[thecadaver33]

[yuskhanzab]

[MultiGuitargod1]

# this is called a pound sign or a sharp in music.

[ilovepinkfloydyay]

@MultiGuitargod1 Actually the symbol "#" Is called a "Hash"

A Pound sign looks like this; "£"

[MultiGuitargod1]

@ilovepinkfloydyay on a phone they refer to it as the pound sign and in music it is called a sharp like i stated previously.

[HarryzjEEE]

Thanks, man. Great tutorial.

[WarriorIng64]

Thanks very much for the video! Most of the other instructions online are only for Lucid. Turns out there is a slight difference between the two.

[jachemo]

if you guys get a blank pad, its because when you paste it, it spaces the word "panel" at the end.... just back space it.

[shinigamithekido]

@jachemo it still didn't work, i still get a blank pad.

[jachemo]

@shinigamithekido check the command, you should notice a space where it says panel, just erase it and that's it....

[TheCacashinha]

wtf is doobly doo?!!

[MrFoolishfox]

mine is blank?

[dboorn1]

Alt method: Right click panel > background tab > select color radio > slide transparent to left (more transparent) > click close button. System > Preferences > Appearance > Theme Tab > Select Clearlooks. It's worth noting the both this and the video still change your theme. E.g. move your buttons

[egadw]

[SolomonKull]

#

Hash

[Mxgk11]

Thanks man! xD

[MrBWatty]

we call that a pound sign in the States or it can also mean number symbol.

[SolomonKull]

@MrBWatty

Pound only for phones, it's a HASH everywhere else.

[worldpeace390]

@ubuntuhelpguy at 2:00its called pound in the U.S and hash mark in some parts of the world

[OmenX13]

Good Tip - Thanks.

[rml695]

Is there a way to get rid of the drop shadow as well? Basically so that the icons are sort of hovering there in the air?

[beginusinglinux]

Nice tip. Thank you.

[TheV1ruses]

you made me love linux!

THANKS YOU!

Linux is GREAT!

[bamdadkhan]

by the way, do you know how to apply this only to the bottom panel? i know there's a way to use different themes for different gtk objects, i just don't remember how.

[bamdadkhan]

thanks. i usually use dockbarx (better than docky and AVN in my opinion), and i kind of like the 10.10 default theme, but if you resize the bottom panel (after adding dockbarx to it), it looks roadkill. now i can make it transparent, and it will look awesome.

[elnegrobembon]

so... this works, sorta, kinda.. the blocks at the end of the panel stay solid for me.

i've tried this before and it always looks like that... is that just how it's supposed to be? or is there another way to turn those rectangle blocks transparent too?

[Herriman]

@elnegrobembon ok do you use compiz? ok go to compizconfig, enable the one that's called "Opacity, Brightness & Saturation".

Open it and add a new function under Windows Specific Settings.

Under "Window", add the things you want to make transparent. I.e if you want every single window to be transparent, add this line: Menu | PopupMenu | DropdownMenu | tooltip. Now, choose how transparent you want everything to be by changing the windows value. I use this to hide the annoying tooltip.

Good luck!

[UbuntuHelpGuy]

@Herriman Well said!

[elnegrobembon]

@Herriman

yea, that's what i'm doing right now, but the way ubuntuhelpguy does it looks different. the panel still has a shadow, the icons and letters still show up.

the way compiz does it, everything gets more transparent.

i just wanted to try it the way ubuntuhelpguy did it, but it's not working all the way..

thanks anyway though...

[blackoutworm]

@elnegrobembon If it doesn't work you are not using the Ambiance theme.

Edit the theme you are using.

[elnegrobembon]

@blackoutworm

this only works with the ambiance theme?

well, that explains it, since i'm using mint..

oh well, no big deal.. i'll just use compiz..

[darkwatttcher]

@elnegrobembon hi im usinng mint to and you cant found ambiance theme in the synaptic package type light themes in the search on synaptic

[ovidiugr]

cp -r /usr/share/themes/Ambiance ~/.themes/

cp: cannot stat `/usr/share/themes/Ambiance': No such file or directory

[UbuntuHelpGuy]

@ovidiugr Check the doobly doo once again. I did a typing mistake ;) Sorry

[sidhartRON]

@ubuntuhelpguy you've made a mistake in the doobly do in the very first command it's not --r but -r

please rectify that and incase you don't.... others please thumb this up so that others can see :)

[UbuntuHelpGuy]

@sidhartRON God! Thanks, mate! :D

[MustacheVerra]

Thanks for the video.

[ovidiugr]

~ $ cp --r /usr/share/themes/Ambiance ~/.themes/

cp: option '--r' is ambiguous

Try `cp --help' for more information.

[sidhartRON]

@ovidiugr its not --r it's -r ... just check the doobly doo now :)

[rinkavideos64]

@sidhartRON WTF IS A DOOBLY DOO?

[sidhartRON]

@rinkavideos64 It's one of those youtube slangs for The video desctription.

wheezywaiter started it!!

[elnegrobembon]

lol!! @ "doobly doo" you've been watching a lot of TWIL haven't you?

but yea, you're right. there is another easier way to do this with compiz settings.. but the transparency looks a little different.

[UbuntuHelpGuy]

@elnegrobembon Yep, mate. Haha, I actually started saying dooblydoo, when Charles Trippy did it xD CTFxC FTW

[MetalShreader]

1:59 that's a pound symbol

[UbuntuHelpGuy]

@MetalShreader Thanks xD Always i always forget that! lol

[elnegrobembon]

@MetalShreader

correction: hash symbol.

pound sign = £

i got that beat into my brain a long time ago... so now i'm going to beat it into everybody else's lol!!

[DARKZAYCHAOS]

Yes YES thank you :D

[flamemon11]
