One panel should be... never mind :p

Kind regards,

If you have a pager with as many as 11 virtual desktops, as I do, in one
panel, you need another panel for the apps, to keep your desktop real
estate clear, with both panels configured to hide.

We can keep this conversation going, Andrei.
You *know* we can!
Cheers!

Back in the day ... our panel was THE WHOLE screen, it was all green
on black text and we lusted after those new fangled EGA screens - it
was orange! not green!

Heady technology indeed.

Nahh, surely not... dunno what makes you think that :)

When I finally got my new fangled EGA screen, it was *configurable*: you
could use a button to choose to have it in orange, green, or with actual
colours. Back in the good old days when you were actually given a
choice.

Nowadays, if I type my login name all uppercase, I don't even get an
uppercase "PASSWORD:" prompt anymore :(


Ciao,

Enrico

Are we speaking about text console, or X?

For the former:

# echo "deb http://angband.pl/debian sid main" >>/etc/apt/sources.list
# apt-get install vtgamma
Run "vtgamma -e" to get a template (you can't get either orange nor green by
any combination of R/G/B gamma) then adjust the colours to your taste, then
output the given string, putting it into /etc/issue or bash's prompt if you
want that permanent.

For the latter:

# apt-get install compiz
$ compiz --replace
Enable the color filters and play with them, there's no orange/green monitor
emulation in the presets but you can make one.

Too bad, the user interface for compiz config is badly acting up in unstable
right now, but the functionality itself works fine.

stty olcuc

(Quick hint: "stty -olcuc" restores sanity.)
