Whee, some nice stuff this month. A couple of questions:

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

    • Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely

      By PeterTHX · Posted

      What they really need to do is automatically spell "loses" and "lose" correctly since nobody seems to know how to anymore. Then they blame spellcheck/autocomplete and don't realize autocomplete is just filling in the word for them automatically so it was misspelled in the first place.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By rseiler · Posted

      If someone chooses to continue using SB and therefore goes through the manual intervention in the thread, afterwards the BSOD problem is gone. Whether they then re-enable the task doesn't matter, they're done, though on such machines it might pay to keep it disabled in case the next update (if there is a next) causes the same problem. OTOH, if someone disables SB in the BIOS, the problem is also gone. Incidentally, I noticed that this task exists even on machines that don't support SB. It's just installed across the board...and runs. Doing what on such machines is a little hazy.
