Ubuntu Developer Week

February 18th, 2008

Ubuntu Logo

It’s Ubuntu developer week, meaning you can join sessions to learn about how Ubuntu is developed.

To join, go in the #ubuntu-classroom channel at irc.freenode.net

Unfortunately, I can’t be in the sessions myself, but hopefully alot of other people will join instead.

More info at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDeveloperWeek.

Being my first post in a long time, and having used Ubuntu in my months of absence, I think it’s appropriate to have a short tut on making the terminal translucent. Roar.

1. Open the terminal (In the Applications menu under Accessories)

2. In the menu bar click Edit, and then select Current Profile

3. Next, click on the Effects tab and then click on the button next to Transparent Background

4. Move the slider to change the opacity

5. You’re done! :)
