Hello all,
I have made the switch finally from 6.0 to 7.0 and as always when one
makes a major upgrades some things have "broken". I was hoping you all could
give me some insight on whether or not I can "fix" these things.
First, I would like to know if there is a way to turn off the fade
transitions when one opens windows or menus and get rid of the shadows behind
said windows. I much rather just have a good functioning desktop rather than
all the flashy things.
Second, when I go to select a background the "Pictures" button only shows
pictures in the root of my 'Pictures' folder and there is no way to select a
custom area for this. There used to be a way in 6.0, but that has gone.
Also, if I want to select a color, I only have the choices given, there is no
custom color chooser which is sad.
Third, Nautilus. Nautilus seems to be called 'Files' now? The issue that I
have with it, is I would like to get rid of the 'web-browser' type navigation
and replace it with a traditional 'menu-driven' navigation like I was able to
change it to before. Has this feature been removed?
And last, System settings. Is there a way to resize the System Settings
window? I can only see the top half of the icons and cannot re-position it
to show the rest. Before it seemed to stay within the confounds of my
resolution, and I could scroll, this does not happen any longer.
Thanks ahead for the help,
grimlok
