A couple of problems (AKA Maybe I'm stupid ;P)

Postby coolpup » Thu Dec 08, 2011 7:13 pm

Is there a way to change the cursor in Ultimate 3.0? I've tried a couple of different things to no avail. I simply don't like the default KDE cursor.

Next, how do I get About Me (System->Preferences) to work? I've clicked until I'm blue in the face and nothing happens.

Next, is there a startup manager type thing where I can add apps to start at boot? I can't seem to find one.

There may be more, but I can't think of them right now. :)

i'm not on my linux box atm so this is from memory, right-click on your desktop, click change desktop background, that will open the theme menu, go to the theme tab click on customize, you should be able to change your mouse cursor from there.
as for the start-up apps there should be something in the system settings for it, but if you open ubuntu tweak i am sure it also lets you set them from there :D

After some snooping around, I found it. The change will do. :)

I missed it the first few times I looked, but eventually found it. There are a few apps I like started as part of the boot.

Thanks for the info. :)
