One of my themes had an 'underline' on list views that I couldnt get rid of, so I looked at someone's post which said that it appeared if max-rounded was selected as the rounding style, that it would permanently cause the underline to appear. So I opened a problem-free style (flat), exported the good version and, selected max-rounded and then went back to full rounded. This caused the underline to appear but not disappear. I exported the broken settings and compared them to the non-broken ones. Turns out that the setting which causes the underline (in the .qtcurve file is) focus=glow . Changing the setting to focus=standard will fix the underlining problem. - Oct 01 2013

For those who are experiencing the missing 'close tab' icon in nautilus. Please modify the index.theme file. Insert gnome as one of the inherits, just before hicolor. Also, if a theme.cache file exists, you may safely delete it, and it may even fix some of the mini-icons. - Oct 09 2012

This is for GNOME3? Original icon set was created for GNOME 2. Anyways thanks for the post, i'll build those icons when I release a GNOME 3 update. If anyone has any suggestions feel free to share them. - Jul 17 2012

I think you should add in support for spaces in file names. I find that I have to use an underscore in place of a space when making the name of the saved file. - Feb 20 2012

Yes, BZ2 runs just fine on linux if you have wine installed. It takes a little bit of work to get it running though.

It's advisable that you run the 1.3 patch and then go through all of the installers it presents (ie: Visual C++ Runtime, Direct3D setup, etc), and then run winecfg, go into the 'libraries' tab and create a new entry called 'dbghelp' and then set the order to (builtin,native). You may also wish to also go into the graphics tab in winecfg and uncheck 'allow window manager to control windows' as this can cause some oddities with screen resolution. If you have further issues ask around on bzforum.matesfamily.org and I or someone else can help you get BZ2 running on linux. The distro I use is Pinguy OS 11.04. - Feb 01 2012

I kept getting this error when opening the terminal for the first time in a session:
bash: let: pwdmaxlen=/2: syntax error: operand expected (error token is "/2")

I managed to fix it by commenting out an original line in the bashrc and replacing it with one that was formatted differently:
# let pwdmaxlen=${COLUMNS}/2
(( pwdmaxlen = COLUMNS /2 )) - Jan 30 2012
Does anyone know of a way to reduce the spacing of tree items in GTK2 apps? I speak in particular of nautilus. The bookmarks/navigation sidebar has much too much spacing on the left side for the folders. - Oct 19 2011

Thanks. The emerald decoration I am using is based off of this one

I made lots of little edits to it to make it suit me, so I don't know if that one will look very much like the one i'm using but there you go. - May 31 2011
The Ultimate Bashrc File

Various Gnome Stuff by inameiname 101 comments

I've been getting total system crashes when mistyping commands 'ie: kilall, apt-cache-search'.

Apparently something in the .bashrc file causes all of the memory in the computer to get used up within seconds.

I have had to restore my old .bashrc so that I could feel free to misspell commands without having to lose all my work. - May 27 2011
Artist Expression 4 different resolution

Wallpaper Other by sakasa 6 comments

I like the design. But the 1920x1080 one has a lot of aliasing (blocky lines) and JPEG artifacts -- too much to use as a desktop wallpaper I think. - May 22 2011
The icons will be ugly in docky if the icon file doesnt reference the SVG (scalable) versions of the files. Bluriness will be most noticable when the icons scale (ie: you hover over them and they become bigger). - Feb 05 2011

Nice wallpaper but the score would definitely be higher if you didnt host it on a website that made you find the download button, wait 30 seconds, enter the captcha, and then click another button. Just upload it to this website instead. - Jan 31 2011

If you can run Compiz in LXDE, you can run Emerald in LXDE as well. However I don't know if it's supported natively. - Jul 27 2010

LOL. That's funny steveke.

Thank you for sending me the photo of your blur settings sima84. It appears the only setting changed from default is the blur type, to mipmap, which looks rather good on windecs with a high amount of transparancy. - Jul 25 2010

I wouldve deduced that you wouldve understood implicitly that I meant that its compatible with both KDE as well since the author's screenshot is clearly using it in KDE. However I frequently make the habit of underestimating how smart some individuals are. Hence, that joke of a comment directly above this one. - Jul 25 2010

"I mean, seriously. How is yours possibly any different from the literally dozens of others?"

Ah, to the untrained eye, perhaps they are similar. But to the eye that has brains, there are distinct and subtle differences among most of them -- the devil is in the details and this is the closest reproduction the the great looking Windows 7 windecs i've seen so far.

To the author: what are your blur settings in compiz? - Jul 25 2010

That is QTCurve >1.5. I think the line removal be done via the window decorators (emerald), making and modifying window decorators is a piece of cake with that. - Jul 11 2010

The widget is coded to look for internet traffic on the interface "eth0", however my computer uses "wlan0" to access the internet.

The widget works fine if your network interface is eth0. If it's not, its just a matter of find-replacing eth0 with whatever interface you're using (in my case: wlan0) - Jul 06 2010

Instead of saying *your user name* -- a better thing to do is replace that with $USER -- that way when it's copied/pasted into the terminal, it will substitute the current user's name -- even if it's run with sudo.

Of course, if the user's name is changed to root (like through sudo -su) then it will use replace $USER with 'root' -- but thats not an issue if you're using sudo on each command instead of sudo -su. - Mar 11 2009
If it hasnt been mentioned enough in my previous large post. THIS THEME BREAKS FACE BROWSER. Meaning that no faces will be displayed if you have selected a GDM theme which displays faces. You have been warned! - Mar 10 2009
This is more than just a GTK2+ theme, its a DEB package which changes your bootsplash, GDM, mouse cursor and many other things. The GTK2 theme is nice as a standalone and the icon theme is also good looking but I have a few issues with some of the other things. The bootsplash is not to my taste, its not terrible I just prefer the default ubuntu bootsplash. One MAJOR issue I found was that the 'face' of my main user account was removed from the face browser and i'm looking for ways to get it back, I didnt ask for any of the GDM stuff to be changes so i'm VERY disappointed. Another thing that really bothered me was the mouse cursor that the theme package sets everything to, its HUGE, I want a small cursor, not a small cursor with a large animated penguin attached to it, the theme sets this as the GDM default as well -- and the only way i've been able to change this back is to uninstall the theme completely. It was a huge waste of time. - Mar 10 2009

Lowfat Lefty (cgwd version)

Compiz Themes by Treefingers 14 comments

You're using compiz fusion, right? (the thing with the desktop effects, like the cube)

If so, go here
http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/Lowfat+Lefty+%28Emerald+version%29?content=77308
and download the emerald theme.

Then open up emerald theme manager, and click on the import button and navigate to where you downloaded the theme.

Then select it and you're good to go! If you dont have compiz-fusion, ubuntu with desktop effects on, or any desktop manager that uses Emerald for theming, then you're out of luck - and will have to download window decorations for your normal desktop manager (whether its GNOME or KDE) - Mar 29 2008

Beryl/Emerald Themes by Zeroangel 12 comments

You're right about Vista not being the only good look. I just wanted to improve upon whatever vista-like themes were out there because I personally like the look of it, even if I dont like the OS itself.

As far as originality is concerned, this doesnt matter for me, I just want a theme which looks good. If you want something original, you are perfectly welcome to do it yourself. Its not as easy as it sounds. - Mar 20 2008

Beryl/Emerald Themes by Zeroangel 12 comments

LOL. I use linux because I like linux, one great thing about it is that you can customize it to however you want it to look and behave. Liking the look of vista does not negate the attractive qualities of linux. If I actually wanted to use that piece of crap (Vista), I would fork over my hard earned cash to use it and would certainly not be contributing themes here to be shot down by ignorant people like yourself! - Mar 18 2008
Vista Start Menu for Gnome Panel

Various Gnome Stuff by qb89dragon 381 comments

Hi, I'm running Ubuntu Gutsy and I get a blank menu when I click on it. When I click off of the menu it stays there and I have to remove the vista-menu from the panel to make it go away.

I ran "Vista_Menu.py run-in-window", it did the blank menu thing, and the terminal kicked out the following
