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!

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

    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.

    • Nearly half of American adults now use AI, but concerns are also growing

      That is the thing, how many of these people don't realise they are using AI? If they use Google Search they have no choice but to use AI. So yes, maybe half of American adults do use and I expect a lot of Uk adults do to, but I bet most of them don't realise it. Myself, i avoid the rubbish.

      They use FREE AI. They aren't paying for this meme-generating slopware...
