^Thats coz , the answer prakash gave was for metacity not emerald.

 

[CadCrazy]

yes i know. What to do for emerald

 

[ray|raven]

^Sorry, I dont use emerald,
But according to this:
*wiki.compiz-fusion.org/EmeraldThemeManager

It may be in the emerald settings tab.

 

[SunnyChahal]

dont use it!use the default metacity theme

 

[ChaiTan3]

For changing it in emerald, open emerald theme manager choose your current theme. Go to edit theme->titlebar
change titlebar object layout
the format is
left:center:right:

Well, i learnt GTK+ from here:
*library.gnome.org/devel/gtk-tutorial/stable/
and for the API
*library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/unstable/
Its more than enough if you already know C, no books required.

 

[ray|raven]

^Thanx mate.
I do know C, though its been quite some time now since i coded in it.

Btw,How long did it take you?

 

[ChaiTan3]

Btw,How long did it take you?

About 2 days to make my first program. GTK+ seemed very confusing in the start as I had been used to VB. After understanding packing of widgets and signal handling theres nothing more to learn as such, its just a matter of referring to the API.

With some hit n trial I changed value of layout format from C(5)N(5)X5)T:HM:OSX Theme Layout to HM:T(5):N(5)X(5)C:OSX Theme Layout to get the desired layout. thanks ChaiTan3.

Now one more problem: two of three NTFS partitions are not automounted. Tell me what value I enter in fstab to get them automounted.

 

[praka123]

^sometimes if ntfs partitions are having errors,then they will not be automounted,do run CHKDISK in ur xp for those partitions.

 

[CadCrazy]

Actually these two partitions are created after ubuntu installation so are not automounted.

add force after defaults in fstab to mount them force fully
else
just run chksdk in windows

 

[CadCrazy]

Aree I'm asking for those damn long values to put in fstab to get it automounted

 

[Rahim]

UUID right?

ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid

OR

blkid
