Thx for the link to the Simple Plan skins!

Just the gnome-terminal. I can't give up the tabs :no:

I used to use Eterm, then my all time fav was/is aterm...but I love tabs.

Same with me no tabs = mad me.

I used to find tabs useless, but now I am really finding them useful in flux! I tab my gaim status to my main gaim window, my xterms always get tabbed together now, and my gimp windows are frequently tabbed. (Y)

The feature rocks when you use it for a little while! :yes:

Post a SS of your typical working environment Mark.  I'd like to see your setup.

Not quite typical, but only in the fact that I am demonstrating tabs in flux. I normally tab my shells together, as show, and I have tabbed by gaim status to the main gaim window. Not typical for me is the browsers. I have firefox open (lots of FF tabs, but I do that all the time). I also have Konqueror and Ephipany on tabs in the same window (Google is in Konqueror, and slashdot in Ephipany).

The tabs in Flux are unobtrusive. They just divide the title bar into sections. Click on the various sections to change the window contents. They can also be middle-drug around to change their order. (Y)

The normal config for me:

Fedora

Fluxbox

FluxAqua theme for my window decorations

and a Wallpaper I made from an image on a site I cannot link to here. (nor can I post the wall here)

I really never change much on my system, as I am happy with it. (though tabs are my only 'new' addition from previous screenies I have posted on rare occasion)

Woah! That is one wicked display of Fluxbox's capability! Okay, I'd show you my new Puppy Linux desktop, but it's just Rox, and IceWM with a Bluecurve theme. Pretty bleh, but I don't go into my loopback install as much so it doesn't matter. Now if I had fluxbox....that would be awesome!

Gentoo on MacOSX ? How does that work? I thought they were both operating systems.. >.<

What are you using to get that active transparancy on your console?  :whistle:  :o

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By sphbecker · Posted

      You're right that it does not follow the plain meaning of the word, but in this context, it is a legal term defined in 49 U.S.C. Kind of how "wire fraud" laws apply even if a physical wire was not used. Given that it is codified in law, and it isn't just automotive journalists that don't understand evolving technology, I highly doubt congress would change a well understood term just because technology makes the term slightly less actuate.

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By sphbecker · Posted

      This is exactly why I keep saying we are not ready for human free self-driving. These little "bugs" are may seem like random one-offs. There was also the Waymo that drove between police with drawn weapons and the suspect they were pointing them at. From a software perspective it is easy to understand how those extremely rare situations may not have been programed for, but that is the point. If AI needs to be told to watch out for every possible contingency, then it can never be successful. There will always be the possibility of a first encounter that the AI needs to understand to avoid.

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By RejZoR · Posted

      Recycle Bin has been broken for literal YEARS now. The setting to delete files older than 30 days from the bin which is on by default doesn't even work. I have files older than 4 months in it and they are just there still...
