View 7 RepliesI am using conky 1.8.0-1.1 in my debian box. My wallpaper changes automatically after every 15 min. Based on the color sometimes it is difficult to understand the conky message. That's why I need semi-transparency which can be controlled upto a level where I can read conky easily. I have already tried with without any success

In the past I've been using the work around with feh to grab a copy of the image used for the background in KDE, however with the upgrade to Slackware 13.1 / KDE 4.4.3 this no longer happens.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI am using Ubuntu 11.04 and installed conky; I'm using the configuration attached, but as I do not know very much about it I do not know how to fix this. Every time I start ubuntu, conky shows above all other windows with a transparent space above it; every window I open appears as it is below conky (first image). To fix this I have to open the conky file and save it to reload it and then it stars again as it should (second image). Is there something I have to change in the conky file so whenever I start Ubuntu it shows as the second picture?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm involved in a project to students set up a network security training lab using vmware. I want to simulate (in a very rough way) scanning through a poorly configured router or firewall. The easiest way I can think of to simulate this is to use a linux vmware image with two virtual nic cards to act as a firewall with the attacker on the outside network and a domain controller, web server, and database server on the inside network.
I would like to start students off with a firewall script that exposes everything on their internal network to the attacker. Is there an easy way to (mis)configure iptables to do this?. The model I'm trying to replicate is something like this. Attackers were on a 10.10.x.x network, defenders were on a 192.168.x.x network. As an attacker I could nmap 192.168.x.x and see every machine and every service on the defenders side even if they moved a service to an unexpected location. how I can implement a similar configuration using a linux image as firewalls/routers in vmware?
Have two questions:
1)Is that possible to disable the mouse or make it transparent in ubuntu 9.10?
2)Is that possible to change the ugly boot icon?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI found out how to make the panels fully transparent so I thought I would share it with others. When you set the panel to be transparent in the default Ambiance theme in Ubuntu 10.04, you will find that some panel items' backgrounds are not transparent, but you can make them transparent and consistent with others, following these steps:
Go to Applications (or Main Menu) > Accessories > Terminal.
Enter cp -R /usr/share/themes/Ambiance ~/.themes/
Enter gedit ~/.themes/Ambiance/gtk-2.0/gtkrc to open Ambiance's ftkrc file with gedit.
Search for this line bg_pixmap[NORMAL] = "panel_bg.png"
Comment out the line by placing a # at the beginning of the line, like this: # bg_pixmap[NORMAL] = "panel_bg.png"
Save the gtkrc file.
Go to System > Preferences > Appearance, switch to the other theme and then back to the Ambiance theme.
How do I make the panel solid and not transparent as seen in the attached image.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI like the compositor options I get from Xubuntu rather Ubuntu because I havent really found a way to make the inactive windows transparent in Ubuntu. But I also like the transparency options I get for the panels on Ubuntu. I can make the panel transparent but keep the icons and text and Im pretty sure launchers not. Is there a way I can edit the panels in such a way in Xubuntu or vise versa for Ubuntu with the compositor options on Xubuntu?

I've been trying to make the menu bar transparent on ubuntu 9.1 but i don't know how. I've looked it up and many places tell me how to do it on CCSM but apparently my menus on CCSM are different. They tell me to go to the Opacity Settings tab an then enter certain values on dock, menu, dropdown, and popupmenu but i dont have those tabs.....
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy gnome panel currently looks like this:
The panel is not expanded and the autohide buttons are not checked. As you can see I've set the background to transparent and removed the shadow via ccsm. The only thing that doesn't look nice are the "grabbers" to move the panel arround. Can they be modified to be transparent too? Maybe editing the theme?
I cannot set the panel to expand because I use a dock which would be partly covered by the panel.
Does anyone have a clue as to how to make the top and bottom panels transparent in 10.4 xubuntu?
There are no options in the settings menus to set this - none that work ffor me anyhoo. And 'right clicking' on the panels does not give this option.
Maybe a command line, er, command?c
Does anyone know how to set the background of a terminal to be an image, and not have it slightly transparent? I've set an image as my Terminal background, but now when I open a terminal over other applications I can see those applications through my Terminal background.
