The Joy of X - Master the Linux GUI

"X doesn’t impose any style on these windows; they’re all pretty plain by default. On top of X sits a piece of software called a window manager. You can have many different window managers, but only one can run at a time. The window manager effectively provides window dressing, which makes windows have a consistent style and behaviour. The window manager provides close, minimise and maximise buttons. It gives windows a metallic border, or a purple border, or a transparent background or anything else that can be imagined."

The Biggest Flaw in Gnome UI

Everywhere you go, any building you enter, any OS you operate, any settings window you open, one rule remains set in stone, “THE ESCAPE DOOR”. Always give an exit path, a way to make it all go away, make it look like nothing happened. But Gnome seems to think otherwise. Any settings window you open, all you see is a “close” button.

Fixed vs fluid - what type of layout to choose?

I browse in a wide-screen monitor, and while I don't maximize my browser window, I do make it wider than most standard fixed widths. So it's always interesting to me to read the many discussions on whether to use fixed width or flexible/liquid/fluid width layouts. It's especially interesting that while most polls I see on the question indicate that most designers prefer flexible width layouts, most pages that I visit are a fixed width. They might be elastic (having a fixed maximum or minimum width that scales to browser sizes - that's what the About.com pages are like. Don't believe me? Make your browser window smaller and then reload my home page. It goes from 3 columns to 2.), but elastic widths are hard to recognize as they look like fixed width layouts above their maximum width.

Konqueror, The Powerful KDE Browser

"Unlike the other two browsers, however, Konqueror also provides a native way to split the current window (Firefox users can use the Split Browser extension to get similar functionality). This method is handy for displaying multiple webpages side by side. If you use Konqueror as a file browser, it can also be handy for displaying local and remote files in the same window. To split the screen vertically, hit Ctrl-Shift-L. To split it horizontally, hit Ctrl-Shift-T. Ctrl-Shift-R closes the selected split."
