Thanks for all those links :smile:
I haven't upgraded my Xubuntu 8.10 yet because the hard disk space required is 1500 Mo and I have only 1000... :lol: But the 8.10 works fine...

Ubuntunerd ☠ 4. June 2009, 16:58

I wouldn't upgrade to 9.4 is still buggy and things aren't like they suppose to be, Im using it right now and Im thinking about reinstalling 8.4

Claude 4. June 2009, 17:15

Ho realy?!! :eyes: I think you have to wait for some patches which they surely come soon. :smile:

Ubuntunerd ☠ 4. June 2009, 17:22

well I notice firefox is slower and I can even get onto my yahoo mail because it kicks me out also my system monitor is buggy it won't do anything, it just goes black also Opera is very slow maybe it has something to do with the new Internet protocol ipv6 thats turn on by default on Jaunty. I would hold off on it plus Ubuntu hardy is a long term support which means it will supported until 2011 all the others are not

Claude 4. June 2009, 17:42

Do you play on OpenArena from time to time? Your little avatar image lets me think that :wink:

Ubuntunerd ☠ 4. June 2009, 17:53

no but I do try find the most awesome avatars ever I get them from this link: http://www.coolavatars.net/

look in the animated section

Claude 4. June 2009, 19:36

:smile:
Thanks for the link

Ubuntunerd ☠ 4. June 2009, 20:10

Claude I have a quick question how can I get rid off my top navigation bar, the top thats says home, community, opera

its that even posible?

Claude 5. June 2009, 06:46

I think yes. I have never tried that, but I found this:
http://www.bobbyvandersluis.com/articles/dynamic_css/index.html
So with the value "hide", we can act on the 4 buttons. I don't know if the text field where we can write our own css code in Opera, accepts the: "<script>" tag? :confused: Maybe not.
However we can change the design of the 4 buttons to make them almost invisibles :idea:
A tool which can help you is the Web Developer bar for Firefox. You can find it here:
http://chrispederick.com/work/web-developer/
In this tool bar you will find in the "CSS" menu, the "View Style Information"... :smile:

Try this:
#myo-nav a:link, #myo-nav a:visited, #myo-nav a:active {

display:block;

width:78px;

line-height:24px;

background:#222 url() 0 -50px;

text-decoration:none;

color:#141414;

overflow:hidden;

}
The "color" is the color of the button's text. So you can choose a color near the black to make the text invisible. And the "background" url is empty to hide the used picture. this one: http://my.opera.com/community/graphics/users/topmenu2/sprites.png

Or you can try this:
#myo-nav a:link, #myo-nav a:visited, #myo-nav a:active {

display:none;

color:#141414;

overflow:hidden;

}
Tell me if that works or not...

Ubuntunerd ☠ 5. June 2009, 12:10

no it didn't but I know is possible because I've seen somebody else with it gone :cry:

Claude 5. June 2009, 12:26

So if you find that blog again, let me know which one is, please :smile:

Ubuntunerd ☠ 5. June 2009, 12:52

yep I will I know you can look at the css on it did you do it with the tool bar you're talking about or just with firefox source view?

Claude 5. June 2009, 12:58

With the tool bar is more easy to see and find which css code is used to design each part of a blog or a website :idea: :up:
Maybe there's a mistake in the code I have given to you, I'm sure it can work if I find the mistake :smile:

Ubuntunerd ☠ 5. June 2009, 13:56

if you get some time maybe look into it I don't like the navigation bar on top other blogin places lets you change it :smile:

Claude 5. June 2009, 14:05

I will try and let you know if I found the good code :wait:

Ubuntunerd ☠ 5. June 2009, 14:51

thanks for taking the time :smile:

Claude 5. June 2009, 15:19

I have tried several things but without any success awww

Ubuntunerd ☠ 5. June 2009, 15:25

Claude look at this blog it looks like he change some things around in the top menus can you see if it looks like we can see his css and what he change:

http://my.opera.com/amnith/blog/2009/05/24/designs-and-such

Claude 5. June 2009, 16:27

I have found this in his customized css:
http://files.myopera.com/amnith/user.css
So you can also use it like that if you want, but without any code else, and you will get the same design...
Or use only this: 
#myo a:hover { text-decoration: underline !important; }
#user-info { opacity: 1; width: 800px; color: #000; }
#user-info #userlinx { margin-top: -12px !important; margin-left: -40px !important; }
#userlinx { color: #000; font-size: 12px !important; }
#user-avatar { border: 0; }
#editme { display: none !important; }
#myo { width: 800px; background: none !important; padding: 0; background-color: #fff !important; opacity: .9; color: #000 !important; height: 25px !important; min-height:25px !important; max-height: 25px !important; }
#myo a { color: #000 !important; border: 0; }
#myo-logo { display: none; }
#myo-nav { position: absolute; top: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0; margin-left: 430px; margin-top: -25px; font-weight: bold; }
#myo-signup { margin-top: -12px !important; margin-left: 20px !important; }
#myo-nav ul li a, #myo-nav ul, #myo-nav ul li { background: none !important; background-image: none !important; padding: 0 !important; width: auto; }

Ubuntunerd ☠ 5. June 2009, 16:39

is working but not perfect from that code how can I make it all gone avatar and all or fix the one corner that doesn't cover ?????

Claude 5. June 2009, 17:01

I just understood that the code I given to you only works for you! Me I only see my design :eyes: So I miss something somewhere in his code :eyes:
Why don't you ask to Amnith? He can help you better than me :D

Do you see my design for the top bar?

Ubuntunerd ☠ 5. June 2009, 17:02

yes i see it but it has the end cut off like mine

Ubuntunerd ☠ 5. June 2009, 17:08

ok I got it like I want it now I just need to know which one of the numbers makes go longer so it can cover the rest of my top section thats missing can you help with that?

Claude 5. June 2009, 17:16

I haven't find which value controls the top right corner :confused:
You can change the color value like this #000 by this #fff to get the text white...

Ubuntunerd ☠ 5. June 2009, 17:30

yes indeed I figure it out banana banana banana

Ubuntunerd ☠ 5. June 2009, 17:54

hey Claude can you tell me what my top menus look like from your browser?

Claude 5. June 2009, 18:09

Like this:

Ubuntunerd ☠ 5. June 2009, 18:33

try this new one is black

Claude 5. June 2009, 18:56

Nice banner but I can't see the top menu, texts are in black also...

Ubuntunerd ☠ 5. June 2009, 19:00

you can see it is noticeable to the regular eye??

Claude 5. June 2009, 19:29

Have a look in your "inbox":smile:

Ubuntunerd ☠ 5. June 2009, 19:42

ok I think I finally got it o yeah I can play around with the code all day long is easy when you have and you can just change little by little until you get the result yo

Claude 5. June 2009, 19:44

So what controls the top right corner? :smile:

Ubuntunerd ☠ 5. June 2009, 19:47

you mean the section where it says opera, community, etc..?

Claude 5. June 2009, 19:57

Yes but also the place just after on the right where the color was different...

Ubuntunerd ☠ 5. June 2009, 20:12

ok this is the section I copy from his original code:


#user-info { opacity: .8; width: 800px; color: #000; }
#user-info #userlinx { margin-top: -12px !important; margin-left: -40px !important; }
#userlinx { font-size: 12px !important; }
#user-avatar { border: 0; }
#editme { display: none !important; }
#myo { width: 800px; background: none !important; padding:0; background-color: #000000 !important; opacity: .9; color: #000 !important; height: 0px !important; min-height:0px !important; max-height: 0px !important; }
#myo a { color: #000 !important; border: 0; }
#myo-logo { display: none; }
#myo-nav { position: absolute; top: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0; margin-left: 430px; margin-top: -225px; font-weight: bold; }
#myo-signup { margin-top: -12px !important; margin-left: 20px !important; }

this line controls all those menus, especially the "-225" which he had at -25 I made -225 and the menus were gone

#myo-nav { position: absolute; top: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0; margin-left: 430px; margin-top: -225px; font-weight: bold; }

Claude 5. June 2009, 20:21

Maybe you can do the same for user-info or userlinx by adding the margin-top value.
For example in the second line:
#user-info #userlinx { margin-top: -212px !important; margin-left: -40px !important; }

This line and the first one you said:
#myo-nav { position: absolute; top: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0; margin-left: 430px; margin-top: -225px; font-weight: bold; }
are maybe the only 2 lines needed :idea: You can maybe delete all other lines without any problem...

Ubuntunerd ☠ 5. June 2009, 20:26

yep it worked tell me if you can see it? the whole thing is gone you see I just learned something today :hat:

Claude 5. June 2009, 20:27

Bravo :up: I can't see the top menu bar :eyes: :wizard:

Maybe you can write only this code (I will try it):
#myo-nav { margin-top: -225px; }
#user-info #userlinx { margin-top: -212px !important; }

Ubuntunerd ☠ 5. June 2009, 20:30

now if i just want to go to all those menus all i have to do is click on my Opera download banner and Im there :D

Claude 5. June 2009, 20:36

Realy? That's nice :lol:
For me only those lines are working nicely:
#myo-nav { margin-top: -50px; }
#user-info #userlinx { margin-top: -50px !important; }

If you want to disable the CSS code without delete it, you can do this (maybe you know that):
/*#myo-nav { margin-top: -50px; }
#user-info #userlinx { margin-top: -50px !important; }*/

Ubuntunerd ☠ 5. June 2009, 20:53

your blog looks very nice now I think maybe you should include this new findings in one of your tutorials and maybe you can add me in there as someone who contribute a little :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Foxit: pdf reader

gtkrecordmydesktop: record your desktop in motion

Inkscape: make vector images

Xchat: talk to people

Manpreet Singh Dhillon 6. June 2009, 01:25

Hmmmm great! I never tried anything else than GIMP for image editing in ubuntu!

Xchat: is it for IRC or Jabber? I use Gajim most of the time because it support encryption while chatting. It's basically a Jabber client.

Ubuntunerd ☠ 6. June 2009, 01:31

Xchat is IRC the ubuntu forums has it own channel at freenode
