It seems the way to get rid of icons in buttons in GNOME 2.26 has changed.

The line ‘gtk-button-images = 0′ in GTK themes does not work in GNOME 2.26 anymore.

There is now a new key in GNOME Configurator Editor. Below are the steps to disable buttons on icons in GNOME 2.26 and above.

• Press Alt + F2
• Type gconf-editor and hit Enter.
• Go to Desktop –> GNOME –> Interface
• Uncheck the key buttons_have_icons

The change will be immediate and there will no icons on buttons anymore.

This change will affect all GTK themes. Somehow this is more convenient as I need not edit GTK themes everytime.

So nice of Microsoft to add this feature in Windows 7.

Just right click on a ISO image and select ‘Burn Disc Image’, Windows 7 burns the image onto a blank disc.

No third party softwares needed.

Guess Microsoft forgot to change the Windows version here.

Disk Cleanup in Windows 7 still shows a warning about Windows Vista.

Isn’t this supposed to be changed?

works absolutely fine.

Downloaded and installed Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 and now have Windows XP running inside Windows 7 without any problems.

Finally finished downloading Windows 7 and installed it on my Dell. Went with replacing Windows Vista. :P  For a Beta release Windows 7 feels far more stable and responsive than Windows Vista SP1. It even boots faster than Vista.

Some random things about Windows 7:

1. The first thing I did was turn off UAC but apparently that has a side effect. Desktop gadgets cannot be used without turning on UAC. Don’t know why.
2. If you are beta testing Windows 7, be sure to read this great list of 30 Windows 7 secrets by Tim Sneath. Its a seriously great article about some cool things that are present in Windows 7.
3. If you are annoyed by the Send Feedback link present on all windows, use this simple registry hack from Tech Recipes to get rid of that.
4. Love the desktop slideshow feature of Windows 7. Just select a folder containing wallpapers and specify a rotation interval, Windows 7 will rotate the wallpapers. Earlier people used to downloaded third party software for doing this.
5. Windows 7 includes DivX support in Windows Media Player. So codec packs are not needed more.
