Mate do you know where i can at least get icons for windows that look the best look alike of those Mac ones

Hahaha those ones are custom. I got them from InterFacelift.com and they're called YetiBox.

But DeviantArt and InterFacelift are the places to go if you want custom icons.

I will do, when I get Beryl running, the ATi drivers are a real issue on this. X1300 Pro you see.

The only way I could get my GeForce driver installed was by going to System>Preferences>Desktop Effects. Then click "Enable Desktop Effects". It should then give you the option to install your graphics card driver. Then all you have to do is install Beryl and Emerald. You can find Beryl in Applications>Add/Remove Programs. Then you will have to install Emerald with a terminal.

Too bad Beryl doesnt like AMD64! it takes away all of my window borders and doesnt let me see my Terminal. Oh well, small price to pay.

I was having the same problem until someone on the Ubuntu forums told me this

Quote:

sudo gedit

/etc/X11/xorg.conf in the “Device” section: add these lines to it and save.

Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
Option "RenderAccel" "True"
Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "True"
Option "backingstore" "True"
Option "TripleBuffer" "True"

It worked for me with my AMD Sempron 3100+, it should work for you.

By the way GCR, the above method that I told you about should not be tried on less than 512MB of RAM.If the screen goes white after applying don't panic, just hit Control+Alt+F2. This will go to a terminal and then type your user name and password if necessary. Type "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop". Then type "startx".
