Ubuntu :: Disable "aero Snap" Function When Dragging Windows To Screen Edges?
May 2, 2011i would like to disable the aero snap function when using the mouse to drag a window to screen edges... i like to keep multiple small windows with various sizes at the edges of the screen (i.e. with media players listening to music or watching videos to have the screen in one corner while using the remainder of the screen for something else)
i would still like to keep this function with hotkeys (<super> + up/down/left/right) is there any way to work around this?
Ubuntu :: How To Make Panels Fully Transparent
Aug 20, 2010I 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.
Ubuntu :: Make Top And Bottom Panels Transparent In 10.4 Xubuntu?
Jul 11, 2010Does 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

View 4 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Two Panels At Screen Top - Panels Lose Order On Reboot
May 12, 2011I find that I prefer have both panels located at the screen top. That way I don't have to go to the bottom of the screen for one thing, then back to the top for another. I arranged the panel so the regular top one is on top,then the panel that contains the open applications is underneath.The problem is, when I reboot, the panels lose their order. First, the regular top panel initializes, then the bottom ones starts and pushes the first panel down, which becomes what you see in the picture: I would like to find a way to keep them in the opposite order of what you see in the picture, but every time I reboot they end up in that order.
View 4 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Windows Stuck To Gnome Panels
Oct 31, 2010I installed Ubuntu 10.10 in Virtual Box and while using Normal visual effects I get an odd problem with the windows. When a window touches the top or bottom Gnome panels it gets stuck there and I cannot move it away from the panel. Trying to drag the window causes the window to slowly slide to the right along the panel till it goes off the screen and finally pops free.If I turn visual effects to none the problem goes away leading me to conclude it is a problem with Compiz. Any ideas what is going wrong for me? It should be easily reproducible with the current Virtual Box software, Ubuntu 10.10 64bit desktop, and the repository versions of the Virtual Box guest additions.

View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: 9.10 - Unable To Make Windows 7 To Boot
Mar 17, 2010So here is the deal, I have my wifes computer set up to dual-boot Ubuntu 9.10 and Windows 7. She uses a HP G60-445DX laptop, and something very funky is going on.
1. I first installed Windows 7, and it boots fine multiple times with no problem.
2. Next, I install Ubuntu 9.10. After installation is finished, I select reboot, and choose Windows 7. It boots fine.
3. Then, I reboot into the newly installed Ubuntu for the first time, get to the desktop, and reboot.
4. Now when I select to boot Windows 7, it gets about half-way, and suddenly reboots the computer.
I've troubleshooted this thing for days on end trying to isolate exactly what is causing Windows 7 not to boot. After reinstalling Windows 7 again, it once again boots fine, even after I use the live CD to restore Grub 2. It's only after I boot the fully installed Ubuntu 9.10 that her Windows 7 install starts acting weird. All I can narrow it down to is that after I boot into Ubuntu for the first time (after an install), Windows 7 no longer boots properly.
Ubuntu :: Grub2 Does Not Detect Windows XP On U9.10 / Make It Possible?
Apr 2, 2010I installed Ubuntu 9.10 yesterday on my computer. I had Windows XP and Windows 7 (I deleted the Windows 7 partition and installed Ubuntu 9.10). However, after installing Ubuntu, I couldn't access the grub boot menu. So I googled, and I found out how to make the menu show up again. That was okay. But Windows XP didn't show up. So I googled a bit more, searched the forums, and I added the following entry to my 40_custom file code...
As far as I know, that should work. The uuid I entered there is the one that gparted told me was the uuid of the partition. However, this isn't working. I get a disk read error when I try to boot my Windows XP.
According to my gparted, my Windows XP drive is inside an extended partition? I wonder if that has any influence on why I'm getting the disk read error, or anything. It's either that, or my 40_custom entry is wrong. I've been trying to sort this out for a while now, and I'm afraid I'm not getting anywhere with it.
Ubuntu :: Make These Types Of Windows Smaller?
Apr 25, 2010I've noticed this issue for a long time now, and it's always bothered me. Whenever I have to open a file within a program or upload something to a website, etc., the window that pops up is always HUGE. The reason is due to the list of file types at the bottom. Instead of cutting off with an ellipsis at some point, every single applicable file type is listed. I can't resize these windows, either, so they always take up my entire screen. Is there any way to fix this so that these kinds of windows are a more reasonable size?

Mar 9, 2011I'm trying to find a way to make my Windows key the shortcut to opening my start panel in Lubuntu. I've found easy instructions for Ubuntu, but Lubuntu doesn't have the keyboard shortcuts utility that Ubuntu has (at least I can't find it).
I found some instructions for editing a config file but I can't find the command for opening the panel, and I've seen conflicting information about how the Windows key is written (some say W, some say Super_L), so I hesitate to start playing around with that file when I'm only guessing.

Mar 19, 2011I 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?
First Screenshot is Ubuntu
Second Screen shot is Xubuntu
I want the red transparent panel from Ubuntu on Xubuntu or the compositing style from Xubuntu to Ubuntu.
