A novice's guide to the wide world of Linux
I’ve been busy/Win 7 rant
I have discovered how to make GnoMenu start buttons, and I have been having a blast with them. I do have them up on gnome-look (link can be found on the lower right of the page under “my webthings”
but I have also decided to post them here in one master post. I honestly want people’s feed-back and I’m not getting it over there (I want to know why someone voted “bad” on one and “good” on another… why one already has over 200 downloads, while another is barely registering with 20-something, etc etc).
I have currently made one theme for GnoMenu, 19 different start buttons, one GDM theme, and one GRUB splash screen. *faints* All because I have been sick and not feeling like moving so I end up sitting in front of the Computer all day. Not the best for my health, but its the truth
I try to be distro-neutral when uploading stuff to the *-look sites because not everyone uses the same distro I use.
If you want to check out my stuff, just click here.
Okay, I’m gonna say what has been said before, Win 7 looks a lot like what people can already get, and have been able to get for a while, from the open source community. Has anybody compared screenshots of WIn 7 to KDE 4? Or even Gnome with compiz/GnoMenu? For goodness sakes, I could make my desktop look exactly like WIn 7 NOW just by comparing screenshots.
*sighs and shakes head*
I guess my biggest peve is that m$ will never admit that they got ideas from the open source community. My gripe is the same as everyone elses, so I will stop

Ah, calibre, where would I be without you right now? I do know my eBook library would be a complete mess. Let me back up… If you’ve been around the internet for a while, you know how easy it can be to develop a nice little library of eBooks on your computer of various formats.

Going through my Google accounts I realized that I hadn’t plugged Google Analytics in here in a long time, so now I can get a better idea of where all my visitors are coming from. That’s all I really want to know. (Well, that and what OS and Browser they’re using.) In doing that I

Yep, I decided to share my Conky setup with the world because I have scoured several pages of different forums and websites trying to get mine just right. It all started with a simple stumble upon this page which is what I used for my base layout a few months ago. I decided I wanted

Since yesterday’s post was on a serious matter, I need to catch up on what I was planning on doing this week. First, you need to have GnoMenu downloaded before you even get started with trying to make your own theme. To each theme, there is 3 parts that are the most customizable: The Start

Hi there,
i have checked your Black-Theme for the GnoMenu today and it looks nice. I just have to figure out how i get all my Gnome-Menu-Entry’s over there. Of cause it’s a local issue on my system. I think i have just to re-organizes it or have to made an upgrade, because with a fresh new user it will work fine.
Thanx for your Work!
