Just so you know, there's no need to open Grab. Command + Shift + 3 takes a screenshot of the whole screen, Command + Shift + 4 lets you drag a selection around what you want to capture, and if you press Command + Shift + 4 and then space, it lets you click on and capture a whole window.

To be honest, I don't remember where I found it...

...but because I'm so nice, I've uploaded it here. [1.2mb, 1920x1080] Enjoy!

I'd say that it's a pretty safe bet that you got it from http://orioto.deviantart.com, what, with the URL being in the wallpaper and all. ;)

Here another Mario wallpaper of his: http://orioto.deviantart.com/art/Milky-Sky-94232743

:laugh: Wow, I didn't even notice it since it's so subtle. He's got some really good stuff. I actually switched to his Zelda wallpaper. Ah, memories...

I totally didn't notice that either... Mainly because I have a smaller resolution, so I just set the wall to 'center' or whatever so I don't get black stripes on my desktop. In the end, I don't even see the address on my desktop. :laugh:

Which toolbar? The one with the black bar? That's the Glasser extension [you can find it in the Firefox forum here on Neowin, I think], and the 'Personal Menu' extension for the two buttons on the left of the bookmarks.

I think he is talking about your Navigation Toolbar

Which I would like to know also.. The rounded corners on everything.. The reload button being included in the back button. I know most of it is stylish scripts but which ones?

Do you really rathar want those huge shortcut icons there instead of space for the taskbar buttons

Yeah I have to agree that bloody cluttered. Would almost rather use a dock than all that for sure

    • Microsoft explains how it made Teams so much faster in 2026

      I just started using Teams (and “New” Oiutlook) at work (instead of Slack) and both are truly abysmal pieces of software.

    • Phone Dilemma

      By +InsaneNutter · Posted

      If you are willing to go to approx $200, then as mentioned in your other thread I think a refurbished Pixel 8 will be a great deal that will last you for years. I recently recommended that to someone at work, he was on a strict £200 budget, which got him an excellent conditioned refurbished Pixel 8 here. He's since told me its the best phone he's ever had and feels its a massive upgrade over his old Samsung A series device. I don't know the sites which deal in refurbished devices in the US, however I’m sure you will have some options like we do here. Failing that Ebay is also quite good in my experience. If you wanted something a bit cheaper, then you could maybe go for an older Pixel 7, these will still get security updates until the end of 2027. Even after that you have good third party OS support from LineageOS. It doesn't have to be a Pixel though, you can buy many older devices for a good deal that would be better than a new $100 phone and flash LineageOS to them: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/

      I don't use one drive, but then I don't use any cloud storage, not even Icloud on my mac. If I did use cloud storage, then I would not use One drive, not because there is anything wrong with it, but because I can use Icloud. The only reason I see to use one drive is if your job requires you to have access to it

      Not built in, which is not a bad thing. There are ways of adding cloud storage to it, Dropbox is the most well know that also have a client for Linux, but there are others.
