When I hoover over toolbar menu entries like "System" then currently tooltips (with black background) appear like. "Change system appearance and behaviour, How can I disable these tooltips (for the standard Ubuntu menues only, if possible) ?
since i installed 10.04 i have noticed constant and irritating tips which ubuntu keeps providing soon as the pointer rests just about anywhere.my irritation was further aggravated when i began using open office. simply exploring the menus to check up on its differences with MS office became quite a task. i had to constantly keep moving the cursor in order to be able to see what the main menus in the open office program had to say
I am using Tiny Menu extension on my firefox so that I have to disable Navigation toolbar. I do so but everytime when I reopen the firefox I see that it is active again. What can I do? I am usinng firefox 3.6.3 on my ubuntu 10.04 machine(upgraded from 9.10).
I have been working for the last three months with Ubuntu 10 on a destop. Doing just fine and loving it. I decided to try a new position for the toolbar that sits at the top of the screen. I did a right click and moved it to the right side of the scree, didn't like the look of that. Right click on the bar and moved it to the left, didn't like that either, so moved it to the bottom. having done all that I thought I could put it back at the top but alas, I can not right click on the Toolbar.
It seems as though the two bars are fighting each other at the bottom of the screen.I would like to go back to the default position at the top of the screen. I do have a terminal window available to me on the desktop so if I could find out the command line to type in, I should be able to reset my tool bar. Being new I have no idea what this command would be.
So after I went to OMG ubuntu site and downloaded "complex shutdown" since it looked useful and I needed it I installed it..but it doesnt seem to start up for some reason so when I went to uninstall it software center went "blank" just a grey screen with the black toolbar
for some reason the ubuntu devs decided to disable tooltips for indicators (when you hover over a tray applet like rhythmbox and information is presented). is there any way to enable it in lucid?
Each time a cursor hovers above icons or application launcher in the panel, tooltips pop up immediately. It bothers. But I did not find where to switch them off. I found it for the task manager, but not the panel itself. Is it possible anyway?
I upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 and now if I leave my computer inactive for 5 minutes it goes black and then I have to enter my password. This is really annoying when I am streaming videos or watching movies. I have gone through all the admin and preferences and can't find how to turn this off or even how to change the time for going into stand-by. I would expect it to be in the power management but it isn't there.
I've been having an issue for the past several months where, when Compiz is enabled, items with tooltips will not show the tooltip when hovered over until I move the mouse slightly. To see a demonstration of this, go here. Note that this does not happen when Metacity is enabled instead of Compiz. The other part of this issue is that some dropdown menu items will not appear until I mouse over them, similarly to the problem with tooltips. You can see a brief demonstration of that in the final few seconds of the first video, but it can be seen in more detail here. Despite the title, the problem appears in both Wine and native applications.Similarly to the first problem, this issue does not occur when Metacity is enabled in place of Compiz.
It took me a while to find a post that solved my problem, so I thought I'd try to make it easier for others with the same problem to find the solution.If you are using Skype with a dark themed lucid lynx 10.04, you may find that your Skype menus appeardark and unreadable, and that tooltips (when you move your mouse over a contact) appear pale and unreadable. You can find the solution here:

I have Adblock and a bunch of other add-ons installed on Firefox. When I boot up and then start Firefox- the addon icons appear in/on Firefox's tool bar.
IF....I close Firefox and start it again the addon icons aren't on the tool bar or, like Ghostery, at the bottom of the screen...I think it's called the status bar.
I have managed to delete the DropBox and network applet icons from the upper tool bar in Ubuntu 10.10. I have not been successful in figuring out how to restore them. how to restore them.
Since I've switched to 10.10 NBR the date has gone missing from the toolbar at the top. Everything is fine when I click the time, I still get the calendar and everything. They probably just moved it away to save space up there but I appreciate always having the date easily visible.I've searched through all the personalization options, but I can't seem to figure out how to have the date still showing right next to the time like it used to.
I want to know whether there is any way to create a toolbar just like windows taskbar toolbar, in which i can place my music folder and click on it to see the sub-folders-tree. Like this one:-
Is it possible to drag and drop the icons you want from the standard and formatting toolbars onto just one toolbar? then I can claim some more vertical space?What do most people here use on ubuntu? Abiword or Writer?
I had been using Amarok 1.4 with no problems, but somehow in trying to fix the 'Launching HTTP Cache' bug, I made the Amarok toolbar icons disappear and be replaced with an image of a page. The only thing I did was install qt3-qtconfig and systemsettings, then removed them because they were not able to help me fix the HTTP cache bug, and they also altered my pointer to KDE-style. After removal and a system restart, Amarok looks like the screenshot I took. how to get the icons back?
How can I change the boring grey of the Window tool bar in Ubuntu? I have tried "System>Preferences>Appearances", Compize, Emerald GNOME Colour Chooser and non of them allow me to change the tool bar colour. I have also done many extensive searches on forums, but I cannot find one topic on this adjustment. Lots about fonts, window boarders and so on. I can change everything else but the tool bar colour.
I just recently installed Nautilus, or upgraded, from whatever was pre-installed with Ubuntu 9.10. I accidentally clicked Hide Menu toolbar, which apparently in this, there's no way to unhide it. The only thing showing now is the Sidebar, and I don't know how to get any of the toolbars back. [URL]
I upgraded to Lucid today and noticed that toolbar spacing/sizing is HUGE. In eclipse it is making my once single line toolbar wrap down to too. There is a ton of waisted space here.
I have installed the new Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and do not see where I can change the toolbar icon settings such that I only display icons, not text labels beside the icons. Does anyone know how to fix this?
I just found out that my Volume Applet is missing so I cant fade the volume in or out anymore (only with the "FN + Left or Right)and I cant install it anymore.
i have a question about customising the toolbar in the file explorer, which i think is called nautilus. i was able to add a few buttons by hacking about in /usr/share/nautilus/ui/nautilus-navigation-window-ui.xml ..but they were already defined actions. what i would really like to add is custom launchers. i have whipped up a python script that will foo and bar a glob of files in a directory, which i can pass as an argument to the script, and i would like this to be a toolbar button so i can just click an icon up there. so the launcher would need to know what directory is open in the tab which is in focus, or alternatively be able to launch from that directory as current working directory and then i can dig out the path in python. a keyboard shortcut for the launcher would be nice too
my Ubunbtu has upgraded to 11.04. However when I open gimp the toolbar across the top of the image has vanished, even if if move the pointer to where it should be there's nothing? can some one tell me how to get it up.*by toolbar I mean the file edit etc bar.
