    thanks

  2. yup well your method works Aru.

     

    The only 'problem' as such was that things like all the applications that somehow use a path to your old directories need to be reconfigured eg if you have selected a background and altered your startup file to remember the background you have to tell it your background is now elsewhere, and firefox configuration for telling it where to download files has to be changed.

     

    Wasnt much of a problem for me as i hadnt configured much specific to my folders. :thanks:

  3. hm ok well ive installed gdesklets in gnome but when i try to run the shell i get

     

    ISensor:
    ITime:
    .3/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py:90: GtkDeprecationWarning: gtk.mainloop is deprecated, use gtk.main instead
     self.warn(message, DeprecationWarning)

     

    any ideas? thanks

  4. um i want to change my login name (not make a new one) to something else. In user admin i can do this but is it safe to do so?

     

    would i just change my login name? and leave the home directory as it is? or do i change both and the system renames everything?

     

    thanks

  5. heya

     

    ok ive got along way customising my own fluxbox. But how do i put icons on the desktop for easy access? using the right click menus all well and good (and terminal) but some icons would be nice. As yet ive yet to find the solution

     

    can anyone :help:

     

    thanks

  6. ok i got fluxbox on using the how to guide, and installed a new theme.

     

    i can use the command to place the background in, but i cant find the init file to edit so i can make the background permament. how do i get to it? ive looked everywhere that i can think? :(

  7. Heya

     

    ok well what i mean is that there is so many alternatives to what desktop i should use : kde/gnome/fluxbox etc and then theres the customisation.

     

    My plan is to use a theme and then when i am more confident on what im doing , to either customise heavily or attemp at making my own from a base.

     

    So, basically im after ideas of a theme i can download/install - it has to be a theme that is useful for a programmer (html/asp/php/mysql/c++ etc) - what i mean by that is it needs to look sharp/crisp. Im not bothered about a flashy background, just something good on the eye as programming takes alot of concentration. The transparency ability indeed add to the programming look. (please dont think complete cyborg,space as a theme :P )

     

    can anyone suggest a theme and its location? chances are i will go for a fluxbox enviromnent as ive checked out what it can do and im most impressed! Not that the others arnt good, they are, just my preference.

     

    thanks
