Introduction
Source: http://www.glx-dock.org/ww_page.php?p=Remove% 20the% 20last% 20Gnome% 20Panel & lang = en


I'm not sure if you noticed, but today Cairo-Dock can do almost anything (view of the panel, all kinds of applets, etc. ..) so you no longer need the Gnome bar! The only problem is: Gnome for some reason will not let you get rid of the toolbar above. Why? I'm not sure ... So after main dock to your liking in order to place the panel "old Gnome, which often end with something like the following:


2 solutions available:
      Do Not
      1. launch at the Gnome-panel startup : that's the MOST radical ... However You Can Then forget about the nice shortcuts Such as ALT + F2 ... (still the applet GMENU middle-click with STI Easily dog That replace shortcut)
      2. Hide the last Gnome-panel in order to Maintain the shortcuts.


METHOD 1: Do Not launch at the Gnome-panel startup

This is very easy to achieve :
- Type ALT+F2 (Enjoy this is probably the last time you can do it )
- Type : gconf-editor
- Go to the key "/desktop/gnome/session" and edit the key "required_components_list" :

- Remove "panel" from the list:

- Logout from your session and login again and that's it: No more gnome panel ... no ALT+F2 either

METHOD 2 : Hide the last Gnome-panel

- Make sure you only have one panel ( Right click the bottom panel and select Delete this panel)
- Edit the last panel's properties (Right Click + 'Properties')
- In the tab 'General', reduce the size to its minimum (the value will depend on your resolution)
- Tick the option 'AutoHide' :

- In the tab 'Background', select 'Solid Color' and set the cursor to 'Transparent':

At this stage you should have something like that:


If you are, like me, using Compiz you will have to get rid of the shadow under the panel:
- Launch the Compiz Configuration Manager (ALT+F2 and type ccsm) ... If it is not installed click here: apt://compizconfig-settings-manager
- In 'Windows Decoration'/'Windows Shadow???', replace 'any' with 'any & !(name=gnome-panel)':

- Click on 'Back' and 'Close'

The shadow has gone! ... The last thing to do is to visit gconf-editor to definitely hide the panel:

- ALT+F2 and type gconf-editor
- Go to the key '/apps/panel/toplevels', you should see and entry named top_panel_screen0 or panel_0 (the '0' may change depending on your configuration)
- Modify the 'auto_hide_size' value to 1: this is the size of the br once folded (hidden).
- Modify the 'hide_delay' value to 0 (default is 300): that is the time before the panel will hide.
- Modify the 'unhide_delay' value to 100000 (= 100 seconds) : this is the time before the panel will unhide.



Et voila! : Bye bye gnome-panel !! You can now enjoy you new Desktop (with all the keyboard shortcuts active) :

python script to create backgrounds rotating screen.

Revolving funds are the ones we have on our desktop Gnome 2.8 in later ... (From Ubuntu 9.04 onwards approx) and an example of this is the Wallpaper "Cosmos" which is by default in our system.




However, we have our own background as the Cosmos and we got bored, so we have to do is download the script by clicking the link sgte .


As
use:

already have our downloaded file, save it wherever you want, then create a folder containing all the images you wish (I put the script inside that folder for convenience).

Open a terminal and we stand in this place where we have our script and execute:

slider-autogen.py python {nombre_carpeta_img nombre_salida_archivo}


nombre_salida_archivo nombre_carpeta_img {} are not necessary if we have the python file in the folder containing wallpapers.




After running the command noted that generates a file called "background.xml" or the name you put as the 2nd parameter, default background.xml going to use.

Then go to " Preference" -> "Appearance " and click on the tab " Fund."

Steps to Change Background:













That's it!

Here is the link of the project for those who want to edit or part of it:
