[MrJimmyjboy]

i typed the code into teminal but nothing happened so i went to "apperance" and the new theme wasn't there... i'm running linux mint 11

[MetalShreader]

@MrJimmyjboy is it the gnome version or another desktop?

How did you make that zoom effect at 00:37 ? Is it picture in picture? And please tell me what do you use for editing videos?

[MetalShreader]

@AlavHar in compiz, it's the zoom desktop feature in compiz which you can assign to keyboard shortcuts, such as the function keys. For editing, I usually just port my gtk record my desktop captures to pitivi, and render them as webm in 720p or higher, which is good for youtube.

How do you record your screen in Linux?

[MetalShreader]

@SickTechShow there are several programs for this. The one I use is called gtk-recordmydesktop. Search it in the software center, and you'll be able to save a video file of what you do on the screen, ask me anything if it doesn't work

[MrJimmyjboy]

@MetalShreader i have gnome. i am now running mint 12. the code didn't work and i even tryed phyisicaly draging the theme to "usr/share/themes"

[AlavHar]
