Hi there, I'm Federico, an 41 y.o. Italian guy who's living in Brasil and a proud linux user since 2006, when I've started to use Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake over WindowsXP. Many years after I'm still use *buntu distro but just this year I fallen in love with Lubuntu and now I'm spreading the word.
Ali, don't know if is a "start ubuntu" related argument or if is better write directly on ubuntuforum. You decide. Last year I've started a business here in Brasil and I'm offering Lubuntu as a solution for home use and for small offices, but I'm losing customers because of the standard interface. Some users asked me for an OSX style, others for a Windows7 style. Please don't underestimate this aspect, we can reach many more users in this way, even if with more powerful computers, and is very important for who would migrate. Eye candy is a good thing too. Using Cairo Dock (more OSX style) or Dockbarx (for W7), both with Compton enabled, even with some glitches and some specific themes I did the job. TThings starts to be complicated when I tried to create my custom session beside the exixting one for the "standard" Lubuntu. I mean, I know I need to create sessions in /usr/share/xsessions/ to see them on LightDM, for example I create a new session called LubuntuCMP.desktop based on Lubuntu.desktop already present on the folder. This is the content: [Desktop Entry] # The names/descriptions should really be better Name=LubuntuCMP Comment=Lubuntu - Lightweight X11 desktop environment based on LXDE Exec=/usr/bin/startlubuntucmp # Icon= Type=Application Then I created my personal /usr/bin/startlubuntucmp pointing to a session folder called LubuntuCMP. Worked, I can set a theme for icons and windows editing the desktop.conf file but I can't change the position of the panel without modify it on other sessions, nor I can get autostart file to work. Compton and the specific dock simply doesn't start. Here an help would be much appreciated because I think there is another configuration file. Then finally I'll start to think how to create my custom lubuntu CD. Before someone ask: no, I'm not asking money for this nor I'll change the name of the disto, it's just a custom setup to help me in my job. I'm ready to discuss about it in more detailed way with anyone interested. Thanks, F.
