Ubuntu-Tweak - Tips Tricks - Ubuntu & Compiz

[MrFinaleffects]

hay man what software do you use to record your videos ?

[PCAddictsLive]

@MrFinaleffects When on Linux, I use recordmydesktop - works awesome!

[pepi560]

Oooooh u hav 2 screenz... I wuz wonderin'

[Hanglands]

Some excellent desktop enhancements with Compiz, makes using the PC for any length of time a bit easier on the eye.

[PCAddictsLive]

@Hanglands I agree - I wish Windows 7 had a few of the options... would be a very nice experience for me when using Windows.

How do you get the fire to come when you open the windows? Is it in compiz?

[PCAddictsLive]

@killaguitarz657 Yes - search my videos for: fire - I think I remember showing how in that video

[Celeodor]

Liked the vid. 2 questions though: how did you get you windows to "jiggle" when you move them and do that fire-animation when you close them? I just installed ubuntu yesterday in dual-boot with vista.

[PCAddictsLive]

@Celeodor search my videos for "fire" - that video will get you in the right direction.

how can i get those blue things around the mouse?

[PCAddictsLive]

@p3dr0rm search my videos for: show mouse

the problem for ubunto is that micro$oft does everything to orevent people from using ubunto etc.

don´t forget that windows is usaly pre-installed on computers, and most games is written and optimies mainly for windows(micro$ost ensures that)

i recomend windows 7 loader1.7.3 for people who don´t like micro$oft

[PCAddictsLive]

It's a feature in Compiz called "Show Mouse"

[Ralphpuy]

how did you get your mouse to do that??

[sorryunlucky]

I can't decide Ubuntu or Windows 7? :@ I currently have Windows 7 and love it I was thinking about dual booting.

[PCAddictsLive]

@sorryunlucky Thats a tough one if I may say so myself. I go back/forth every few months... Love them both. I think in the end, I always go back to Windows since I support/work on them all the time for work, along with Windows Servers. Always fun to mess with Linux though.

@PCAddictsLive What's the code thingy to install Flash via Shell?

[Cenot4ph]

These cornering options are standard in KDE 4.4 (most likely early KDE4 versions as well). It can actually also set middle top,bottom,left,right as well. It really makes using a desktop more efficient by using those cornering options.

[wolvie21st]

Can someone help me? Whenever I record a video with gtk-recordmydesktop, everything looks fine, but when i play the file, the video is running faster than the sound, my last attempt resulted in the video finishing 1 min before the sound stopped!!!!!

Any ideas on what is causing that?

[lucirz]

what theme are you using?

[PCAddictsLive]

@lucirz That was a while ago, can't remember lol, sorry.

[Aeoaye]

wow... you recommend people to install junk programs like ubuntu-tweak instead of going to "ccsm - General - General - "Show Desktop (ButtonLeft)". Are you really trying to advertise junk?!

[PCAddictsLive]

I think people are aware of the risks of installing any type of application. Maybe I should start my videos with a disclaimer, and a bunch of fine print saying install at your own risk. Some people it works great for, others who knows.

[atuckschool]
