Hi :)

Desktop is here for now:

http://www.alazanto.org/wrvisuals/screenshots/sgstriped.jpg

Running Feisty with Compiz Fusion and Avant Window Navigator. The fonts have been tweaked with the sub-pixel rendering update in freetype.

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=343670

Theme is Fawn (tweaked menu bar) and Reuben with the buuf icons and several png dock icons from deviantart.

My modification of Fawn is attached...this version is identical to the publicly available one, but the menus have a brown background. This will not look right without the gtk mac menu hack.

Also employing the mac menu hack. In firefox I installed the hide menu bar add-on to keep things somewhat consistent.

I would kill to have these desktops! I have been trying for about 3 days if not more like 5 hours or more each day trying to get this stupid Compiz crap to work. I feel like I have tried everything and I am probably going to have to wait for Gusty Gibbon :no:

Hm now I'm in a pickle :p I wish to remove it, got any link how to? Or maybe could write a quick one?

Uninstall: just install the original gtk package back, or use the environment variable GTK_MENUBAR_NO_MAC=1 to temporarily disable it.

Font: Just Bitstream Vera Sans. It's a very nice font when rendered a bit truer to its form.

Making Compiz work: I ended up following this tutorial. http://kevin.vanzonneveld.net/techblog/art..._ubuntu_feisty/

I'm not sure if I could be of much help to you, but the main hiccup I ran into was in not having the latest nvidia driver. Envy did a nice job in taking care of that part. Beyond that, I am assuming you've posted on the ubuntu forums...

    • Yes while it's still a great browser it seems bloated more with each update by things I'm not the least interested in
    • We now know why Nvidia blocked yet another review, the new RTX 5050 is apparently terrible by Sayan Sen With its latest RTX 5000 series of GPUs, Nvidia has not been transparent with how its cards perform. The company did not ship review drivers for the RTX 5060 on launch day and has repeated the same deed with the new RTX 5050 as well. For those who may not have followed, Nvidia unveiled the GeForce RTX 5050 last month for $249 and released the Game Ready driver for the card this month with version 576.88. As such, the RTX 5050 has now been tested by Korean site Quasar Zone where the GPU has been compared against other cards that are priced around that same bracket. The site has found that Nvidia's new entry-level offering is worse than Intel's Arc B580, a card that launched around six months ago for the same price. As you can see in the image above, the Arc B580 was slightly faster on average. The biggest gap between the two was on Path of Exile 2. Another point in favor of the Arc GPU is that it has 12 Gigs of video memory whereas the RTX 5050 only has 8 GB. The 5050 was also pitted against Nvidia's last gen RTX 4060 as well as AMD's RX 7600, both of which are also 8 Gig cards. The 7600 is often found at around $250 these days while the RTX 4060 frequents around $275. The RTX 5050 is essentially neck and neck with the 4060 and is ever so slightly faster than the RX 7600. Once again this just highlights that Nvidia is essentially giving the same kind of performance that Intel and AMD GPUs have provided since last year or so. In fact, if we consider the Radeon RX 6600 and 6650 XT GPUs, which have been available for around $180 to $220 in the past, it becomes clearer just how bad of a value the RTX 5050 is as those 6000 series AMD cards probably get pretty close to the 5050 in rasterization throughput. Chances of something like "Fine Wine" are also slim given that the RTX 5050 just does not seem to have the hardware resources to pull off something like that later in this lifespan. If anything, we are more likely to see that happen from the Intel B580 GPU or AMD's $299 RX 9060 (there is already evidence of that). Source and images: Quasar Zone
