I just wonder what application you use to show the system info at the top toolbar.. Looks like you have graphs for network/cpu memory use..

Thanks heaps Kris. Fast and easy to understand. The way it should be.

Do you mind if I add your page, as a link in my forum? I have a new Ubuntu section and this could really help people get started with a different look.

Thanks again.

Normally you can change the splash screen background colour in the Login Window dialogue, under the Local tab, changing the Background Colour option.

However in Ubuntu 7.10 I can not get the colour change, I'm stuck with that yucky fleshy ubuntu colour.
I'm sorry I can't be of more help, yet this appears to be a bug.

when playing around with the different themes and splash screens, I noticed that the screen that appears after the splash screen while the desktop is loading remains as the ubuntu orange background...I changed the desktop theme, desktop color, splash screen, but I can't get rid of the orange screen...any suggestions?

I don't know which version of Ubuntu you are using, yet mine clearly does things this way, therefore I have no idea what on earth you are talking about. If you had of told me who you where I could have discussed this with you.

However here is a screenshot of my Appearance dialogue which clearly shows that "AFTER" you customise a theme a Custom theme appears, and you can save it.

Came across "themes in Ubuntu 7.10" seems
something is missing in the below section.
*
# hen click the 'Customize' button.
# From the Controls tab select Blubuntu
# From the Window Border tab select Blubuntu
# Select an icon set that you like, I chose Mist.
# Then close the customize dialogue
# In the Appearance Preferences dialogue you will see a new theme called: Custom (written in italics)
# Click the 'Save As' button at the bottom and Name your new theme Blubuntu.
****************************************
# In the Appearance Preferences dialogue you will see a new theme called: Custom (written in italics)
No such item appears with 'Custom" or a save as button or ability to Name the new theme.

Thanks. This is a nice artice that beginers would understand. I must say that I like the dark themes, only every one seems to have an anoying flaw with it. One day I will make my own. :)
