Why the hell do you minimize each individual window? Why not do a command-h to hide the app or F11 to expose your desktop? psyduck;

And Jesus fucking Christ, don't stretch Safari, it's retarded.

Exposé is not the same thing as hitting F11. That's F9.

Hit F11 and actually watch what it does. You'll be pretty fucking amazed. And if for some insane reason you don't like that, it's still much easier to do a Command-H and hide your apps instead of minimizing and reopening every window. It's also proves easier to switch between apps when you don't have any particular app TAKING UP YOUR WHOLE GOD DAMN SCREEN.

I have F11 set to the scroll ball.
I thought we established that Safari and iChat were the only damn things I used on my computer.

I'm sure it'd be easier if you could see your buddy list to the left side of Safari without having to squeeze your mouse every ten seconds.

And why the hell would you set the view desktop function to your scrollball? psyduck;

The scroll ball is set to scrolling; not dashboard. That's button 3. caterpie;

Also, I highly, highly suggest not setting anything to button 3.In about 3 weeks to two months, your scroll ball will die. It happens to everybody that has a Mighty Mouse. Soon after, buttons 3 will start to fuck up. I had Dashboard assigned to that button, and regardless of what I hit or squeezed on my mouse, my Dashboard would always pop up. It was hell to get rid of it.

Yea. I've heard some pretty bad things about the mighty mouse.
But I bought it because the apple store is like three feet away from my lazy ass

I've had my might mouse for... 18 months or so now, and Button 3 never got messed up. However, the scroll ball did start not working. So I took the mouse apart and cleaned everything, but when I put it back together it was really hard to right or left click. poppy;

A bit updated. Different background, although I don't really like the look of it on Ubuntu.

Turn on font smoothing.

Code Select
gedit ~/.fonts.conf

When that command is used in the terminal, window should pop up.

Quote<?xml version="1.0?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<match target="font">
<edit name="autohint" mode="assign">
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
</match>
</fontconfig>


Paste that in there and CTRL+S (save). Log out of Ubuntu and log back in, and it should be all smooth'd up.

Change the icon theme. Maybe that'll help. Go to System > Themes > click customize > Icons > [chose icon set]. When you click on an icon set, you should get a live preview, so just toy around and chose what you like; I really like "Tango".

ooooh that's nice
I've already toyed around with the theme. It's more just the background, I'm getting sick of it.
