>Decided to see how much I could get Ubuntu to look like Vista? without editing too many things.

I think I did fairly well. I could have gone further, but I would have to install more extra things and edit files and stuff, so I guess this is good enough. ^.^

Mezoko might I recommend your parents give you Ritalin?

Nobu that is a nice desktop, seems like you did alot of work on it. But why, if I may ask, do you want your Linux desktop to look like Vista? Never quite understood why people do that. Nice, nonetheless!

Made some small changes, albeit not large. Changed the theme to use Candido engine instead, amongst other small and probably unnoticeable changes :p

How did you make your fonts look so good? When I select Luxi Sans it looks like horse poo. Always did hate the way linux rendered fonts... Using 7.10 aswell.

The GTK theme is originally Rezlooks-Graphite, but I made a few small changes and also changed to using the Candido engine. The font is Luxi Sans. The bar at the bottom is Avant-Window-Navigator

@Punio4: I originally had the packages for David Turner's subpixel rendering patches installed. I'm not sure if they were overwritten or not by Gutsy's packages though.

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      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.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      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!
