deltIt's actually just a modified version of Greybird, with osx titlebar buttons and a thicker lower-window border. Any screenshots of this on your system would be VERY appreciated ---> www.deimos.ca/miscjunk/greybird-mac.tar.gz01:29
deltuh.... i mean http://www.deimos.ca/miscjunk/greybird-mac.tar.gz01:30

kasadso, doing favour to a friend, who needs old machine "renewed" and adapted so his mother can follor something online01:52
kasadthey have 200 gig ntfs data partition01:52
kasadI have 55 gig free01:53
kasadwhat partition scheme do you recommend for xubuntu for those 55 gig01:53
kasad double the ram for /swap and rest /01:53
kasadis that ok?01:53
kasadand should I use ext4 for /01:53
kasadalso should I maybe separate /home to diff partition?01:54
wolf1i would recommend a separate /home partition kasad  and i would use ext401:55
bazhangext4 is really de rigeur for /01:57
bazhangperhaps you were thinking of /boot01:57
kasadde rigeur?01:58
kasadso separate /boot / and /home01:58
bazhangde rigeur = a must02:00
bazhang /boot is optional, but better not to use btrfs for that02:00
deltkasad: for swap, at least the amount of ram you have, maybe more depending what you want to do.02:07
deltkasad: and yeah, a small primary partition for /boot, otherwise your system won't be able to boot on some motherboard/bios setups.... 1 or 2 GB should be enough for /boot02:08
deltthe rest you can simply leave for / ....unless you have some fancy configuration with several hard disks or something02:09
deltif you want to install across, say 2 harddisks/partitions, personally i'd put the smaller one as / and the larger one as /home02:16

=== SonikkuAmerica_ is now known as SonikkuAmerica
brainwashan alternative approach would be to right click on the file in the file manager and set it as wallpaper14:07
sunsetjessiellet me try that14:08
brainwashyour problem does seem to be a common one. I've only heard about missing preview pictures in the desktop settings window14:09
