Need to fix that GIMP icon...other than that, it looks nice.

I like the song, too; on April Fools, I was of course trying to Rick Roll a bunch of people, but I did it to myself a bunch because I like the song.

 

OK pixel, anyways, new sig everyone!

 

Speaking of sigs, can anyone tell me how to arrange my signature to have two columns of specifications, one for each of my two laptops?

 

Hmm. You could try some HTML, like div tags...

Anyways, I was just thinking it would be WICKED SICK if somebody wrote a plugin for some media player that used compiz fusion as a visualization!!!

What do you guys think.

 

I think that would be a resource hog.......

 

Or you could have the guys at GraphX Service whip you up two simple images to go next to each other like Calvin has. They could just have the same background color as the forum background and a nice text; that way you wouldn't see anything but the text.

Hmm...I could do that, but I'm both lazy and busy, if that's possible.

Meh. It would just be eye-candy for parties and such. You wouldn't use that while trying to do other stuff on the computer for obvious reasons...

"Hey, quit jumping around, you &%*$(#*!@ cube!!!!! I'm trying to work, here."

 

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That would be funny..

 

OK....heeeeerrrreeeeeeessssss DREAMLINUX:

I've done nothing to it but change to a darker stock wallpaper....had a couple of unresolved dependencies using synaptic (Evolution) but haven't tried the other manager:

 

Nice, theZoid!

 

And Here is my Primary Linux OS

 

It's very nice, it's usable....but there a some minor bugs that I'm sure will get updated....like the trash bin won't show full when it is...

 

OK, I'm gonna try Xubuntu & Kubuntu in the mean time

 

I'm using Xubuntu right now 8.04 beta....to me Xfce anymore is like a faster gnome....I've learned to favor it.

 

Finally got my notebook to play nicely with Hardy Heron

 

like your meters and dock

 

Wow. That looks very sleek.

Quite nice-looking. Pretty...

Cool...meters and a dock. The top panel looks nice and transparent, too.

 

I'm sticking with 7.10 for now.

 

Me too. Until the actual release.

 

Yup, until the Bcm43xx work.

 

I wish ubuntu was giving low disk space warning, I trashed my install by updating with almost 0 mb of free space... Urgh...

 

oops, you could try Xubuntu, it runs with 1GB space

 

I set up ArchLinux x64(surprised that I managed to), and I have compiz-fusion with the cube, but how do you guys get the screenshot in mid rotate? I'll get some screenshots after a few last touches.

 

Hows Arch working for ya? Its great you got to set it up, you probs feel more at home with linux and the command line now?

 

I didn't know either, until Thomas filled me in.

You do Ctrl+Alt+Click (hold down) and then move the mouse around.

 

You have to set a delay in the shot, I've never tried arch though so..........
In Ubuntu it's Applications<Accessories<Take Screenshot.

 

Arch is working well, the initial setup is a pain, but it's worth it in the end. I also feel a bit more comfortable using Linux now.

 

Its the same in Fedora...if anyone uses anything besides Ubuntu...

 

Setup is a pain but you are configuring the OS for your requirements and hardware.

Its fast isn't it. Did you install kdemod or some other DE.

Also install yaourt, its a shell for pacman but much better.

As you can tell I really love Arch lol

 

Good for you. :smile:

 

I'm gonna try arch. I'm gonna go to it like I did with Ubuntu, install it 3 times in a VM

 

Just follow the guide

 

That's what I'm gonna do.
It's(arch) downloading now

 

I took the risks, just went and installed it. Btw, my CCSM settings aren't saving, anyone know what the problem could be?

 

Congrats, & I don't know about the CCSM thing.......

 

Installing Arch.....

 

CCSM is the compiz manager. It needs to be installed.

 

I know, but his won't save his settings.
Also, how do I use compiz themes?(emerald)

 

In the CCSM, go to Window Decoration, make sure it's checked, click on it, and for command put

 

Thanks a lot.

 

It's not ubuntu that was taking space, I put it on a 9gb partition(that was foolish) and downloaded a load of crap afterward... So today when it updated it had almost nothing to work with but the result is when I rebooted I had o mb of free space and it was hanging when launching system stuffs like synaptics or the session manager...

 

is my current setup in ubuntu 7.1

 

Mmm, I love this wallpaper too! I have it as my skydome for when I rotate my desktop cube.

I haven't tried anything but ubuntu yet, but I'm planning on trying a few distros this summer when I have more time

And thanks for the comments on mines. I'm quite addicted to customizing it right now... sorta bad because I should be doing my work

 

What resolution is that? It looks nice, but a little cramped.

 

Me too! How weird.

 

1024x768
and yeah its a little small
i love high rez computers but im running a pile of junk with int. graphics so tahts as big as i can get it =[
and i was wondering does anyone know of a tutorial or good settings for compiz
i love messing with it but am not sure how to get it all to work

 

As in keyboard shortcuts & stuff?
Have you checked here?

 

Ah, that's what it looked like. Is that a restricted driver notification in the tray up there? What's up with that? Have you gone to Applications>Add/Remove Programs, searched for compiz, and installed the CCSM?

 

Nice theme!

 

yeah i have everything installed correctly and it went away with a reboot i just did
and thank you lol
i figured out how to increase my resoultion also there was an option for my actual monitor in the screen options =]

 

Oh, good. :smile:
