See, I like the KDE (like Kubuntu) but I dislike the menu bars and the taskbar (though I like the setup of it once the menu button is opened), and I much prefer GNOME's icons and bars, is there any way I can do this?
View 3 RepliesI'm looking for a way to hide the icons in the Gnome menu bar.
The only thing i've found is the gconf-editor and unchecking /desktop/gnome/interface/menus_have_icons, but that only affects the System menu and not Applications and Places...
Example:

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have noticed in my pc (i386) and my ps3 (ppc64) under FC12 gnome 2.28 that some icons from some menus doesn't always appear, like in:
Places: Connect Server | Search for Files
System: all
"User name": all
Is this some sort of bug? Or I have done something wrong?
somewhere along the line I disabled the description that appears below icons in all gnome application menus. I don't know how I did it, and I cannot seem to find the way to undo it I would like full descriptions under the icons in my menus. I tried System -> Preferences -> Appearance but could not find what I was looking for. I also tried System -> Preferences -> File Management. Neither seems to help me out. This is not an urgent problem, but an annoying one.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm running Ubuntu 10.10 on my Cr48 (google beta laptop), which is downloaded from Google.
After a while of using it (it varies, and has been about 30 minutes recently), the menu bars at the top and bottom of the screen disappear.
Webpages perpetually load... but never do. Browser chats still work with people, I just cant load new web pages.
When I hit the power button and am prompted with three shutdown options, the top and bottom icon are red circles with a white X (like it cant load the icon), and all the text is just boxes like it cant load the symbols.
I have to hard reset the whole computer by pulling the battery.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have opensuse 11.2 64 bit with the latest Nvidia drivers on a Gnome desktop; out of the box compiz 7.8 worked great. I had no intention of upgrading but I did with the upgrade to 8.4. Everything upgraded fine except I lost my menu bars on all screens when they were opened. I downgraded back down to 7.8 and still the same issue. Right now I have no compiz on so I can have have my menu bars. There is something I must be missing when I installed or reinstalled or upgraded compiz. I would like to get an original compiz setup that a fresh install gives.
View 9 Replies View RelatedHow do I reset unity when I've lost my left side menu bar and the bar at the top is also gone? Pressing Alt /f2 doesn't doesn't come up either so I can't type 'unity --reset' I guess that's the command for restoring defaults to the screen. Rebooting the system the same thing happens. It appears to be locked up without menu's and function keys
View 9 Replies View RelatedAfter upgrading to Natty from the previous version and switching to Ubuntu Classic my compiz settings were completely wiped out. No problem, I just re-entered them. The problem is that I don't get any menu bar on my windows. It also happens once in a while in Metacity but using the compiz fusion icon utility to reload the window manager will usually fix the issue. I have had this problem intermittently in the past but have always been able to resolve it by reloading the window manager. Now when I'm using compiz I ALWAYS have this issue and it makes compiz unusable. Compiz is not just eye-candy for me, it has become integral to the way I use my computer. If anyone has any ideas I'm all ears.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've got a fresh install of Natty on my Dell Studio 17 laptop. The screen on the laptop doesn't work so I have it plugged into my Panasonic TV with an HDMI cable.

I've messed with every setting available on the TV and nothing has helped.Can anyone provide any advice? I've started messing around with xrandHere is the output of 'xrandr':

I just set up a separate monitor, I am running Ubuntu 10.04, I use the nVidia graphics driver, Now the Bars on the top and the bottom of the screen won't appear and can't be used. I rebooted w/ out the second monitor and now it disabled itself. I can't get the terminal option at the login screen. When I rebooted the first time w/ the second screen icon's on the desktop appeared. Now nothing appears, but the background. I opened up my browser (Google Chrome) by my key combinations for those who are wondering how I posted this.
View 1 Replies View RelatedThe theme I have chosen in Ubuntu 10.04 (Ambiance with buttons in the upper right-hand corner) is not applied to the menu bars at boot/login. Menu and title bars should be very dark with a white font. When I boot the computer, the application title bar is correctly formatted, but the main menu bar of gnome and the menu bars of all applications are black font on gray background. When I open the theme selection (in German Einstellungen | Erscheinungsbild, in English likely something like Preferences | Appearance).
The correct theme is applied to menu bars without that I have to select the theme again; simply opening the Appearance dialog suffices. First I did not name my modified theme (showed up as first theme in the theme selection dialog, user modified). In trying to solve the above issue I gave the theme a name, but the strange behaviour persists. Where I can make the theme automatically and completely applied at boot.
Spent the past hour trying to figure this out, it's not happening. I have no menu bars in programs or em, file explorer?
Ex: I open playonlinux and at the top.. no file | tools | edit | etc. | etc.
This is on pinguy (ubuntu) btw.
My gnome menu bars suddenly froze for no reason. On the top, the system menu is open, but I can't click on anything. I tried Alt+F2, but I can't type anything in the popup or even close out of it. The bottom bar is also frozen, so I can't even switch between programs. The only thing that is working is nautilus, which I used to open Chrome. So without being able to run an application and since I don't know how to open a terminal with nautilus.

I'm using Filezilla in Natty and it keeps bringing up its own menu bar in its own window.
Obviously I want all my applications to only use the top new Global Appmenu Bar. It currently makes Filezilla look ugly and take up additional unwanted screen space.
Libreoffice fixes are all I can find. Does anyone know how to stop an application from using its own menu bar, and force it to only use the Global App Menu?
Having installed Mint 8 ,then mint 7, both (Gnome), I have been unable to access open offices menu bars in neither Writer ,spreadsheet,etc. Then I tried Abiword, where I saw the Menu bar, but could not enter text, just gibberish.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI've just installed Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit.
It came up saying I could install 2 proprietary drivers, one for my WiFi adapter (which works perfectly) and one for my graphics card - a Sapphire AIT Radeon HD 5770 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card. The driver is called ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver. Before installing this driver I was unable to have Extra Visual Effects in Appearances. However after installing (and restarting) the menu bars are now in a basic light gray mode, rather than the sleek Ubuntu black. - Although Extra Visual Effects does now work. I've tried rebooting, and I've had a look around in ATI "Catalyst Control Center" but nothing has worked so far.
Does anybody know what this windows mode is, how to change it back to normal and why it's doing it in the first place?

This is also the first time I've installed Ubuntu on my computer, and am keen for it to work.
I recently installed virtual box on debian and after it had finished my terminal informed me that I could remove some "unnecessary" software by use of sudo apt-get autoremove. When I did this, some of the icons on the desktop changed and all of the icons in the drop down menu on the bar at the top of the screen also changed to ordinary folder symbols. The theme that I was using also went away. I restarted the computer and it booted back into a shell prompt with no GUI. I tried to get back to the GUI using alt+f7 but it didn't seem to exist
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm running F13 on a HP laptop. I've been about 10 days with no internet connection. Yesterday I got internet again, and I did a package update.
After that, I rebooted and both top and bottom bars were gone from my Gnome desktop. I couldn't retrieve them anymore.
What can I do to get them back?
I just recently installed Lenny 5.04 on my computer and when it comes to the desktop the top and bottom bars seem to be set for a lower resolution. They only go about a third of the way across the screen and if set to be at the bottom the bottom bar is only a third of the way down the screen. The logon window fits this format but most other things go full screen (games don't though).
What is it I need to change and as an aside how do I change the screen resolution if I want everything bigger (so I can read it with my old eyes)
So I've been testing Gnome Do and I now want to activate docky. To do that I have to activate the desktop effects, so I installed drivers for my graphics card which work fine. But I have an infamous issue with my compiz which causes all title bars of windows to disappear. Is there a solution in which I can activate docky and still have my title bars?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been having trouble with rendering issues in Gnome for the past few weeks, running Sid on x86_64, Occasionally Blue and Grey horizontal bars show up, they go away partially if I scroll up or down, and the bars disappear completely if the window is resized. Select characters/letters will also occasionally become garbled, if I change the font in Gnome Tweak Tool it seems to temporarily fix the issue though.
