How do you switch the buttons around in Metacity or is that part of the theme?

Open up gconf-editor and go to -> Apps -> metacity -> general ->

button_layout and rearrange the from there.

kongit, that's really cool and really odd. I just switched to a white and green thing on my KDE desktop. (Y)

nice nice ... seeing xgl here made me feel warm and fuzzy. :) (unfortunately i dont have time to get xgl running at my main pc which has centos 4.2 and ati fglrx running with radeon 9600 and my laptop now has brand new gentoo install and i am taking baby steps learning ways around gentoo)

BTW seeing XGL was so heavily prompted into development by Novell for suse , i was so ****ed off that fedora/redhat seemed kindof left behind and novell's suse and other would just jump ahead, but then i saw this news , OsNews:- Fedora Rendering Project; AIGLX *Updated*. first i was like " allrighttt, finally fedora got gl for x now :) sweet sweet.

but then, i learned its not xgl but something seperate, its like we did not had enough wars between distro's and windows managers and package managers ...... why the hell do we always have to see fight between distro's why cant they simply unite and kick out something all users can unanimously choose and use and sleep in peace at night.

i am just completely ****ed off seeing even the "gl for x " will now have battles and we will need to choose. mind you, competition is always healthy and it always brings more choices, but there is limit for everything .

you can follow battles to some limit and you can be forced to keep thinking what to choose to from , to some extend , not endlessly.

ok , by fear of making this post as hijacking and moving away from this thread topic, i am posting a screenshot. just for the sake of it. ( i dont have that much of feeling in heart to start threads on neowin anymore.)

The same reason why everyone doesn't get behind just one distro. Or just one Window Manager/Desktop Enviornment. Or just one text editor.

I like the choices. :yes:

Nice desktops people...

After a quite a long break, still with Linux...

Underground Desktop_022, running KDE-3.5.1

Some modded Superkaramba widgets

^Clickie...

You switched distros on us? Well, at least you have KDE 3.5 now... What I recomend you do, is put an external taskbar widget on the bottom and set the size to small. That would look good (check out mine!).

why cant they simply unite and kick out something all users can unanimously choose and use and sleep in peace at night.

Because there is no perfect solution, no ideal way of doing things that suits everyone. That's the reason there are lots of choices - so that people who have different tastes can use different products. Forcing everyone to use the same product is a bad idea and you should never speak of it again :p

Nice desktop kyro. I haven't tried E17 for a while, mostly due to the fact that the last CVS build I installed was incredibly buggy.

I did a install of the latest cvs last night and it seems to run pretty good. I am extreme noob when it comes to using E so I couldn't figure out how to change the background or better yet, use the files from gete.org.

Hehehe.... I'm just messing with this distro... It still needs to come a long way...

As for the KDE-3.5? I had 3.5 on Mandriva 2006 before I did a reformat of my drives.. :)

Thanks Matt :) :) :cool:

lol, you almost making me feel like i said some kind of blashpemy, and now that i think of it, and i do think yes, what i said is wrong, and

choices are goood but wasted resources (both human and $$$) on some inferior option when already there is superior option waiting to be used and stablised makes me you know say what i said.

Yo J, well ya, getting e from cvs and making it work is well, not a complete cake walk. but you can always visit #e #get-e channels at irc (via freenode) , everyone is ready there to give you quick answer J, for background you need to get Emblem (which is available after installing e_utils also you can do e17setroot -s imagefile.jpg in terminal, it sets the bg for you :) ).

and cause you guys gave nice comments here is another screenshot.

Enjoy . :cool:

Nothing special. I got bored and used Celestia (neat program BTW) to take the wallpaper.

:w00t: Celestia! I pimp that app as an install example ("apt-get install celestia") every chance I get!

Okay, this here is my new virtual machine in VMWare Server (I really do think they should have called it VMWare Lite or VMWare Basic or VMWare Workstation Basic), the distro is Zenwalk Linux 2.2.

Let's start off with my fancy Lilo screen (Came with it)

bootmenu.gif

Bootup with custom console font (Chosen during install, much better than the average console!)

bootup.th.gif

And the piece de resistance; my new XFCE 4.3 Desktop!!! Featuring a new desktop icon system, and the Thunar file manager!

xfce43_vsfebmar.th.jpg

rezza, how did you get your fonts to be so incredibly good looking?

I second this....

http://metawire.org/~rezza/index.php?page=...ile=.fonts.conf

There's an Ubuntu package called msttcorefonts. My fonts look the same, so I'm assuming that's what it is.

My fonts have nothing to do with the corefonts package - that just provides standard ms fonts like Arial and Times New Roman, which I don't use.

OMG *fap fap fap*

:p

How did you change the console fonts?

Rob2687:

It gave me an option to try out different console fonts during the installation after service setup, the one in the shot caught my attention, looks futuristic! Beats the usual Linux framebuffer console font!

edit: I will write a review of this distro, it's actually pretty good for a VMWare proof of concept! All it needs is automatic partitioning and this slackware distro will be ready for primetime! Even better, the installer asked me fewer questions than I thought it would!

    • Microsoft releases PowerToys v0.100.1, fixes a bug that made remapped keys misbehave by Ivan Jenic Microsoft just released PowerToys v0.100.1, a patch update that addresses several stability and behavior issues found in v0.100.0. The v0.100.0 patch was a significant update for PowerToys, as it introduced all sorts of new features and additions, such as a rebuilt Shortcut Guide, a Command Palette Extension Gallery, webcam overlay support in ZoomIt, and more. However, the v0.100.0 version also introduced some bugs and stability issues. And now, Microsoft is addressing these issues in the new patch. The most impactful fix in this release perhaps is in Keyboard Manager, where remapped modifier keys were being delivered as system-key events, causing unexpected behavior in apps. The clearest example of this was Alt-to-Backspace remaps, deleting whole words instead of a single character. So, if you thought there was an issue with your keyboard, Microsoft just confirmed that it was PowerToys. Beyond the Keyboard Manager fix, v0.100.1 also addresses several other issues. It fixes a bug with Power Display that was preventing monitors from waking from standby correctly. Additionally, the new update patches Quick Access crashes on launch, and resolves a Shortcut Guide crash that occurred when switching between sidebar sections. Here’s the full changelog: Color Picker Fixed a bug where the main Color Picker window could appear inside the zoomed-in picker view Command Palette Fixed Run history initialization in AOT builds Fixed a bug where the Performance Monitor dock item could show ??? after restart Fixed the Hibernate command using the Sleep icon Limited the "pin to dock" dialog to displays where the dock is enabled Keyboard Manager Fixed modifier keys remapped to non-modifier keys being delivered as system-key events, which caused unexpected behavior in apps such as Alt-to-Backspace deleting whole words Power Display Fixed a bug where selecting On in the monitor power-state control did not wake a monitor from standby Fixed built-in display detection and brightness control on dual-GPU laptops where the internal panel is driven by the discrete GPU PowerToys Run Fixed VS Code Workspaces discovery after VS Code moved recently opened workspace data to shared storage Quick Access Fixed Quick Access flyout crashes caused by unhandled XAML exceptions during launch or page navigation Shortcut Guide Fixed a crash when navigating between Shortcut Guide sidebar sections Fixed number-key rendering in shortcut manifests and added a Postman shortcut manifest Updated bundled shortcut manifests to use the literal number-key token so number keys render correctly across apps ZoomIt Fixed a race condition in audio initialization for ZoomIt video recording You can download PowerToys v0.100.1 from the official GitHub releases page.

    • Is a fast food restaurant a good metric to compare against?
    • Grand Theft Auto VI pricing revealed alongside Ultimate Edition and pre-loading details by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last week, Rockstar revealed Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will be starting soon, and just a day ahead of that, now the studio has announced the official pricing for the highly anticipated game. This has been a hotly debated topic among fans and industry veterans for a long time, considering the game is expected to be the biggest entertainment product launch ever. The confirmed pricing for the Grand Theft Auto VI standard edition is $79.99, which Rockstar says gives access to the "single-player experience set in the biggest, most immersive evolution of the series yet." This follows what most of our readers thought would happen with the pricing too. At the same time, a $99.99 Grand Theft Auto VI: Ultimate Edition has been confirmed as well, which lands with "an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story." Pre-ordering will also give fans extra bonuses, including a Vintage Vice City Pack of cosmetic items as well as a free month of GTA+. Head to the official website of the game here to check out all the cosmetic rewards the Ultimate Edition and pre-orders bring. Interestingly, the studio does not mention Grand Theft Auto VI multiplayer at all in today's announcement. Perhaps this will arrive later, following the campaign launch, or the studio is keeping that reveal for a later date. Digital pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI will begin on June 25, 2026, at midnight local time across regions for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. The title is slated to launch on November 19 on those same platforms. Pre-loading for Grand Theft Auto VI will kick off on November 12, giving players a week to get the game ready on their consoles. As for the physical edition, Take-Two has confirmed that this will be available without a disc, with the box only containing a download code inside. This will be purchasable starting November 12, giving players who take this route time to pre-load the title as well.
