Installing Mac Theme in lubuntu 12.04

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

Mac OS X is the special one in the Desktop market. 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”. Yeah, Mac OS X has beautiful look and I do like its look-n-feel. And so, there are so many theme patcher to make our Microsoft Windows or Linux OS become Mac OS X in the appearance.

In Linux Desktop, there are some project specialized in designing theme transformation pack to make our Linux desktop to be looked like Mac OS X. The most popular project probably is Mac4Lin. But, all of those projects was designed only for GNOME or sometimes support XFCE and how about LXDE? Our Star in the current lightweight Linux desktop? (Yes, LXDE is the most light-but-complete Linux desktop for now).

Until now, there is no project that officially support LXDE. Basically, LXDE uses gtk (now still stay with gtk2) and any gtk theme can be used in LXDE. The problem is, LXDE uses openbox as its window manager. And as the logical reason for its ligthweight, openbox has limitation. Openbox doesn't support complex theming by using high resolution png images so we couldn't build sophisticated theme for openbox. However, we could still build window theme with color for openbox and we could try to resemble any theme we want, although it will never be pitch-perfect same as a clone. And so, there is an openbox theme tried to resemble Mac OS X theme and we could use it to transform our LXDE desktop to be looked like Mac OS X Lion.

After experimenting with previous Mac4Lin theme, I've successfully transform my Lubuntu 12.04 to be Mac OS X Lion style and so then I pack them into DEBS and we could transform our Lubuntu to be looked like Mac OS X easily. Here are the steps to transform Lubuntu to be looked like Mac OS X Lion :

1. Download and install Mac OS X Theme For LXDE

4. Move the Panel to the top and remove Window List (Task Bar) Applet, Application Launch Bar Applet, Minimize All Windows Applet and Desktop Pager Applet.
5. Check the Strecth option of Spacer Applet between Menu Applet and system applet in order to get wide space between Menu and System Tray Applet.
6. Change the gtk and icon theme into Mac OS X, and change the Lubuntu logo into Apple logo by right clik at the Menu applet and point the image logo to /usr/share/icons/Mac-Lion-Icons/places/24/start-here.png
7. Add Cairo Dock and xcompmgr as additional autostarted startup applications in LXDE by editing this :
   sudo leafpad /etc/xdg/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart
   At the end, add these lines :
   @xcompmgr
   @cairo-dock
8. Save and Exit, and then Reboot the System
9. Now, we have Lubuntu with Mac OS X like look :*

Tricks to speed up Windows XP.

Create One-Click Shutdown and Reboot Shortcuts

Create One-Click Shutdown and Reboot Shortcuts:

First, create a shortcut on your desktop by right-clicking on the desktop, choosing New, and then choosing Shortcut. The Create Shortcut Wizard appears. In the box asking for the location of the shortcut, type shutdown. After you create the shortcut, double-clicking on it will shut down your PC.

But you can do much more with a shutdown shortcut than merely shut down your PC. You can add any combination of several switches to do extra duty, like this:

shutdown -r -t 01 -c "Rebooting your PC"
Double-clicking on that shortcut will reboot your PC after a one-second delay and display the message "Rebooting your PC." The shutdown command includes a variety of switches you can use to customize it. Table 1-3 lists all of them and describes their use.

I use this technique to create two shutdown shortcuts on my desktop—one for turning off my PC, and one for rebooting. Here are the ones I use:

shutdown -s -t 03 -c "Bye Bye m8!"
shutdown -r -t 03 -c "Ill be back m8 ;)!"

Switch
What it does

-s
Shuts down the PC.

-l
Logs off the current user.

-t nn
Indicates the duration of delay, in seconds, before performing the action.

-c "messagetext"
Displays a message in the System Shutdown window. A maximum of 127 characters can be used. The message must be enclosed in quotation marks.

-f
Forces any running applications to shut down.

-r
Reboots the PC.

BIOS Beep Codes

When a computer is first turned on, or rebooted, its BIOS performs a power-on self test (POST) to test the system's hardware, checking to make sure that all of the system's hardware components are working properly. Under normal circumstances, the POST will display an error message; however, if the BIOS detects an error before it can access the video card, or if there is a problem with the video card, it will produce a series of beeps, and the pattern of the beeps indicates what kind of problem the BIOS has detected.
Because there are many brands of BIOS, there are no standard beep codes for every BIOS.

The two most-used brands are AMI (American Megatrends International) and Phoenix.

Below are listed the beep codes for AMI systems, and here are the beep codes for Phoenix systems.
