I already know how to change themes but I'm quite fond of the Ambiance pack that I'm using. My problem is a slight annoyance, yet an annoyance nonetheless. I want to know how to change the Panel/Menu bar color to my choosing as it doesn't fit with the rest of the window. It is present in the default, out of box Ubuntu, just open your browser or any other window (preferably in Maximized mode as it is more apparent) and look at the Menu Bar/Panel.
Notice the Top and Bottom Colors are of different shades. This is what has been bothering me so much, and it occurs in every window be it maximized or windowed, and not just in Chrome.
I would like to now how to make it so that the colors match, either being the bottom part is as light as the top, or the top part is made as dark as the bottom, or even a different color altogether, as long as it matches. And if possible as the preferred alternative, as this would be the most aesthetically pleasing while also being the most unlikely, could there be a blurred transition effect between the Top and Bottom portions so that it would flow into each other naturally instead of clashing against each other. Though this alternative would be nice, I understand if that is not possible and I will settle for the two colors to match.
I've just installed Debian 8 with Gnome and I can't change the icons that appear in my desktop. I had some problems with my old Wheezy 7.8 but now, with Jessie, is imposible.
When I select Main Menu one Window is opened but when I make a change this change is lost when I close the Window and always I see the same icons in Desktop.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks

I have downloaded an attachment from a website and an icon has now appeared on the bottom panel of my debian distro with gnome shell (classic).
This icon will not go away even with reboot.
If I right-click on the icon it offers me 'launch' and 'properties' option. But there is no 'delete' option.
If I click on the icon it will take me back to the same website and open the attachment again.
Now it's forever on the bottom panel of my desktop.
Clearly this is a bug.
Can someone please advise how I can get rid of this? Thank you in advance.

Hello guys!
Does anyone have a solution to trace graph windows not loading properly. I am using ubuntu 14.10 and when i run something like "paulchiedo@paulchiedo-virtual-machine:~/Documents/tracegraph202$ ./trgraph /home/paulchiedo/mobilesense.tcl" I get "ERROR: No data! choose another time interval" on the terminal. The three trace file windows open but the problem is that for the "Graph's" window only the -file, -options on the menu bar is highlighted. For the "Trace garph 2.02" window -file, - Options menus are highlighted but no data apears and finally for the "Network Information" window only -Options on the menu tab is highlited.
* It is however noteworthy that this problem did not start from the point of installation as the trace graph had worked fine prior to this problem..
I would really appreciate it if someone would be so nice to help me through this problem. Thank you in advance!
Hello Linux users. I'm described as a newbie (which i am) but you've never seen a newbie as new as I am I'll wager.
I installed Zorin 9 OS core as an alternative to Microsoft crap that I'm really tired of, (cost as well as never vending bugs). Yes I know I'll still have bugs with linux but at least the patches and fixes in any Linux distro is for the benefit of Linux users and not to sell more Microsoft crap.
I have evidently been reasonably successful to install the latest Zorin 9 with my desktop environment choice. However I'm used to (and like) the MS so called quick launch bar at the bottom of the XP desktop installation, from which I can place links of any app or web link to instantly go there. Correct me if I'm wrong but Linux has basically the same quick launch function which I can choose from the software center and I've tried to select and install at least 2 named Cairo-dock and Docky for example. I did choose and install those according to the Linux prompts but I notice no change in the "Avant Window Navigator" at the bottom of my desktop, and when i try to drag a web link or app to that bar it either flips back to the link spot i saved on the desktop, or there's no action at all. In other words I am not able to put a link or app on the AWN, which AWN does not serve as a dock launcher at all (except for my Firefox browser icon WHICH IS INSTALLED at the left bar location and does work to quick launch Firefox when I left click on it.
So how do I not only properly install that notorious quck launch app in linux Zorin 9 OS and finally drag or otherwise install my links there?
thanks for any advice or replies.
Hi all,
Very basic question I'm afraid! I installed Linux (with difficulty) as it turned out that I had a duff copy of Windows on my 2nd hand laptop! I'm not as computer-literate as I used to be in the days of DOS and early Windows, nor am I as patient - it all seems to be so complicated now!
I cannot find out how to open a window that's minimised to the task bar. In windows it would just be a click, which as so much of the user interface is similar I'm mystified! It'll turn out to be something incredibly simple, please!
I can do it the long way with alt+tab and scroll through but surely there's a faster way?
How do applets in the panel on the right also get opened as alt tab doesn't work on them!
Any guidance would be SO much appreciated as I've faffed with this for weeks!!
Thank you.
Hi there. My environment is Ubuntu 12.04 OS. I have an example of the files I create with gfortran and gnuplot. The gnuplot draws this picture from a data file with 2D Cartesian coordinates. It is perpective projection. I need to color some parts of the plot (various lines) in different colors because some other details must also be drawn and I feel that the resulting network will be confusing. Gnuplot user manuals treat this subject but only in conjunction with lines drawn through a formula like sin(x), etc. I don't have that. All I have is columns of floating point numbers. Is there way I can draw lines of different color with gnuplot 4.6?
Thanks, - A.
Hello, I'm having a problem on Kali Linux. I've added some shotcuts to the top panel but it shifts to the left from time to time until I cannot see anything I cant even click on Applications menu because it clicks the shortcut behind it.
Example:

Hi All,
I recently decided to tryout Linux and dual booted my laptop (originally just had windows 8) with Xubuntu. Now I want to try out Kali Linux. So I downloaded Kali and made a bootable USB, the problem is that when I try to boot from the USB it just brings up the grub menu asking me to select Xubuntu, Windows etc. I've changed the boot menu in the BIOS but that has no effect.
I've tried booting into windows and the restarting by holding shift but when I select the usb option it just says:
"system doesn't have any USB boot option. Please select other boot option in Boot Manager Menu"
and then returns to the grub menu. I don't understand because I used a bootable usb to install xubunto?
I'd be really grateful if anyone can help me out with this!
Thanks
