  1. oops... sorry, did not know that. It's just that all apps I used in Linux seemed to have a skin/theme feature, so I assumed the obvious... when u assume you make an ass out of you and me... ;) I have spent countless hours researching this thank you, I usually use this board when I have exhausted all my own recources peas -C
  2. I love gaim- its a great im app, but man does it muck up my lovely smooth desktop, I have seen a pic or two of gaim contact lists with black backgrounds, or backgrounds that go with the color sceme on the desktop. I would REALLY love to know how to make the white go away and NEVER come back :D Please guide me in the ways of the master linux guru ways... oh man Im tired gimme something nice to read when I wake up guys! :P g'night!
  3. Im using gnome 2.4 right now... so... yea I guess it did

    Menu Changed

    try using menudrake, type it in your konsole... then you should be able to add things you want in your start menu. I have had to actually restart my kde or gnome to get the items to show after I saved the settings I liked
  5. Actually I went into rpm drake and searched "gnome" and found the packages there- I had to install about 90 megs of files if memory serves me ( it might not as I have been battling the flu) I feel kinda dumb for not trying that to begin with, and I think I downloded the files becaue I never used any cd's Hope that helps, if not these guys here know ALOT more about all this than me
  6. no worries... I just got on Gthumb- VERY similar to ACDsee so Im pleased
  7. break what now? ;) Thanks for the replies guys- I can always count on you to come through for s00per n00b this is fun GNOME rules! hehehe
  8. Gnome is SWEET - Im ever so happy I got it running, I already like it much more than KDE. Im still tweaking and making it my home... I have a couple questions concerning metacity... I found a DARK theme for metacity thats wicked and I want to give it a go. I see that I have metacity somewhere on here but I dont know how to start it to use the theme. From what I understand its a program to theme everything including gaim- thats just what Im looking for. If Im wrong then whatever- Im sick today and my head is a mess. Also - is there a default compression utility for Gnome or should I just use Ark? When I open Ark it opens in a kde window which I dont care for... any help would be cool... or if you just want to make fun of me coz Im a super n00b thats fun too
  9. http://art.gnome.org/screenshots/index.php DROOL!!!
  10. broadband, I have powerlink and i get avrage dl speeds of 200k peaking at 320k I love my connection- cant beat it for $35 a month :D
  11. Yay! I will ALWAYS come here first from now on writing this from Gnome desktop! Thanx guys! -C
  12. Will try that now and let you know if it worked when I get off work fun times ;) l8r -C
  13. Actually it was the official support, and no I didnt realize that about lilo ( using linux about 3 weeks) - thanx I realize as well that this is a message board and just for general questions and all that... I bought the box from mandrake so... yeh Do you think it is on one of my cd's? When I urpmi gnome I get the list of packages I pasted earlier. Is it possible that I have gnome but its just not showing on my login screen? Thanx for the help YALL ( cant shake that nashville talk) -C
  14. wow- you are right!!! SOMEONE LIED TO ME " chin808 : 01/12 05:15 : Incident created I just want to know how to activate Gnome and have it available after I log out of kde... It does not appear in LILO right now. thanks -C qa2 : 02/12 12:14 : Reply received Dear Mr Bruns, In Mandrake Linux 9.2 Discovery, you don't have Gnome desktop due to the policy of this product. you can close this incident. Regards" Ok what the@#$@#%#$@ does that mean? I just want to try gnome but all I have upon logon is kde, iceWM, failsafe... bleh

  16. I have mandy 9.2 discovery and was told that Gnome wasnt included with my mandy because of some "policy" according to mandrake experts Well I have Kde and I like it, but I want to try Gnome now- Just wondering what the best way to go about dowloading and installing it would be. Thanx helpers -C
  17. Ok does anyone know how to edit the colors in Gaim? I like Gaim better than Kopete in certain ways and Kopete better in others, I like the way Kopete changes colors with the rest of your system. Is there a way to get the colors to match the rest of KDE in Gaim. I have a nice dark color scheme and gaim sticks out like a sore thumb with its grey and white buddy list. At least with trillian I could make the list opaque it looked awesome. thanx -C
  18. I have a hard time configuring things like slickbar or osxbar
  19. I have a folder just for those files called "net streams" never had any probs streaming

    xscreensaver

    yeh I know what was wrong... I was assuming where it said "time before screen goes compltely black" meant just that... Evidently thats the timer for the scr svrpeas -C
  21. This is good advise... I have been using winamp for years and am ADDICTED to shoutcast streams... ADDICTED I say! I have my XMMS config'd jus ;like when I was using microshaft and I cant find a better app for streaming choons or mp3's. You have the fat 10 band EQ and endless skins... not to mention tasty sound quality on shoutcast streams 128k and higher. I recommend Monkey radio, SomaFM, Lounge, Bassdrive, Proton radio, beat blender, Groovesalad, and the super nice Epiphany radio Im a dj can u tell ;)
  22. I must say thank you mr KFT, this looks nice yep yep... I got gqview functioning pretty well right now, but Ill give this a go later tonight- thanx -C

    xscreensaver

    do u know how to set the timer? There isnt an option to set when the screensaver starts in the control panel and 30 min is too long to wat imo. thanx -C
