Nice. I especially like the wallpaper. ^.^

That's Fedora's default wallpaper. Interesting effect: It consists of 4 different .png files which are blended into each other according to the time of day, an effect achieved using an XML file:

&lt;background&gt;
  &lt;starttime&gt;
	&lt;year&gt;2007&lt;/year&gt;
	&lt;month&gt;09&lt;/month&gt;
	&lt;day&gt;26&lt;/day&gt;
	&lt;hour&gt;07&lt;/hour&gt;
	&lt;minute&gt;00&lt;/minute&gt;
	&lt;second&gt;00&lt;/second&gt;
  &lt;/starttime&gt;
&lt;!-- This animation will start at 7 AM. --&gt;

&lt;!-- We start with sunrise at 7 AM. It will remain up for 1 hour. --&gt;
&lt;static&gt;
&lt;duration&gt;3600.0&lt;/duration&gt;
&lt;file&gt;/usr/share/backgrounds/infinity/1-infinity-sunrise.png&lt;/file&gt;
&lt;/static&gt;

&lt;!-- Sunrise starts to transition to day at 8 AM. The transition lasts for 5 hours, ending at 1 PM. --&gt;
&lt;transition type="overlay"&gt;
&lt;duration&gt;18000.0&lt;/duration&gt;
&lt;from&gt;/usr/share/backgrounds/infinity/1-infinity-sunrise.png&lt;/from&gt;
&lt;to&gt;/usr/share/backgrounds/infinity/2-infinity-day.png&lt;/to&gt;
&lt;/transition&gt;

&lt;!-- It's 1 PM, we're showing the day image in full force now, for 2 hours ending at 3 PM. --&gt;
&lt;static&gt;
&lt;duration&gt;7200.0&lt;/duration&gt;
&lt;file&gt;/usr/share/backgrounds/infinity/2-infinity-day.png&lt;/file&gt;
&lt;/static&gt;

&lt;!-- It's 3 PM, and we're starting to transition to sunset. Transition completes at 6 PM. --&gt;
&lt;transition type="overlay"&gt;
&lt;duration&gt;10800.0&lt;/duration&gt;
&lt;from&gt;/usr/share/backgrounds/infinity/2-infinity-day.png&lt;/from&gt;
&lt;to&gt;/usr/share/backgrounds/infinity/3-infinity-sunset.png&lt;/to&gt;
&lt;/transition&gt;

&lt;!-- It's 6 PM, and it's sunset, for an hour. Ends at 7. --&gt;
&lt;static&gt;
&lt;duration&gt;3600.0&lt;/duration&gt;
&lt;file&gt;/usr/share/backgrounds/infinity/3-infinity-sunset.png&lt;/file&gt;
&lt;/static&gt;

&lt;!-- It's 7 PM and it's going to start to get darker. This will transition for 5 hours up until midnight. --&gt;
&lt;transition type="overlay"&gt;
&lt;duration&gt;18000.0&lt;/duration&gt;
&lt;from&gt;/usr/share/backgrounds/infinity/3-infinity-sunset.png&lt;/from&gt;
&lt;to&gt;/usr/share/backgrounds/infinity/4-infinity-night.png&lt;/to&gt;
&lt;/transition&gt;

&lt;!-- It's midnight. It'll stay dark for 5 hours up until 5 AM. --&gt;
&lt;static&gt;
&lt;duration&gt;18000.0&lt;/duration&gt;
&lt;file&gt;/usr/share/backgrounds/infinity/4-infinity-night.png&lt;/file&gt;
&lt;/static&gt;

&lt;!-- It's 5 AM. We'll start transitioning to sunrise for 2 hours up until 7 AM. --&gt;
&lt;transition type="overlay"&gt;
&lt;duration&gt;7200.0&lt;/duration&gt;
&lt;from&gt;/usr/share/backgrounds/infinity/4-infinity-night.png&lt;/from&gt;
&lt;to&gt;/usr/share/backgrounds/infinity/1-infinity-sunrise.png&lt;/to&gt;
&lt;/transition&gt;
&lt;/background&gt;

Fedora's 8 default wallpaper rocks indeed. I'm in love with it lol. Even more because of the changings =p

Too bad NetworkManager 0.7 is so ****ed up, had alot of troubles with it in the beginning. But after messing around a day long, I finally discovered NM 0.7 isn't going to work with my situation so I decided to go with no NM. And now everything works without any problems. Well the only problem would be the latest Ati drivers not working with the newest kernel XD Won't post a screenshot just yet, since it's all just default. But I might go work on it later on and post a screenshot eventually.

Here is my newest screen: http://www.voodeedoo.org/misc/2007-11-10-0...x1024_scrot.png

It is Arch Linux using xfce4 with pypanel, urxvt, audacious, and my custom tweaks ;)

    • My son is in Monaco right now, and I was checking his location in Apple's Find My app. I noticed that Prince Albert's Palace was blurred out on the satellite imagery in both Find My and Apple Maps. I checked Google Maps, and the palace wasn't blurred there. Does Apple have some kind of process where property owners can request that their homes be blurred on Apple Maps?
    • No, it was THAT ugly and I’d rather forget it completely existed.
    • There is a lot of reasons not to use Edge but faster fixes and security updates is not one of them.
    • Can't reproduce. I installed Edge, went to neowin.net > accepted the cookie consent > used menu to go to forums, everything loads and I can browse around the forums. If you can't interact with the dialog on the forums for some reason, go to the main site and accept the cookie consent there? It is true that the site will not function properly until the cookie consent is accepted or rejected,. it's a legal requirement and I also know that certain VPN/ad blockers block it, which is a user related issue and not a neowin.net problem.   This is not our cookie consent dialog. Gotta love browser hijacking... /s Edit: this may be what Californians see, I will confirm with our consent provider.
