whiskey commented on What Bugs Newcomers About Linux

"I think that what Ubuntu (and linux in general) needs is an easy way to make all the Terminal instructions into simple "just download then run" scripts... That being said, i have found that you can copy/paste them all at once (not one by one) and they will all work. Why terminal?"

whiskey commented on Strata Human Theme Modernizes Firefox in Ubuntu

"All this Vista, XP (and now human) new themes lack just one thing (at least while using the good ol' moomex theme), the ability to handle the backgrounds on toolbars. Which means that i have to either hack this theme (does anybody know where to say to it "read the blue background from the metacity theme" in the jar file?) or hack another metacity theme (do you know one that can be easily modified?, i'm no expert at this) to look like my version of moomex (blue instead of black) or change the png's on the icon theme (seems easier, could be interesting to use this arrows instead of the "normal" ones). All in all, this looks great, congratulations!"
