I just upgraded to Xubuntu 20.04 and noticed the whisker menu search has a short delay before it actually starts searching, perhaps 0.3 seconds. It then has an animation where the application list moves down and shows the results. I don't care for this and would prefer an instant search and no animation.
I looked through the whisker menu settings but there's nothing there to go back to how it was before. Is there another way?
Whenever I save a file in Chromium, the launcher is activated and the Chromium logo shakes around indicating a new window has opened. In doing so it takes the focus off of the newly launched save file window. This makes it impossible to use alt + s to save the file. I find this rather frustrating as this is a shortcut I use often. Is there a workaround for this problem?
I recently started using Nemo because Nautilus has gotten pretty terrible. I quite like it, but one thing is still bugging me: the shadow of the preview of every image and video file (see below).
I've been looking around in the /usr/share/themes/Ambiance/gtk-3.0/apps/nemo.css file but couldn't figure out how to get rid of that shadow.
In Nautilus you get a border instead of a shadow, so surely something is different. I just can't figure out what.
Any ideas?
EDIT: I've found the .png file of the shadow here, on the Linux Mint github. No luck finding that file on my system though.
I just updated to Ubuntu 13.10 and greatly dislike Nautilus 3.8 that comes with it. In Ubuntu 13.04 I used the instructions in this article to get back some of the features from Nautilus 3.4, but unfortunately that doesn't work anymore. I particularly miss dividing up the window with F3 to have two folders show at the same time. The new search function I also find pretty terrible.
I checked out Nemo but I would much prefer downgrading to Nautilus 3.4.
I don't really like the look of the borders on the windows of applications I'm running. I've tried disabling window decorator, but that takes away the title bar and shadow as well. Ideally, I would like to see it as described in this article, where they include the following image:
I use an external hard drive for my videos and pictures. I've used Ubuntu Tweak to change the path of those two default folders to the folders on my external HDD. Getting to this point is no problem (see image below). However, it stops working after I either restart my laptop or unplug my hard drive as the folders disappear from the Nautilus places list. Is there any way to fix this and set the default paths permanently?

Because Tomboy synchronization with Ubuntu One is being dropped soon, I want to sync my notes using Dropbox. I set the preferences so that Tomboy syncs with my local Dropbox folder: /home/duxk/Documents/Dropbox/Tomboy
When I save these settings, however, the folder path is changed automatically to /home/duxk and my Tomboy notes are synced to that folder instead.
Any idea how to fix this? Alternatively, where can I find Tomboy's configuration file that indicates which folder it syncs to?
I've decided to keep using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Besides the updates from the manually added PPA's, which other updates will I get?
In particular, I'm curious about:
I was looking at my power statistics and noticed three different colors are used: green, blue and red. What do they mean?
In Rhythmbox I sort my music by artist. When I quickly want to look for a song I'd like to type in the title of the song. Not in the standard search box up top, but by starting to type when I've clicked anywhere in the list of songs. A small search box appears in the right bottom corner just like it does in Nautilus. The thing is, when I sort by artist that search looks up the artist as well. When I sort by title, it searches by title.
I'd like to sort by artist and search by title, but not using the standard search feature. Is there a way to do that?
