View 5 Replies View RelatedI've been using Konqueror for years, but I hadn't ever tried playing with the Appearance > Stylesheets settings in the Settings > Options > WebBrowsing menu. Now, I'm regretting it.
Here's exactly what I did:
1. Went to that Appearance > Stylesheets and clicked on "Use accessibility stylesheet," then Customize.
2. The "Suppress Background Images" option was checked. I unchecked it, because I wanted it to display them.
3. Clicked Close, then Apply.
Then I reloaded a page, and for some reason, it wouldn't display the background images! (Odd, because I unchecked that box.) So I went back into the same menu, chose "Use default stylesheet", OK, and reloaded the page. Nothing changed. Now, every web page I go to doesn't display background images. Other than that, everything looks identical -- it's obviously loading each website's stylesheet, because all of the DIVs and such are in the right place wherever I go. Just . . . no background images.
I have managet to customize my logon screen the way i want it,
1.
Problem is i do not wish to have background imege at bootsplash screen (still want to receive option how to boot just simple text);
2.
And later when system is loading modules and starting i just want to have simple black background on my screen, with nice text (verbose) telling me what is done.

I am making a simple snake game and have problem when loading the images (apple, snakes head, snakes body). When running this code, I just see the JPanel with black background which I have created. where is my mistake?
I highlighted my code with image and paint method.
Code:
I've 3 hosts images installed in virtualbox, that every time I reboot an image, the ip address change.
The 3 images are ubuntu.
I would like to configure these images in a way that, every time I reboot the images, I can access them by the name, and not by the ip.

But i found one annoying thing, when we change background of the top panel, it does not change background of the menu (Applications Places etc).Actually I have shifted the top panel to left, It doesn't look good due to repeating background image vertically

I'm installing ubuntu on some (non-networked) computers at my school, and I don't want the students to change the background on the desktop. I don't care if they change it during their session, but it must revert to the default when the session is logged-out or shutdown.
View 1 Replies View RelatedBeen trying to get mac4lin to work, and in the process, I attempted uninstalling, rebooting, then reinstalling gtk-engines-pixbuf. This has now screwed my system so that the background is a light grey and any attempt to change the wallpaper just makes X crash, forcing me to Ctrl Alt Backspace. I'd rather avoid a reinstall of the system since I have it customized to my needs, so is there a solution to this? I tried reinstalling the pixbufs package, but no dice.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI was configuring the vnc server or remote desktop using the "gconf-editor" -- "desktop - gnome - remote_access" pane, and first I clicked on "disable background" to see if it was usefull or not to disable it (in terms of speed). It worked fine but sometimes when closing the connection, the background refuses to reenable, mantaining the black background...
That's ok, I decided to disable the feature and share via vnc the background as it is a wired net and I do not really need this feature.
My surprise is that now, whith the feature DISABLE (box unchecked), I cannot set a background, it is always black and I find no way to go back in this...
is this common, or something that can be "easily" fixed?
I know how to change the colors of the panels. But on the parts were the ubuntu symbol, the menus (Applications, Places, and Systems), the date and time, and the indicator applets is, they do not change at all. And pretty much the same problem on the bottom panel.
I tried Gnome color changer but only works for the texts and the drop down menus. I use Gnome classic (hated Unity). My goal is to make ALL of the panel background black.
I want to change the color of the background in this window (see screenshot)without changing themes. Whats the best way to do this?
View 9 Replies View RelatedAfter installing gnome-color-chooser for Ubuntu 10.10, I followed all the steps to enable transparent gnome menu. When I logged out and logged back into my user, the gnome panel menu was transparent as It should be however, the desktop background changed color and I cannot change the desktop by right clicking the desktop. If I do right click and try to, the entire desktop and all programs freeze. The mouse works but that is it. Whenever I try to open gnome-color-chooser, I get this error message : ERROR Could not open or create file /home/User/.gtkrc-2.0-gnome-color-chooser. I have uninstalled and reinstalled both gnome color chooser and gnome panel with no luck.

I do need to change or edit this white Ubuntu logo on the black background that comes right after GRUB and before my xsplash is played. How do I do that? Where is that picture saved in the system?
I have edited my xsplash the way I want it by changing the pictures in /usr/share/image/xsplash but cant find a way to edit this other bootup screen.
After much searching and trying of more complicated methods for changing the GRUB-PC background image, i found method that seems to work. The simplest one! I installed grub2-splashimages, which created a new folder in /usr/share/images, called grub. From there it appears to be as simple as adding the image of your choice, then adding "GRUB_BACKGROUND=/usr/share/images/grub/your_image" to "/etc/default/grub" file, the running "update-grub", of course.
Only problem is it doesnt work for the image i really want. So my question: What qualities should an image have if it is to be successfully used as a GRUB-PC (GRUB 2?) background? I have read that you do not need to resize the image anymore, indeed i tried resizing it to match the size a default image form the "/usr/share/images/grub" folder , and saving it with the extension .tga in Gimp and it did not work. The image i want to use is quite large, it is also black and white/grey-scale and in the .png format.
I want to change the background image for a Plymouth theme on FC13. I'musing spinfinity and I'd like to just have a blank background or somesolid color rather than the Fedora logo. I've found the sprites in /usr/share/plymouth/themes/spinfinity.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI added an entry to grub's menu.lst and reran grub (grub-install hd0) and now my background is gone and the entries just show up like on a normal console.
I searched the forums and I couldn't find anything. Does anybody know why this happened and how to fix it?
I have not changed anything in menu.lst except for adding the new OS.
How do I get it to display a different desktop background for each desktop? I'm sure I saw this option somewhere, but I can't find it again.
Secondly, it defaults with 4 desktops in a 2X2 grid layout. I changed it to 2, then back to 4 and now it has 4 desktops in a linear layout (1x4). How can I change it back to 2X2?
