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

      Universal Media Server 15.6.0 by Razvan Serea Universal Media Server is a DLNA-compliant UPnP Media Server.

The program streams or transcodes many different media formats with little or no configuration. It is powered by MEncoder, FFmpeg, tsMuxeR, AviSynth, MediaInfo and more, which combine to offer support for a wide range of media formats.

    • Classic Outlook vs New Outlook — Which one do you prefer and why?

      By tsupersonic · Posted

      When you're in enterprise IT environment, you're kinda forced into it...otherwise I'm not touching any mail client for personal use.  I can't stand New Outlook. It's complete trash - half the features I need in (Classic) Outlook are just missing in New Outlook. I haven't talked to a single person who actually likes the new client. 
    • macOS ‘Golden Gate' unveiled with standalone Siri app, performance improvements and more

      I think it's cute that Apple is implementing their tools at precisely the same evolutionary level as other devices' tools. In other words, I see no innovation; it's "the same but different." "Hey Siri, help me write this document about shoes." Powered by Google. "Sure thing, while we're here, can I interest you on some Nike's? They're on sale at Target right now!"
