I just installed Ubuntu 10 for netbooks. I want to change the panel on top, but I can't seem to do anything with it. I right click one of the little buttons, and the 'remove" option is grayed out. On Ubuntu 8, you had to right click a blank space and select "properties", but there is no blank space on this panel so I can't do that.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI want to do is change the icon that the deskbar applet shows in the panel. I've read that you can change the icon that is in the text input box (url), but I've had no luck finding any thing to change the actual panel icon.

The icons in /usr/share/deskbar-applet/art/ don't manipulate this icon.
I'm using the Divergence theme, and I'm loving the transparent top panel. However, the font is dark, so I can't see anything! How can I change the font so it's white, but without changing other system fonts?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI found an old thread from 2005 on how to change the font color on the gnome-panel.
It worked for all applets on the panel except for the notification area and me-menu where the font remains dark.
How can i force the font to a light color on these two applets?
Also as i used the "clarlooks" theme for controls the status indicator is duplicated:
There is one instance in the me-menu and another in the notification area. How can i remove either? I find that the gnome-panel is a real hassle since 10.04. Not only it is not logically constructed, but it is inconsistent and not customisation friendly.
I use Ubuntu 10.10.I wanted to change the background of the gnome panel time and calender applet.I searched about this but only found out dated guides on changing the font in the calender which didnt work.
View 4 Replies View RelatedJust wondering, is there any possible way to manually force the colour change of the panel in ubuntu 11.04. I'm using this theme, /show.p...62&forumpage=5, but by default the panel is white without any gradient (v ugly).

View 1 Replies View RelatedI like my bottom panel to auto hide. I have this setup on 2 computers. On one computer, it's much faster with hiding/showing than the other computer.Could it be a performance thing that effects it? mean, the one that's quicker is a quad core with 4gb of ram, whereas the one that's slower is a pentium 4 with 1gb of ram.

View 3 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to edit the themes in Ubuntu with more control then with the Customize feature? Customize lets you change the all the icons and folder icons to a particular set of icons but does not allow you to individually specify what icons to use for folders and file icons and what icons to use for the icons on the top launch panel that are on the right side of the panel by default like the Bluetooth Icon, UPS Battery status icon temperature and current condition icon in the calendar. Older versions of Ubuntu gave the user more control over how the launch panel looked, I thought I remembered an option to use 3-D icons on the launch panel in older versions of Ubuntu.

I wanted to create another panel on my computer. I created one, which formed directly above one that I already had (at the bottom of one of my two screens). Just out of curiosity I asked it to autohide. That was a big mistake. Now, I am unable to right click to remove or change the panel (the right click menu doesn't appear). This is true for all my panels. I thought logging out might fix it. No luck. Restart. No luck. Now my "top level" panel won't load, which means I don't have access to any of the main menus at all. Basically, the only think I can access at this point is what is on my desktop.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI was having a problem even loading my distro. It turns out I accidently installed wrong drivers (nvidia while I have an Itel chip set) So everytime NVIDIA tried to load it's module and screen setting, it forced a check (fsck) because it couldn't find anything for NVIDIA. I booted in recovery, Changed configuration. # commented out the NVIDIA section, and changed NVIDIA to intel in the display section. Which seems to have worked because it now loads without me having to go into recovery mode, however my screen is abnormaly large and I can only see the center of the desktop. Leaving me unable to reach the panel and change the settings.

However when I do xrandr I get:

Is there a way for me to edit that and any ideas on why it may be doing that?
In a previous version of UBUNTU I was able to enter a NVIDIA control panel to adjust my RGB settings. Now I'd like to change it slightly but there doesn't seem to be a NVIDIA control panel. There used to be two of them. After installing the video driver, If I tried to go into UBUNTU video settings I would get a console message stating I now need to use NVIDIA control panel and would automatically open it for me.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have installed restricted drivers and upgraded system software (I believe all during one session without a start), after restarting my computer the panel style changed to another (ugly) style. I have ensured that I restarted multiple times afterwards and that the system -> pref -> appearance setting is set to "Ambiance."
I have also tried:
Code:
gconftool-2 --shutdown
rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/panel
pkill gnome-panel
and

I have a Dell M6500 w/ an Nvidia graphics card.
It could be noted that I have previously installed Ubuntu on this machine (for testing on another drive) and have upgraded (although possibly in piecemeal) without this problem happening. Any assistance would be appreciated, otherwise I'll likely reinstall as the time to do so has so far been less then trying to fix this problem.
Edit: Did some experimenting, reinstall system and installed the recommended NVidia restricted driver (from the system -> administration menu), I had a choice of "Version 173" and "Recommended," as soon as I did and restarted the retro styling returned, am going to try using the (presumedly) newer driver in a bit.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have had this problem with all installations of Maverick Meerkat. Moving the default clock from the upper panel to the lower panel makes it bahave strangely. When clicked on, it now appears in the middle of the screen (sometimes even higher depending on resolution). This never happened prior to Maverick Meerkat.
How do I go about to fix this strange bug?
Attached is a screen shot of what I mean.
Regarding the gnome-panel in Ubuntu (64 bit).... I discovered some time ago that I wasn't the only one who routinely (every login) had their gnome-panel appear butchered, for which Alt-F2 then 'killall gnome-panel' would easily fix.
Having become impatient with this over the past 8 months, I decided I would automate the process and so cofiguring the startup applications seemed like a perfectly logical choice to me. Turns out I was wrong. After adding 'killall gnome-panel' to the startup applications not only does the panel fail to load altogether now, but Alt-F2 doesn't even work.
I tried Ctl-Alt-F1 and working with the graphics-free mode thinking I could somehow navigate to the startup apps config file and edit it, but I don't know where it is or how to edit it without logging in as root and I certainly don't know of any 'root password'.
