vhane Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 Click to zoom! Xfce4, Xchat, Gaim, Rhythmbox, and some little panel plugins that I can't live without. The wallpaper is edited by me, and the original can be found here. Arch Linux! 584868504[/snapback] Nice desktop :) How often do you change WM/DE's?

agt Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 Just been fooling around tweaking things :happy: Couple of Q's . . . Is there a way to change or get rid of the status icons in the gaim window? Some webpage fonts look pretty bad - is there something I need to install to get better looking fonts?

Web pages specify fonts, and usually call for Windows fonts by name first, then alternative fonts, then finally a generic font style. If you don't have WIndows fonts installed, you will see a difference as the alternatives are used instead.

And the windows fonts are generally packaged up as "corefonts", so search for that in your system's package manager.
