[squidgemcghee]

@thecadicruzer

[dzeussy]

How you do big icons in desktop?

[squidgemcghee]

@dzeussy

after making them....you just right-click and resize them. pretty easy

[9fktr]

[squidgemcghee]

@bennyc500949

[eilif9]

[timpster93]

Respond to this video... and i would also like to know the theme / or similar themes like in the video cuz that looks AWESOME and im just not a good theme finder

[squidgemcghee]

@timpster93

in one of the first comments i said where a good place to find some themes are....its on the gnome look website.

[Grizz0903]

uhhhmmm.... when you minimize a program... that program minimize into up bar..

can i know how can i make it ?...

(sorry i can speak English very well.)

[squidgemcghee]

@Grizz0903

thats easy...just create a status bar to be on the top and delete the other one, make sure you move the icons that stay in the status bar to the upper one.

[demoniccurses9]

ok, i'm a noob so this might sound stupid but, how did you get those cool gradient black-white colors on the menus? a theme?

how do i get it?

[squidgemcghee]

@demoniccurses9

yeah, there all tons of themes you can use try searching gnome-look and you will find tons.

[MrShitthead]

Question, how can i get those 'mac like' icons in the bottom middle of your screen? do i use gnome?

[squidgemcghee]

@MrShitthead

thats a dock.....i think some of the other comments has the info.

[Friedtunafish77]

[squidgemcghee]

@Friedtunafish77

that was an older Dell XPS laptop. i believe it was a standard unit.

[elementskater1010]

[squidgemcghee]

@elementskater1010

thats just one of the effects that is on the dock...its an advanced effect.

[masMarko]

@squidgemcghee can you put links to download programs for effects like yours (sorry,i hope you'll understand..i dont speek english well) :)

[squidgemcghee]

@masMarko

you won't really find much stuff unless you install Ubuntu, it has all the effects you could want. just make sure to get all the repos.

[Bowen96dude]

Lol it's cool but I prefer KDE :)

[xinic12]

[staticrubber]

[squidgemcghee]

@staticrubber

thanks!

[staticrubber]

AWESOME!!!!

[squidgemcghee]

@staticrubber

thanks again!

[cikotro]

where i can founde this image??please can you give some information about the themes and how can put mozilla facebook and youtube on the desktop??

[squidgemcghee]

@cikotro

read the other comment for the info on the theme...

as for the icons, just search around for whatever image you want to use, i like using png files. save the file(s)..on the desktop right-click and create launcher, name it and enter in the website to the address you want it to go to including the h-t-t-p part of the address, then right click the new launcher and change the icon img.....then stretch the img to make it whatever size you like.

[MarantzSt153]

I love ubuntu but, i hate your wallpaper ;@

[squidgemcghee]

@MarantzSt153

like i care what you think ;-)

[TheRandomBlackGuy]

nice video!

i just recently switched to 10.04 myself from windows and i like it also :)

i was gonna ask where you got your cool background.

and also which theme you were using

again great vid

[squidgemcghee]

@TheRandomBlackGuy

the background you can find by google'in it

the theme is slickness black or something like that....from gnome-look

[d0ntfreakmeout]

whats the name of the theme u used on the video?

[squidgemcghee]

@d0ntfreakmeout

look at the other response

thanks

[reallybiggrizzly]

how can i get the sphere in 10.04. i have looked everywhere and tried adjusting lots of settings and have had no success. can you please help?

[squidgemcghee]

@reallybiggrizzly

you can find a lot of vids on here how to do it....

install CCSM and then search for the extended add-ons for it and then if you need to you can set it up on sphere and then restart the system

[marcmg42]

I'm switching to Ubuntu Linux 10.04. Is it better than Windows and Mac? I've watched many videos about Ubuntu especially the ones endorsing Compiz. Is it true that Ubuntu Linux doesn't consume a lot of storage space compared to Windows and Mac?

[squidgemcghee]

@marcmg42 i will say it does take some getting use to at first and to kind of "ween" yourself off Windows...but after using it for awhile now, i actually prefer it over Windows, there are still a few things that annoy me when i can't just click and download something, but with google and ubuntu forums you can pretty much always find the answer to any problem that may come up...as for storage: my laptop has a 120GB HD and after installing ubuntu &other stuff i still had ~100GB of freespace left.

[Raja221]

Welcome to opensource linux :) even though i dont like ubuntu. i would still give you a kudos for trying out a new system. I personally prefer linux mint :) its based on ubuntu but has all teh bugs fixed in it. cya around

[squidgemcghee]

@Raja221

thanks for the welcome....i've learned more and more about open-source and ubuntu and i continue to like it over Windows, except for certain things like photoshop and a few other minor things. i will look into linux mint.

[mikeello35]

what dock are you using?

[squidgemcghee]

@mikeello35 its the GLX-Dock (Cairo-Dock with OpenGL).

just go to: Applications>Ubuntu Software Center>then search "Cairo" get the one with OpenGL because there is one without OpenGL.

i believe the theme i installed from gnome-look changed the icons on the top panel AND the dock. i'm just getting use to ubuntu, but already prefer it over windows.
