Help needed customizing my desktop
Posted: Fri Nov 19, 2010 3:55 pm
Hello,
I recently installed Ultimate Edition on my laptop and I have some questions.
1. I am fairly new to using the Compiz Fusion window manager and at first was not able to make changes to the window borders. I was using the Appearance Preferences tool at first and then I saw the Emerald Themer tool and was finally successful at making changes to the window borders. I am a little confused however, when using Compiz do you use the Emerald Themer only for the window borders and the regular Appearance Preferences tool for all the other theme changes? Some of the things do not seem to work however, so far I have been unable to change the pointer.
2.The other question I have is how do you change the splash screens and the login screen and where can I find more screen images for these? When I selected the Splash Screen item from the System+Preferences menu there are no installed splash screens.
Thanks for any assistance you might be able to give.
Robert
