  How to change Compiz GTK theme
Posted by: TheLamerLinux - 12-18-2016, 12:24 AM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (3)

Hello,

I use Linux Lite for a good time and I really like it. I found a bug on XFWM and it goes with docky show a line above docky I also tried Plank and it was same. I disable XFWM and the line stop so I decided it use Compiz I follow this website: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/11/how-to-se...10-or.html

I know it's old but it works but it gives me an ugly theme to it which I use the default theme "Arc-Dark" here is a screenshot what it looks like:

I want to get my theme back to it and I want to know can I put the buttons where I had it before (I put the buttons where Ubuntu Unity have theirs).

If there is no way I can get my GTK theme working then how can I get Emeralds working I use to use Emeralds along time but I just got to the point I don't install it anymore and now I tried to install it using Noobslab PPA they don't have it anymore.

  Network locations missing from system dialogs
Posted by: paul1149 - 12-17-2016, 10:30 PM - Forum: Other - No Replies

I was trying to do a sync across the LAN to a Windows unit, using FreeFileSync. I was surprised when setting up the destination to see that the local network was not listed in the dialog. Then I tried to save a web page from Vivaldi, and found the same problem. The Save dialog lists Places from Thunar in the left pane, but does not go on to list Network as Thunar does. Is there some way to navigate to network shares when saving or opening a location?

Is anyone else having issues where the Kernel Removal tool in Lite Tweaks fails to see existing kernels for removal?

  wifi adapters
Posted by: trinidad - 12-16-2016, 12:37 PM - Forum: Network - Replies (2)

Buying a USB wifi adapter can be confusing. Many are often not what they advertise. Over the years I have refurbished and repaired literally thousands of computers, both Linux and Windows, with or without onboard wifi NIC’s. For the last five years or so I have found what I believe to be the most reliably cross platform USB wifi adapters available and I highly recommend them. I cannot recall ever not being able to connect to my office wifi with any computer I was repairing. If you are having difficulty with wifi connections get a Panda wireless USB wifi adapter. They have a website and are distributed by Panther in the US and sold by Amazon for around $15 to $25 US. I am currently connected at 144Mbs on a five year old one. I have two six years old that I keep around the office for plugging into computers I repair or refurbish. I have had several and never had a failure. It is a fine product pretty much plug and surf for Debian, Ubuntu flavors like Linux Lite, Kali with monitor function, BSD, Slack Slax Porteus etc., and Windows, and I have yet to have to load the Windows drivers on machines that have come through the office. Excellent reliable easy to use product.

  Mouse Double Click Speed
Posted by: Coastie - 12-15-2016, 10:20 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (5)

(Sorry if this is already been answered.  Sad  I have searched on line and have not found help with the current version of XFCE. I could not find it in the LL help manual. Too many listing in searching forum to go through all of them. Apology done.)

Every since I start messing with my Android tablet using a stylist, I seem to have a lead index finger on the mouse on my desktop computer. Ever since way back when I started using a computer, I have played solitaire but it is not helping now. I don't understand the setting in XFCE for Mouse & Touchpad. Where should I set the Device and Behavior to decrease the sensitivity?

  Suggestion: Enable window snapping by default
Posted by: torreydale - 12-15-2016, 04:45 PM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - Replies (3)

Currently, by default, if you drag a window to the left or right, it will move to the next workspace.  When I was newer to Linux Lite, to avoid this default behavior, I just dropped the number of workspaces from 2 to 1 and window snapping worked in that singular workspace.  Later, I figured out how to keep the two workspaces and still have window snapping.  For that, I had to do two things.

1) In the Advanced tab of the Window Manager, I had to uncheck "With a dragged window"
2) In the Accessibility tab of Window Manager Tweaks, I had to check:
    a) "Automatically tile windows when..." and
    b) "Use edge resistance instead of..."

I think this should be enabled by default.

  Forgotten password "to perform administrative tasks".
Posted by: timbo12 - 12-15-2016, 05:58 AM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (6)

Hi. I am brand new to Linux, but loving Linux Lite. I took ages getting things set up, and decided to disable the username and password on login. I even have the wireless printer working, but now I am needing to install updates, and it says I need a "password to perform administrative tasks". Is there any way I can find this without a total reinstall? I had written down the password but can't find it.Thanks.
