Menjalankan avant-window-navigator dan cairo-dock Tanpa Compiz Fusion

Aplikasi dock avant-window-navigator dan cairo-dock ternyata bisa berjalan pada semua jenis composting manager. Sementara itu, untuk aplikasi compositing manager, kebanyakan dari kita hanya akrab dengan aplikasi Compipz Fusion yang cukup berat dan hanya bisa dijalankan pada VGA tertentu.

Namun ternyata, ubuntu desktop telah menyediakan sebuah fitur compositing manager simpel yang bisa dijalankan oleh semua jenis VGA card apapun, dan bisa untuk menjalankan aplikasi dock avant-window-navigator dan cairo-dock.

Fitur compositing manager tersebut ada pada window manager metacity, cara mengaktifkannya adalah sebagai berikut :

Jalankan run (tekan tombol Alt dan F2 di keyboard), dan ketikan :

'gconf-editor' (tanpa tanda petik)

Pada jendela gconf-editor (Configuration Utility) sebelah kiri, pilih menu apps>metacity>general, kemudian pada jendela bagian kanan, cari string bernama 'compositing_manager' dan centanglah (aktifkan). Terakhir tutup gconf-editor (Configuration Utility) dan sekarang kita sudah bisa menjalankan avant-window-navigator atau cairo-dock.

Selamat nge-Linux ! ^_^

Wah, betul-betul menakjubkan. Saya kira compositing manager hanya milik Compiz. Ternyata Metacity juga punya. Semula saya sempat putus asa mengingat VGA saya tidak mumpuni. Kini desktop saya bisa terlihat persis Mac OS X :) Nanti saya mungkin mengobrak abriknya lagi. Hehehe

Terima kasih mas. Artikel anda sangat berguna. Salam kenal, semoga kita bisa menjadi kawan yang baik.

Salam Blogger.

Q4OS 4.6 "Gemini" Review: A Real Hidden Gem

Distro hopping is a fun adventure. It's a pure joy you can only find in GNU/Linux world. It's a nature you want to escape from what I call 'comfort ecosystem'. You need to play, trying something new even for a few little differences. For a long time I've been using Ubuntu family as my daily driver. The main reason is probably just same as any other Ubuntu user: it's reliable. You can't go wrong with Ubuntu. It works almost in any device, even for the newest one. It is the ultimate Linux distro you can rely on. However, sometimes, you will feel bored. The temptation to flirt with other new distro is unbearable. There are a lot of hot new Linux distros waiting to try. A Real Hidden Gem I've known this distro for a quite long time. At first, it offered Trinity Desktop as the main desktop, which brings me the sweet memories about KDE3. It is simply fast, stable, almost without any issue, and it is based on Debian. I install it on my old machine and I love t...

How To Install Mac OS X Lion Theme On Lubuntu / LXDE

So many people admire it because of its beauty, safety (yes, it is an UNIX) and its profesional image as “an OS for profesional modern art designer”.

If you are using another desktop environment such as LXDE, there aren't such menu, and we need to install third party tool called Gigolo . But apparently, PCManFM (the default file manager of LXDE) already has such function. We could connect to a Windows Share network in PCManFM easily. Here are the simple steps : 1. Open PCManFM and go to adress bar, and type this command : smb://username@server/folder example : smb://staff@192.168.1.69/document then press Enter 2.
