    Can i ask where you got the wallpaper from?

     

    And do you make all these themes youeself?

    I think I got it at deviant art (almost impossible to find anything there), and I'm not sure how it has it's curren name on my hd, so here it is http://kwh.kernow-gb.com/~bvc/images/25080.jpg

     

    Some of my themes are ports

    MMX-Mercury-L

    BBX-Mercury-L

    Xi Albook

    TiSkin Classic

    Marcintesh_OS-L-Icon-Color_Pack

    Marcintesh_OS-L-GTK-Color_Pack

    TiCons

    Opus3-Gnome

    I found it...inf $ICON THEME/36x36/apps :unsure:

    ...it's called the gnome-spinner now :wall:

     

    typical gnome-devel :rolleyes:

    People complain about the toolbar being ugly with pixmap themes because we can't theme the throbber and what do they do? Stick it in the icon themes and continue to leave themers hands tied. :thumbs:

     

    ..anyone know how to specify which one is used from a gtkrc?

    the star is in /usr/share/pixmaps/mdk

     

    I remove the floppy by commenting it out of fstab.

     

    The trash can be removed by doing this from commandline

    gconftool-2 --type=boolean --set /apps/nautilus/desktop/trash_icon_visible 0

     

    put it back with

    gconftool-2 --type=boolean --set /apps/nautilus/desktop/trash_icon_visible 1

     

    or do it gui by running gconf-editor and going to apps/nautilus/desktop

  17. Lilo, MBR, weird dual boot issue

    A further question which was sparked: is there great advantage to using grub instead? I've never used it but imagine it's basically the same thing.

     

    1. After doing any modifications to the Grub config ( /boot/grub/menu.lst ) you do NOT have to re-run grub to apply them (you may say big deal, but factly when using LILO I had forgot to run /sbin/lilo at least three times after altering the settings, resulting all three times to boot failure!).

    it's a big deal because rewriting the mbr everytime a change is needed is why lilo isn't near as stable as grub and sooner or later, not if - but when, lilo borks things. That's my experience and I know others have never had probs with lilo. That's fine, but it has never been good to me.

    correct...I should have said 9x must be installed 1st partition>master.

    When I got a new hd (master), win98se became the first on the slave and still booted with the map command in grub, but for the sake of keeping it simple, 98%+ do not care to deal with or learn how to do something like that. Point is, you can't install it that way, and who is going to install then rearrange the config, when it's completely unnecesssary. If I remember correctly, the ntloader will not boot a 9x from anywhere but 1st>master........but this is off topic since we are talking about win2k. I do not know how to do it in lilo...I use grub, only.
