GNU / Linux October 2008 Desktops


Recommended Posts

Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy, plan on upgrading to Ibex when it's "officially" released, right now it's kind of sluggish and buggy...

  • Wallpaper - Default
  • Theme - Aero-Clone (search for it on gnome-look.org)
  • Icons - default as I've no clue how to install icon packs on Hardy
  • Programs - I've got AWN at the bottom, with Firefox, Thunderbird, Pidgin, Miro, and Terminal

OpenSolaris 2008.xx snv_99

Gnome 2.23.91

Compiz 0.7.6, GTK Window Decorator 0.7.6

GTK + Metacity: MurrineGlow (needs Murrine SVN)

Icons: Ubuntu Human

Fonts: Helvetica (UI), Inconsolata (Terminal, GVIM)

Same as on the other of versions:

System > Preferences > Appearance

Drag-and-drop tar.gz package on this window et voil?.:))

@ Labot2001 - if that method doesn't work, or if its in a different format

Home-> Ctrl+H -> .icon -> place the folder with icons

if the folder order is correct, it should show up in System > Preferences > Appearance

Doh, I forgot about this, that not all of types of archives are accepted by appearance window...

Then your way is helpfully :)

Nice shot!

How to get font render like yours? It's a little bit different. Looks like this, but I don't know what options do you use (if this is this rendering)...

Fonts look like that if you change the DPI to 72. Your regular font rendering should work fine.

    • Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store
    • Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
