    XFCE tips - Desktop icon size/placement/taskbar

    Tips: 1) Fit many more icons onto your desktop than the default allows you by going to: Settings --> Desktop --> Desktop --> Icons (tab) and change the icon size down to around 30. This way the icons are much smaller but still pleasantly readable. 2) Move icons around on the desktop...

    Better nub-mouse accuracy - Make it slower!

    Hi all, This is just a heads-up for anyone who may be frustrated with the nub-as-mouse pointing accuracy, especially if you have an auto-hide task bar. For those who find the default nub-mouse speed to be too fast for accurate placement: Slowing down the nub-mouse-movement speed to around...

    Pndmanager minor suggestion - Icons

    Could the pndmanager icons for "Sync", "Esc/F12" etc. pleaaase be made a bit larger? I have a "Dory" memory and am continuously squinting at the screen to check which buttons to press to sync, abort, etc. This would make the usability that much greater in what is IMO the best management app for...

    opkg update/upgrade

    Hi all, I happened to do an opkg update and upgrade on my SD-installed Zaxxon HF6 alpha 4 and it seems to have messed up my install (especially the keyboard config). Anyone else encountered this? I'm wondering why the Angstrom official repo should touch Pandora-specific configurations.

    Wannabe Cross-Compiler(Er)

    Hi folks, I'm not a developer and never did any cross-compilations before but I'm quite an old hand at native compiling from source (x86). I would like to do some cross-compiles for the Pandora and have two questions/requirements. 1) Is cross-compiling for arm just the same matter of knowing...

    Mechanical Stress Tests

    Hiya all, Has mechanical stress testing (don't laugh) been considered/done for the OP? I have almost blind faith at this point that the electronics will last quite a bit but for example: How many lid twists would the LCD ribbon cable withstand (especially now that it is being wrapped in...
