Hello,

I was wondering how to get the fancy transparent panels and windows in Ubuntu. I eventually found out how to do it, so have written it below
Note: Clicking the images will take you to a bigger copy of the picture

1. If you haven’t already got it installed, download compiz settings manager:

sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

2. Open Terminal and then type:

ccsm

3. Then click “Opacity, brightness and saturation”

4. Then, under Window specific settings, click new, and type:

dock

and set its value to

70

5. Do the same for popupmenu, dropdownmenu, and tooltip.

So that it looks like this:

A drawing of a seven legged spider, drawn by David Thorne as a joke to “pay” for an unpaid bill, has recently been sold on ebay by swedish seller, inkh.

This Drawing sold for $10,000USD, for the original drawing, which will be sent to the winning bidder, via email.

This ebay item can be found here:

Or, if the site doesn’t work, is mirrored here:

There is also an additional santa hat which may be purchased for the spider, available here:

Hello,

I accidentally deleted the SQL database, and forgot to back up before hand

So, i had to start all over again. Thank god for Google Cache

Hopefully it’ll all be as it was, shortly.
