is it possible to dock the navigator window in Openoffice with the editor window? it is distrubing when we use the navigator window and it hide most part of the editor window.it would be nice if it works like msword outline window.
View 1 RepliesI want to display cpu temperature and fan speed, network activities, load, etc on a simple window mangement, such as fvwm, wm, or blackbox. Is there a software in slackware packages to show these sensors reading in X windows similar to wmsupermon? I don't want to compile it, if slackware has something same that i can just use.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI like to set my panels larger than default and change their color, but when I upgraded to 10.04, the graphics behind some of the "items" on the panels retain the default color scheme. I know it isn't a big deal but it bugs me. I just created this user acct to show the prob without messing with my main login.
My solution was to use Avant Window Navigator and not use panels at all, but I would like to fix the actual prob.
I am kinda new to linux and avant window navigator is my first dock and im having some trouble. It seems to have fully installed but it does not look very 3D. specifically there is a white box surrounding it.,
View 3 Replies View RelatedHow to get AWN to run on two monitors? I want a bar on each monitor. I used to be able to start two instances using a shell script below but that doesn't seem to be working now.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
killall avant-window-navigator
sleep 4
DISPLAY=:0.0 avant-window-navigator &
sleep 4
DISPLAY=:0.1 avant-window-navigator &
Playing around more with this and it looks like avant no checks to see if there is another instance running and will not start if there is. That is a bummer. Any way to change this?

I decided to bite the bullet and install AWN 0.4 beta, because it supported GnoMenu. However, adding the GnoMenu applet to AWN triggers a UnicodeDecodeError, which looks something like this:
Code:

In Gnome, I don't like how Deb default GUI navigator opens a new window every time you navigate to a lower level. Results in loads of windows open. How to change this behaviour?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been using AWN for years, having a startup script to run multiple instances of AWN and position it on each monitor correctly. This has worked fine but today I decided to upgrade the version of AWN. The only problem now being that the new version doesn't support multiple instances of AWN to be open at once.The new version of AWN does have an 'Add dock' button but that's no good as my setup isn't Xinerama so each monitor is it's own workspace, meaning I can't position the dock far left, because far left is the edge of the current monitor.
The ideal solution here would to be able to run multiple instances, as I can force each instance to a monitor with DISPLAY=0:1 etc.If anybody has any ideas on how to have AWN on each of the 3 monitors then please let me know.

i just got this downloaded and i kinda like it. haven't customized it with apps yet, but i'll get to that later. right now i was wondering if there was any way i can set it to panel mode with only my desktop, yet still have my windows overlapping it.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've tried some more recent builds of Libre Office from Alien Bob and I'm still getting crashes when I try to dock the Navigator panel on the left side of the window for any of the office applications.
Details are in this post. More specifically, I'm running libreoffice-3.2.99.3-i486 from Eric. When I run 'oowriter' (Libreoffice Writer) from the command line, and then try to dock the navigator panel, I get this message after the crash:
Code:
Gtk-Message: (for origin information, set GTK_DEBUG): failed to
retrieve property `GtkOptionMenu::indicator-size' of type
`GtkRequisition' from rc file value "0" of type `glong'
Gtk-Message: (for origin information, set GTK_DEBUG): failed to
retrieve property `GtkOptionMenu::indicator-spacing' of type
`GtkBorder' from rc file value "0" of type `glong'
I don't know if it happens with the 64-bit version or not. I haven't tried it yet. I'm no stranger to submitting bug reports, but I haven't looked closely at Libreoffice's bug submitting procedures. I'll do that soon.
There are a lot of tutorials online for getting at individual features in AWN (or DockBarX), and I understand that not every feature I'm making use of here is necessarily going to be useful to every user - this is an interface tailored to my workflow. Still, if you're new to AWN, here's a quick tutorial on some of the features you'll want to know about to be able to take full advantage of it. The goal here is to configure AWN as an alternative shell to Unity that retains all the same basic features (and a few extra.)
In this tutorial, despite the default settings on everything else, I'm using the (very trendy, I know) Orta theme and Faenza icons. I don't think it's without reason that these are becoming Gnome's Aqua. They're very readable and clean, and they both include a lot of special features (like Orta's extensive appearance configuration options and Faenza's inclusion of special notification tray icons for common apps like Dropbox and Tomboy.)
Although I know there are perfectly good reasons for both options, I'm going to be assuming in this tutorial that you're using a theme with the window buttons on the left, as this is needed for the Unity-style workflow presented. If you don't know how to change this feature, I'll explain it when I mention gconf-editor below.
Ingredients:
We'll need to add two PPAs to your system - one for AWN and one for DockBarX.
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:awn-testing/ppa
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:dockbar-main/ppa
After that, we'll update the package lists, then install these packages.
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator-trunk dockbarx awn-applet-dockbarx xfce4-utils ccsm gconf-editor
[code]....
We're most of the way to a functional-looking desktop, but there's still no Run Dialog when you press Alt+F2, because this is actually a dialog provided by Gnome Panel.Instead, we'll use the one provided by xfce-utils.From the Main Menu at the left, go to Preferences -> Compiz Config Settings Manager (ccsm), then click the Commands tile.
Enter "xfrun4" as Command 0, then click the keybindings tab. Enter whatever keystroke you like, although you might want to make it something other than Alt+F2 to avoid possible conflicts. You could use something like Synapse instead of xfrun4, although xfrun4 will allow you to run more complex commands. Either one will appear when you select Launch from the Main Menu.
I've been following this guide to make my desktop look a little less "defaulty". Take a look.I've done each step up until where I'm supposed to open up Avant Window Navigator.IT REFUSES TO OPEN! I've tried rebooting...nothing. I've tried einstalling...nothing. Configuring it to run upon login...nothing. Agh! I am, however, able to run "Awn Manager" under System > Preferences and change the preferences for my non-existent window dock. I've searched the Internet quite a bit but can't seem to find a solution.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have installed OpenOffice 3.2.0 on Ubuntu 10.04 (64-bit) and all seems to be working ok. Currently, I need to click on
Applications -> Office -> ,,,
and select which OpenOffice module I would like to execute. It would be much easier (and preferred) to be able to execute OpenOffice.org (Main window) directly from an icon in a panel. That is, I would like to have an icon in a panel that when clicked on would bring up the Main window for OpenOffice --- this Main window menu is shown in the attached screenshot.How can I get this single icon to give (when clicked on) this Main window for OpenOffice?
In previous versions of Ubuntu and OpenOffice.org I could easily dock the navigator to the right or left side of the screen by simply moving it there. A faded outline would be created and it would snap into place. In 10.04, I can't do this. Does anyone know how to dock the navigator in OpenOffice.org?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI like to start Emacs as part of a login script and leave it running for the duration of my login session (which is typically weeks).
I have scripts to call emacs-client which will allow me to use a file-manager or Windows Explorer to locate files and right-click to edit them in Emacs.
I often end up with a lot of emacs windows (frames) open and I like to just be able to close them by clicking on the MS-Windows or KDE X button at the top-right.
The trouble is, if the window is the last one, this will shut down emacs which will lose all kinds of interesting history information.
As a work-around I use C-x 5 0 which won't let me close the last frame but this is often not as convenient as using the mouse
Does anyone know how to configure Emacs so that it can intercept the Window-Close button of the last frame to either request confirmation or simply disallow it?
On MS-Windows, disallowing closing of the last window may cause logoff to hang if emacs is still running but I'm not too worried about that.
I had a friend load Ubuntu on my PC. Everything work pretty well except i cant use the effects like rain, fire, wobbly window or drag my window into another one of my desktop. My comp has Radeon HD3100 Graphics card in it. Is there any graphics drivers I can dl to make the stuff work.

View 9 Replies View RelatedIf you don't know, users are able to quickly resize windows using the "ALT+MiddleClick" key shortcut/combo. Basically, hold the ALT key, and mouse middle click and hold on a window. Move the mouse around, and it will resize the window for you.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1) Open a single Window.
2) Near the bottom-right-hand corner of the window, ALT+MiddleClick and drag. It should resize. Great. It works.
What Doesn't Work:
Now, the problem arises when you have multiple windows open on the desktop, they are "layered". i.e. you might have several windows open "behind" the one currently "up front". Example:
If I try to ALT+MiddleClick the "foreground window", it rarely actually resizes THAT window, and instead jumps one of the windows from behind to the front, and resizes that one instead!
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1) Open 3x gnome-terminal windows and say some nautilus window. Place them overtop one another. (like the above image)
2) Try to ALT+MiddleClick the foreground window.
3) Repeat this always trying to grab the foreground window.
For me, the window manager seems to bring some window from the background to the front! Desktop Recording of the Problem: [URL]
Running:
* Ubuntu 10.10
* compiz window manager (the problem does not occur with metacity)
* ATI Radeon RV770 (HD4870) w/ open source Radeon Driver (same problem w/ fglrx driver)
* Versions: [URL]
Is there any command /utility in linux that would Take screen shot of non focused window or minimized Window?
