It's an application called gDesklets and it's available in the repro's. Although, that particular desklets you have to download from here and then it's just a case of opening gDesklets>File>Install and just point to the file you just downloaded

Hope that helps.

So good, thanks a lot. =)

What's that little weather app? It looks awesome!

It's one of those gdesklets (you can go to Synaptic, search for 'gdesklets', install it, and then go to this site: http://www.gdesklets.de/index.php?q=desklet/view/171 as this particular gdesklet is not one of the ones that is automatically installed (you can just download it and then, from within gdesklets, click File-->Install Package and install it. (It should then appear under 'Uncategorized' as 'GoodWeather Display', and you can double-click it and it will appear and you can set it up and all from there.

Remember if you want gdesklets to start with each Gnome session, you've got to go to System-->Preferences-->Sessions and add it, putting

gdesklets start

in the box for the command line :D

SORRY! I see Kitch already answered.... lol

After 5+ years of Red Hat and Fedora, my first *buntu screenie! Umm... Pretty much everything is the same as before. I don't like change very much, apparently. :p

Just wondering, but have you heard of fluxbuntu :) ? Wouldn't that be a nice *buntu distro for you?

^ *admiring*

Looks cool (especially the taskbar), but you should definitely try the Tango-Generator... You can also configure it to use the Ubuntu Studio icons as a base, but you also get tons of other (better) icons - like a tango version of the wifi symbol :)

    • I'm team Rossmann all the way. I have the exact same NVME, altough not in an array like him.
    • It had gone weeks ago. Although thinking about it I'm on the beta.
    • They thought value of their goods would forever only drop like it used to and didn't account for sudden increase in price because of all the Ai hype. Tough luck Samsung, don't try to weasel this one out. Also American customer protection laws are a**. In Europe, you need to be compensated for a functioning product of same or better characteristics (not same price point as when it was originally bought!) if it can't be repaired and when you receive a replacement product your warranty starts from scratch because you received a different item than you previously had and old warranty thus cannot apply to it anymore. If your actual item was successfully repaired, warranty gets extended for the period the item was in service. If item is repaired to a significant extent, warranty also starts over from scratch because major part of it was replaced. Americans need to fight to get this kind of consumer protections because they are constantly getting screwed over.
    • Microsoft releases new Windows 11 Media Creation Tool with the latest updates by Taras Buria Patch Tuesday updates arrive every month, bringing users new features and security updates. To make sure customers have access to the most recent images, Microsoft also releases updates to the Media Creation Tool app, its official utility for Windows 11 installation. Today, the company pushed new ISOs to Media Creation Tool, allowing you to create images with the June 2026 Patch Tuesday updates. With the latest update, the Media Creation Tool now downloads KB5094126. It is Windows 11 version 25H2, build 26200.8655, which is also available via Windows Update. Note that the app itself remains on the previous version, which you can check in Properties > Details. The only change is that it now downloads a more recent Windows 11 build, so the only way to check is to download an ISO. The June 2026 Patch Tuesday update is a special release for Windows 11, as it brings a new performance profile to make the operating system more responsive and snappier when rendering various user interface surfaces, including the Start menu, quick settings, and more. It does so by spiking processor speeds for a brief moment, resulting in higher loads for a second or two. The so-called “Low latency profile” is rolling out gradually, but you can force-enable it with the ViVeTool app. Other changes include webcam improvements, Task Manager updates, shared audio support, and more. You can download the Media Creation Tool app from the official Microsoft website using this link. Besides MCT, Microsoft lets you download Windows 11 ISO as a file directly from the official Windows 11 website. However, you will need a third-party app to write it to your USB drive. Check out this guide if you want to know how to do that.
