Gotta change the wallpaper since Christmas is over, but gotta wait till some of you start posting your sweet wallpapers for me to use :D

I do have one question, I wanta go back to Firefox.. But I have gotten sooo used to chrome's look/layout, and I know I have seen alot of people having their firefox look just like it.. Can anyone point me to the right direction of finding all the addons/styles/whatever else I need in order to make it look like chrome?

Thanks

Seems to be Windows. Unless conky is reading "C:" and "D:" from the .wine directory. :shiftyninja:

P.S. How is Xubuntu treating you?

so far so good, alot faster than ubuntu was. it's just weird because i have a pretty fast laptop so i shouldn't of had any issues.

lol almost every Linux thread someone uses my wallpaper from last months linux thread

cough * Domz * cough

copiers :whistle:

If you want me to upload all my wallpapers (about 1GB) just ask :) .... Although I'd need someone to host them because i really cba making multiple archives then putting on rapidshare or something.

Ubuntu 8.10 with AWN and Discovery icons. GTK Theme is Nodoka Gilouche, very cool :)

Oh, and if compiz is a bit much for you, just try the metacity compositor (Gconf: apps --> Metacity --> General --> compositing_manager) - doesn't have any 3D effects, but adds shadows and, more importantly, let's you run compositor stuff like AWN.

Here's, not much different than default, though I am still experimenting with customization. Still can't figure out how to change icons properly :p

Download icon sets from gnome-look.org save to desktop, install in desktop properties under theme tab, by clicking on install button.

what file extension should it be when installing?

Edit: Nevermind, I figured it out, thanks.

I know you figured this out, but just a hint -- file extensions mean next to nothing in linux. They are only a hint to the user at what the file is. Three files, test, test.sh, and test.wtf could all do the exact same thing.

    • I'd say the first one failed to be as popular as Apple anticipated, but the easy adjustment here is to make fewer of them next time around. It would only be a "flop" if it isn't possible for Apple to recover the design and factory tooling costs given the number of units sold, which I doubt would be the case. It isn't like no one bought them; it just failed to become the new hot phone of the year.
    • You're right that it does not follow the plain meaning of the word, but in this context, it is a legal term defined in 49 U.S.C. Kind of how "wire fraud" laws apply even if a physical wire was not used. Given that it is codified in law, and it isn't just automotive journalists that don't understand evolving technology, I highly doubt congress would change a well understood term just because technology makes the term slightly less actuate.
    • This is exactly why I keep saying we are not ready for human free self-driving. These little "bugs" are may seem like random one-offs. There was also the Waymo that drove between police with drawn weapons and the suspect they were pointing them at. From a software perspective it is easy to understand how those extremely rare situations may not have been programed for, but that is the point. If AI needs to be told to watch out for every possible contingency, then it can never be successful. There will always be the possibility of a first encounter that the AI needs to understand to avoid.
