I just started fooling around with a Console like widget for DesktopX and was looking for a font similar to the one in Windows' Console. The font Terminal is similar as it got them special symbols, but it doesn't look quite right, and it's limited in what size you can use. It skips from 9 to 12. I looked at some font sites for anything I might used, but with no good luck... Anyone around here got any good suggestions?
I'm quite busy right now. so it'll just be copy and paste, but I thought this might interest some: (From SlashDot) Landreth writes "There is currently an ongoing petition taking place at OS2 World to get IBM to open source either the whole part or parts of OS/2 to the community. I would highly encourage the Linux community to take part of this open source petition as well due to the fact there are lots of interesting code base the they could benefit from. To sign the petition: http://www...
I don't really want too many toolbars in my browser. Don't want to clutter it up. However, I just installed Googles toolbar for Firefox yesterday and it's pretty neat. What really got me excited was the spell checking feature. I've just tried it posting another post and it works like a charm. Since I use google so much to search, and I search a lot, I think I actually will keep this toolbar.
I use Firefox as my main browser and therefor set IE's startup to windowsupdate.microsoft.com. I was just about to check something in IE and just so happend to notice that the Windows Update screen had changed ever so slightly, and that the adressbar was update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate/ v6 /default.aspx?ln=no I did a quick google to see if I could get any info of what's changed, but with no real luck. (So I suppose there wasn't much useful info her, but I'm one of them people who go "...
Hi. I plan to use DesktopX for my final major project. However I would like to hear from you lot out there of what you think of DesktopX's performance with different hardware. I'll be building a mini computer for the project and to save money, space and power I'd like to use the built-in graphicscard. The thing is that I haven't used a build-in graphicscard for ages. I've allways relied on separate cards from either ATI or nVidia. How is the general state of graphics card these days? If yo...
Hi I just moved house and got a new internet provider. Before I had a Bulldog and everything was fine. But I'm now with Tiscali and it's unlimited broadband got and fair usage policy that restricts us from heavey download during peak hours. (I looked quite long for anyone who didn't have such restriction, but found none. And my new housemates didn't like Bulldog as they require you to sign up for their phone service as well) So what I'm looking for now is a download manager which I can schedule...
WLM8 just updated itself here on my computer. I like the new look of it. I'm not sure what's new in this update though. When I clicked the "What's new" button I didn't get much info. I keep getting messages saying I got invites for this beta program so if anyone want to give it a go just let me know.
Slashdot linked to a interesting blog about a concept application for managing documents. Pretty interesting videos. Nice to see more and more people are trying to find new and better ways to handle our digital information.
I came across this article about how Vista handles the graphics differently from previous versions of Windows. What I found most interesting is the offscreen composition of windows and how it will, *knock wood* get rid of these strage artifacts when an application turn unresponsive. And it also indicated that there's some very nifty stuff that can be done with this. *nudge Stardock*
This article extremetech.com talks about the changes that's under the hood. IMO it's these changes that's the important part about Vista. It seem many people make up their mind of what they can see from the screenshots.
I'm updating my Matrix screensaver. However I have run into an issue which I don't know how to resolver. Basicly what happends is: If the screensaver start up with no transparancy it works fine. However, if you have set it to be transpararent it will run for about two seconds and then it'll stop updating. However, if you change the transparancy level after that by pressing any of the numberpad keys it starts working fine again. It's a very odd bug which I can't for the love of sanity work ou...
In Firefox 1.5 under the Tools menu, one of the items is "Read Mail". However, mine says "Read Mail (3 New)". I click it and it opens Thunderbird which is my email client, but there is no new email there. Does anyone know why Firefox just randomly claim I got new email?
Last night I went to bed after working on a report that is being handed in tomorrow. Since I had to do a couple of minor tweaks I left my document open so I could get started on it quickly when I got up the next morning. However, when I turned on my monitor this morning I found myself looking at the Windows Logon screen. Powercut I though and hoped I had saved the last changes I had done to the document. When I logon to Windows a little green shield icon appear in my system tray and a ballonto...
I'm experiencing similar issue as this user as SU: http://superuser.com/questions/955586/windows-10-blank-start-menu-icons Many (most) of my icons in the start menu display the standard empty file icon: When I click on All Apps there are empty file icons like that all over the place. My Windows 10 installation is an update over Windows 8. The SketchUp icon you see is from an application I installed after updating to Windows 10.
