Gnome

Mock-up and a proof-of-concept extension posted a couple days ago by Allan Day. It replaces the Activities button with a workspaces indicator.

I think it looks promising! It's more useful than just text, and looks pretty slick. Plus, you can scroll on it to change workspaces!

You guys know a good extension to make terminal work in quake mode?

Thanks!

HI everyone, I really like gnome, mainly because I have a small screen and the taskbar is thin so I have much more space while still able to have information about the system.

But one problem I am facing is the window buttons aren't the same across the system.

For example firefox shows the buttons according my theme:

Now for example, the file/directory explorer (nautilus right?):

These are my appearance settings:

Am I doing something wrong?

There is so much wasted space on my screen here, would love to add a few rows to I don't have to scroll through pages to find the app I'm looking for.

Thanks!

Hej, I noticed an odd problem with my Gnome search recently. That thing that starts searching when the "super-key" is pressed (or the smart corner is triggered). When I start typing some text Gnome starts searching in all kinds of corners of the PC.

That is until my NAS system is not responding. It's automounted to ~/NAS/ and when that remote box is busy I get a complete freeze of my desktop. As in no HID device has any effect. Just seeing occasional disk activity (blinky LED) but that's it.

This takes about 5 minutes before it recovers. Only to start again on the next key stroke!

I guess some search provider checks the $HOME folder and waits for a timeout on the unresponsive cifs share. I want to know which one that is and if I can persuade it to search on local fs only.

Any pointers?
