Found a new addon for Firefox, Colorific...

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...n/colorific-1/

It lets you change the colors of web pages, and tweak them to your preference. I like dark pages, but you can make them just about any way you like. There's a couple glitches. The original page flashes for a second before the theme overrides it, and sometimes it doesn't completely take, and you need to refresh, but it's pretty nifty, and much easier than making a custom style sheet for every site you frequent.

Last weekend I installed my first UBUNTU STUDIO 64 12.4 on a spare computer. Everything is running excellent. My only initial angry gripes were the time it took to search forum fixes for a Flash Player in Mozilla which I never could figure out (using chrome works) and a code for a sound driver which did magically work. For somebody coming from Apple to WIndows to Ubuntu.. this has been the most difficult OP out of the gate.

GNU/Linux doesn't get updates from Adobe anymore. The older player usually works, but some sites require the latest. Chrome uses the Pepper api for Flash, and has the latest. Flash, and Adobe in general are blights on the internet. The sooner they're done, the better.

I could not agree more with adobe Flash. It has been buggy forever and the number one cause of lock-ups in my experience. It is a great program but better suited for gaming/dvd's etc..

Have never used anything other then Adobe software for graphic design so experimenting with these new programs will be interesting.

Initially I could not find a win 7 oem disc and that is the reason for UBUNTU.

After a week of flash player, netflix, vuze, DLink software, canon software, general interface navigation timebombs, I think I am done.

The idea and functioning of this OP is great but I just do not have the time to devote to searching forums on how to do anything outside of the interface.

going to look harder for that Windows disc and never look back.

Netflix is doable in a hacky fashion. I'd question supporting poor business practices though. Torrent the movies, and support local theatre. You'd be doing more for the arts.

Torrent clients are a dime a dozen. I'm not familiar with vuze specifically, but I've never seen it listed as being best when someone's asking. My suggestion would be qBittorrent.

Not much you can do about drivers. Devs do the best they can with closed projects. I try to support hardware makers that are friendly to libre software. Poor behavior should be punished, and good behavior rewarded, no matter the endeavor.

Finally, the interface... That's a matter of personal taste. I don't care for Unity, but other interfaces are trivial to install. I also find it hard to recommend Ubuntu anymore. I don't care for Canonical's corporate direction. They're trying too hard to be a low budget Apple, and don't take privacy, or user concerns into account.

Finally finally :^P

The OP was a Firefox addon. That can be on any system that runs Firefox. My suggestion of course is to use a GNU/Linux distro to protect choice and freedom.

Thanks for the tips. If I can get a few things to work then it will a good entertainment system for the cabin.
