CadCrazy · 28-03-2008, 01:13 PM

ray|raven · 28-03-2008, 01:17 PM

^Sorry, I dont use emerald,
But according to this:
http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/EmeraldThemeManager

It may be in the emerald settings tab.

For changing it in emerald, open emerald theme manager choose your current theme. Go to edit theme->titlebar
change titlebar object layout
the format is
left:center:right:

Well, i learnt GTK+ from here:
http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk-tutorial/stable/
and for the API
http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/unstable/
Its more than enough if you already know C, no books required.

ray|raven · 28-03-2008, 04:16 PM

^Thanx mate.
I do know C, though its been quite some time now since i coded in it.

Btw,How long did it take you?

About 2 days to make my first program. GTK+ seemed very confusing in the start as I had been used to VB. After understanding packing of widgets and signal handling theres nothing more to learn as such, its just a matter of referring to the API.

CadCrazy · 29-03-2008, 09:03 AM

With some hit n trial I changed value of layout format from C(5)N(5)X

5)T:HM:OSX Theme Layout to HM:T(5):N(5)X(5)C:OSX Theme Layout to get the desired layout. thanks ChaiTan3.

Now one more problem: two of three NTFS partitions are not automounted. Tell me what value I enter in fstab to get them automounted.

praka123 · 29-03-2008, 09:06 AM

^sometimes if ntfs partitions are having errors,then they will not be automounted,do run CHKDISK in ur xp for those partitions.

CadCrazy · 29-03-2008, 09:27 AM

Actually these two partitions are created after ubuntu installation so are not automounted.

add force after defaults in fstab to mount them force fully
else
just run chksdk in windows

CadCrazy · 29-03-2008, 09:40 AM

Aree I'm asking for those damn long values to put in fstab to get it automounted

Rahim · 29-03-2008, 09:57 AM

UUID right?

Code:

ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid

OR

Code:

blkid

Automount partition at bootup using UUID in Ubuntu 7.10

sakumar79 · 29-03-2008, 11:07 AM

Open fstab and check out the earlier entries of the auto-mounted partitions and copy the values...
