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

A major compiler is used for both x86/x64 and WoA64 architectures. This also means that all core libraries are re-compiled accordingly which required some changes in the build scripts. One of the core libraries (cURL) has been updated to address vulnerabilities and a nasty linker error that was causing the need for a dedicated patch which could now be eliminated.
