When setting your default Key Shortcut for launching your music player seems to always launch Rhythmbox. Rhythmbox is good but I prefer using Banshee, this is well known bug, so, the quickest solution is a simple symbolic link:
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/banshee /usr/local/bin/rhythmbox

I don’t like most recent Ubuntu‘s default theme.

BTW. I’ve finished MonoCanvas.Element’s implementation by subclassing from Gtk.DrawingArea, and it looks very nice.

Days ago I wrote about using a tango-based desktop. I really like a blue-like desktop, there is a post in ubuntu forums that explains how to change the default usplash image and some other things in desktop to show it as blue-like one. I’m one of those people who don’t like default theme and enjoy using blue-based themes, the better of using free software is this that if you don’t like it you can always change it.
Don’t forget GRUB theme.
BTW. Don’t they look nice?.

Looking for a better visual experience? Then do tango!
There is the Firefox theme, and in GNOME Look there are metacity theme, icon theme, splash screen and GDM theme, and you also want to change your cursor theme, then Pinux cursors may like you.
Better visual effect.

Due some patent issues, playing mp3 requires installing some extra packages. Ubuntu ‘Dapper’ needs them, you need to install the gstreamer-0.10 plugins.
# apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-good gstreamer0.10-plugins-base gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse
Does the trick.


BTW. GNOME 2.13.91, runs better, faster and smoother. Quite impressive.
