[ubuntu-uk] Can I do this with Evolution?
Hello, After moving from windows about a year ago I had been using Thunderbird as my e-mail client. I have just moved to evolution mostly for the integration into the desktop and the calender. In the calender to look at a selected task/event/memo it opens a new window as shown in the before picture. I would like the current task/new task to appear at the bottom right as in the after picture. The buttons have been moved to the top along with the others. I didn't know what to goggle to find out if you can already do this. Before http://www.flickr.com/photos/42235...@n07/3894540244/ After http://www.flickr.com/photos/42235...@n07/3893751347/ If you can't already do this then, when the calender is first opened that space could display the next anointment or a branding logo as Mozilla does with Thunderbird. I think that maybe there should be a tick box in the options to enable this as on a smaller screen it would take up to much space. Any thoughts? Is this already possible?

Might be worth using 'smartctl' to check the health of the drive. Otherwise, does the manufacturer offer any drive checking utility? -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
Re: [ubuntu-uk] Throw a release party to get free software.
I agree. Microsoft is a threat because of their monoply. They are very good at locking-in users, however they are starting to feel threatened by Linux and the negativity they received after the release of Vista. Hence the 'release party' move (as well as various open source initiatives) to improve their product marketing by building a grass roots community. I also see Apple as a challenge from a usability/design point of view, but not so much from a business aspect, because they don't have so many users (even though they're better than MS when it comes to creating lock-in). Tim, I'd ignore Microsoft's release party idea completely. Any mention of it, just brings them back into public consciousness, when they should be becoming irrelevent. Much better to just talk about the awesome Ubuntu parties instead! 2009/9/6 doug livesey : > How do you see apple as a threat? > I can see them as a challenge, and something to raise the game for > free OS developers, but a threat? > Do you mean that they are practicing seriously monopolistic practices? > (Serious question, btw, not trying to start a flame war.) > Cheers, > Doug. > > On 05/09/2009, Tim Dobson wrote: >> Matt Jones wrote: >>> I wonder where they got this idea from? >>> http://houseparty.com/windows7 >> >> Apple? >> >> In all seriousness, I was thinking of "throwing" a windows 7 release >> party (in my windows free house) and sending them home with a karmic CD... >> >> Tbh though, I don't really care about microsoft these days, I see Apple >> as much more of a threat because they have user loyalty. >> >> Tim >> >> -- >> ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com >> https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk >> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/ >> > > -- > ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com > https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/ > -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
Re: [ubuntu-uk] Throw a release party to get free software.
How do you see apple as a threat? I can see them as a challenge, and something to raise the game for free OS developers, but a threat? Do you mean that they are practicing seriously monopolistic practices? (Serious question, btw, not trying to start a flame war.) Cheers, Doug.
