I can't fully blame myself for missing this post in the first place
(being in a hospital and not owning a bluetooth-enabled cellphone),
but it's congratulations nevertheless!
Despite of the disagreements I might have posted against you, I still
think I owe you some beer (not having a chance to meet in person back
a while ago when I used to live in Finland). :)

I'm kinda on it for a while now, although not nearly as ready for
anything yet. Still, this post gives me sort of an ass kick, therefore
I'd like to continue this conversation more subject-wise, like
collecting ideas and opinions and with a higher seriousness than that
of "hey, I'm writing a new operating system, it'll be mostly like
linux, except for I'm the author" approach that I can possibly call
for. Thanks for bringing this up.

(Actually my dictionary is probably wrong -- they often are -- 
claiming "jigging" is  "pilkkiminen", and it's really just 
"ice fishing".)

Install the Firefox Web Developer toolbar.  Miscellaneous->Show Ruler.
You can also find the size of a particular image or any other screen
element with Information -> Display Element Information (Ctrl-Shift-F).

The Firefox Firebug extension also has measurements, easily accessible
in the context menu Inspect Element -> Layout tab on the right.  It does
many things the Web Developer toolbar doesn't, so I always install both.

I'm not sure how "great" it will be, but very likely it the next
popular OS will be written in broken javascript on top of a stinking
pile of C, C++, shell scripts, python, perl, mono, and other flaky
hacks. Otherwise known as webshit-on-gnomefox-on-linux.

The One True OS is just a new name for The One True Editor.
And as everyone knows, it's in Lisp ^^

Happy trolling :D

Basically, you can't. It's very intentional.

In case of tiled frames, you can in principle define the tiled-alt
style to have no decorations. (By default it has no tab-bar.) But
the borders between frames are typically formed from the decorations
of frames on both sides of the border.

Hello list,

I've got a small question: how do I remove all window decorations around
a specific client window?  I'd like to have my Audacious without any
decorations...

cu, Adam.
