do you know how to make ubuntu look like windows vista and i cant use my microphone please help me dude

[carloskillix]

FIRST OF ALL - You should have compiz effects enabled and make sure you downloaded the compiz-settings manager. Then enable and use effects which are similiar to vista.

Find a transparent and windows like theme.

Find desktop icons like vista.

Download Screenlets for gadgets if you want

I dont think i would like to make ubuntu look like vista and never tried but you should search on the internet and you will find surely.

About your microphone check that its not mute and other settings.

[Zerorebels]

go to gnome-look(s) not sure which if its looks or look gnome-looks(dot)org and look for the theme for windows vista. and about your mic hmm check that it aint broken lolz or go to volume manager and see if mic is checked.

[StonedAssassin666]

This is a lie. There is no way to make it better, because it's shit.

[cbh2000]

Lol. Why does everybody try to make Gnome look like OSX? I'll admit that OSX does look nice, but it's looked the same for a few years.

One thing I did in Gnome was create my own taskbar background in Gimp and applied it using the Panel Properties. It looks better...

FYI, that sidebar that appears on 2:57 is Google Sidebar for Linux, and he manually put the icons on the right side.

Why did you improvise a dock when there are many high-quality docks available?

[carloskillix]

I improvised a dock cause i do not have any compiz-effects so the high-quality docks look rubbish on my pc.

[cbh2000]

Lol. Same here. It just seems to me that everybody but me has a decent graphics card, so I assumed you did when I shouldn't have.

[carloskillix]

So what graphics card are you running

[cbh2000]

Actually, a Radeon 9250 (PCI). Ubuntu has never worked with my card, until I started using 9.04, so now I have better performance, albiet less stability. Worth it!

[Krazykillasgammert]

@cbh2000 my laptop was like 450$ and if you look at my vids im doing some pretty cool stuff on a cheap ass laptop my desktop from 2000 can do most of the same things but is a bit sluggish you should be able to get a cool looking desktop on a shitty computer

[cbh2000]

@Krazykillasgammert Well, the problem is not actually the graphics card, but rather ATI's lack of Linux support. When they finally decided to make decent drivers, they dumped support for my model.

All in all, I am actually glad that my graphics card does not work (well). Now I do not have the ability to waste my time away on games that really aren't that great anyway.

[carloskillix]

Everyone tries to make gnome look like OSX since Mac is unix based system like ubuntu and MAC OSX legally could not be installed on the PC

[cbh2000]

Yeah. I suppose it is really because Gnome looks so dull out of the box, and OSX's looks aren't far off.
