What is the media player in the "Oh no not more blue" screenshot.

It looks like an improved on Muine... if it is, what kind of configuration are you using.

It's Pygmy, an mpd client.

Nice shot (as usual), do you have a "How To" on installing Openbox on Arch?

I would like to try out Arch and Openbox as the PC I use Linux on isn't the fastest

Umm, how about "pacman -S openbox". Voila! Openbox is now installed. Rejoice!

Here's mine for Feb.

It's Ubuntu Breezy, using an SVG wallpaper from gnome-wallpapers and a gradient colour background. Icons are Tango Unofficial. GTK is the latest CVS patched Clearlooks enabling animations and cairo goodness :)

I'm using just the one panel with the Deskbar Applet for quickly finding apps / files, and NetworkManager CVS to connect to my wifi (Works better than XP on the same laptop!!).

Your interface looks incredibly MacOSX-like, yet you claim to be running Suse linux.. what themes, window manager and dockbar are you using there?

Great shots, anyway :)

Suse Linux 10.0

Kde/Kwin 3.5

Much of the work is done by baghira, cvs version -

"Finder" is konqueror with the baghira sidebar and OS-L icons (linked in the above tutorial)

"Mail" is Thunderbird with Tiger Mail skin - https://addons.mozilla.org/themes/moreinfo....ion=thunderbird

"Safari" is Firefox with Safire skins - http://www.deviantart.com/view/20457909/ http://www.deviantart.com/view/19147285/?offset=100 with some userchrome edits to get the gradient toolbar and tabs.

"Dock" is Ksmoothdock - http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=6585 with the background colours changed to suit.

    • Brave Browser 1.91.178

      By Copernic · Posted

      Brave Browser 1.91.178 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package. Brave Browser 1.91.178 changelog: Fixed certain extensions not working as expected. (#56271) Fixed inability to use Brave Sync in certain cases. (#55203) Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.196. (#56598) Download: Brave Browser 64-bit | 1.2 MB (Freeware) Download: Brave Browser 32-bit View: Brave Homepage | Offline Installers | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

      Yeah, I signed out of everything when I changed the password to my account. I keep checking device history and there's never anything new other than my own activity.

      Microsoft are already committed to making patches for Win10 due to the IoT edition, so they may as well continue to sell access as they were doing the work anyway

      Oh goodie! We can look forward to more videos of people with these huge bombs catching on fire, exploding etc. There is a reason why most countries restrict the size of LiOn batteries, especially in air travel.
