I have installed ubuntu 10, 3 weeks ago, and was wondering if there is a way to make, the min - max - close buttons slightly larger, as I've got a neurological problem, also how can I slow the mouse down.
View 2 RepliesI am using Debian Wheezy with LXDE and I am using the monitor resolution as 1280x1024. Now the Window maximize, minimize buttons look tiny and its pretty irritating. Is there anyway I can make them bigger ? I tried googling but whatever documentation I found was regarding GNOME not LXDE since not many people use it. I don't want to try any online themes of Linux just want the buttons to be bigger. Is there anyway ?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI've made some of my own icons in Gimp and saved them as .pngs. The problem is, when I use them they always appear smaller than the system default icons. Is there no way to make them as the same size as the system icons? I read somewhere that GNOME (which is what I use) uses .png .svg and .xpm. I am only able to save as .png with GIMP, is there a way to get .svg and .xpm extension capabilities with GIMP?
These are the icons (only two):
1. HJ-Split Folder
2. Blood Frontier Folder
Is there maybe a specific way to make folder icons that I am not following? Using Ubuntu 9.10, Desktop edition.
I'm setting up Lucid for a friend and I've come across a strange problem - the desktop is bigger than the screen. The laptop is a Fujitsu Amilo Pro V2035 with a VIA S3G Unichrome graphics adapter. The desktop resoltion is 1600 ish - but the actual screen size is 1280x800. I've tried changing this in the Display settings but this results in an unreadable screen (refresh settings at a guess).
View 5 Replies View RelatedSo I installed Jaunty Jackallope and Im really liking it. The thing is when I installed I just let the system do the dual boot partition and I think it assigned Ubuntu a very small amount of hard drive space. Now I want to download some updates and it says it doesnt have enough free space (it only needs like 500 megs so I must have a real small partition). Is there anyway to fix this or do I have to reinstall?? If so, how do I uninstall and do it right?
View 9 Replies View RelatedWhy gnome would make my resolution so much bigger than it actually is (2x my native). I can actually use the other half of my screen. I have to scroll over to the left half, and then I can work like normal. If I wanted to have a black screen, I can drag the courser over to the far right and have my screen be entirely black. I cannot open anything in the black part of the screen.

What soft should I use? Maybe it's sufficient to boot from CD, create new partitions and copy all files from source partitions to destination ones?

View 2 Replies View RelatedThis is my first attempt at upgrading a live ISO file.
Things seem to have worked OK, but the resulting ISO is four times bigger than the original:
I followed the LiveCDCustomization HOWTO:
1. In home directory, mount ISO to explode squashfs in ~/edit, and the rest of the ISO into ~/extract-cd
2. chroot to ~/edit (ie. exploded squashfs), upgrade kernel + applications, and build new initr.gz
3. exit chroot, and rebuild ISO
Does someone know why the ISO ends up being so much bigger?
I have a dvd that is 5 gigs and I want to put it on a dvd that is about 4.4 Gigs. Anyone have an idea of software that will reduce the size of one dvd so I can put it on a dvd of smaller size. My dvds at my house are always getting manged and destroyed so I want to burn a dvd that will take the fall and make another copy of the one I do have. I will never redistribute any burned dvds. I saw a recent supreme court ruling that deemed this and using libdvdcss legal. This really gets me going. When I have a file I want to burn thats 50 Megs bigger than than 4.4gigs on debian systems so it tells me to put in bigger storage, whatever.

Im running a wee Aspire One, 1024*600 with an external monitor 1024*768 (maverick desktop edition- 10.10) I have them set up independently, the external is to the right, and above my aspire. I have set this up in the monitors options. But it seems the desktop environment (although not the backgrounds) extend off to the right of my aspire (under the external) and to the left of my external- (above my aspire).
I know that it may be nit-picking, but it is a right pain when I 'loose' stuff on this phantom desktop space. For example- when i move my cursor into one of these spaces- and have to wiggle it about till it pops onto one of the screens. Also- i'd like my screensaver to pop up on both screens, and span them both- not just be repeated on both...
