Well, I don't know what I did, but after a reboot today, my desktop effects were disabled. In my attempts to turn them back on, I discovered that all the desktop effects plugins are missing in the system settings. Must have been an update gone bad?

I have an Atheros wireless card and when I suspend, about half the time, the card doesn't wake up on resume. Is anyone using the RC have this problem? I'm kind of hoping it's been fixed somewhere along the way. I know it worked fine in LM 8.

Your guy Clem... now THAT was funny.

No problem! Good luck and have fun!

Have you looked at:
Right click desktop, choose Change Desktop Background.

Click the Themes tab, press the customize button, then go to the colors tab. Try adjusting the Selected Items colors.
