts and supports a large number of guest operating systems including but not limited to Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, 7, 8, Windows 10 and Windows 11), DOS/Windows 3.x, Linux (2.4, 2.6, 3.x, 4.x, 5.x and 6.x), Solaris and OpenSolaris, OS/2, OpenBSD, NetBSD and FreeBSD. Some of the features of VirtualBox are: Modularity. VirtualBox has an extremely modular design with well-defined internal programming interfaces and a client/server design. This makes it easy to control it from several interfaces at once: for example, you can start a virtual machine in a typical virtual machine GUI and then control that machine from the command line, or possibly remotely. VirtualBox also comes with a full Software Development Kit: even though it is Open Source Software, you don't have to hack the source to write a new interface for VirtualBox. Virtual machine descriptions in XML. The configuration settings of virtual machines are stored entirely in XML and are independent of the local machines. Virtual machine definitions can therefore easily be ported to other computers.

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers

      By FloatingFatMan · Posted

      OK, now ask yourself how are they going to enforce that law? By requiring every single adult to prove their age and provide their legal identity documents to an UNREGULATED 3rd party company that already has a long track record of multiple data breaches. Not to mention, parliament have voted AGAINST this ban, twice, and Starmer is going ahead anyway. So, where's the democracy here, because that looks like dictatorship to me. The solution here is parental responsibility, not government control. Run some public service announcements on TV and UK social media teaching parents how to setup parental controls. That's already been proven to actually work. But the, this is not and has NEVER been about keeping kids safe. It's about control and monitoring. Watching what you're doing online and controlling what you can see and what you can say.
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By +InsaneNutter · Posted

      Interesting read. I knew the adware was quite controversial at the time, however never realised to the point The Guardian wrote an article about Patchou. I just said no and enjoyed his creation, I’d probably be a lot more wary of something like that today though.
