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...

    • Anyway to download these versions without being on the Experimental builds?
    • Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
    • AMAZON needs to take total accountability for this.
    • Server Summit had a heap of announcements, ADCS changes are baller.
