There was a little complaining from some new hardware drivers (for the nvidia chipset) but that disappeared after the auto update. The newest drivers from nvidia are sorta wonky but the default driver works "ok".

This makes it much easier, for example, to see the effect of changes you make to the Appearance settings before closing the window. But this is not something that is happening “now”; it has been like that for over half a decade.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8115236289668114915.post-81444627813508438142008-10-19T01:04:00.000+03:002008-10-19T01:04:00.000+03:00I got to agree with anonymous above... that the ba...I got to agree with anonymous above... <BR/><BR/>that the background looks good on its own, the orange theme looks OK/reasonable on its own...

This is a really stupid thing to do. GNOME has for a few years now had a misguided focus on reducing the GUI to the most idiotic simplicity possible. They seem to consider it more important to make the system usable by imbeciles than to make it tolerable for power users. This is just more of the same.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
