I just have a few links this morning, but I wanted to make sure everyone knows that I updated my post about the documentation for Mac4Lin to include a link to the updated GTK themes. If you’re running the Mac4Lin 1.0 RC you’re probably seeing an error about a missing theme engine. It’s been fixed and I uploaded them to the Mac4Lin support thread on the Ubuntu Forums.
- Pavel Rojtberg: OpenOffice.org is on the right track. OpenOffice has a longstanding issue about the UI, one which Pavel shows you how to uncover, and the OOo devs have finally been made aware of it and are on the case.
- Pavel Rojtberg: Gnome Online Desktop. Pavel looks at how GNOME could better embrace online services.
- Luis de Bethencourt: is ubuntu for you? Luis has a great decision tree for helping you see if Ubuntu may be a good operating system for you.
I have one more link to share, although it’s from much earlier this month. Although I don’t use the GlobalMenu hack (formerly known as MacMenu) which moves most of the application menus from the application windows to the upper panel I’ve kept my subscription to the Ubuntu Forums thread about it so I can try to keep up with the developments. There was a post this morning by ayoli that included a link to a great tutorial on his site for installing it. Thanks to the hard work of the devs you no longer need to patch GTK to use the GlobalMenu, although Firefox (bug report) and OpenOffice.org still don’t use the GlobalMenu. Hopefully they’ll do what they need to in order to let us penguin lovers enjoy the OSX way of accessing application menus.
