I switched to Zorin OS because Ubuntu was not working for dual monitors. Thankfully it does in Zorin. The computer is now running the Nvidia drivers so that all of the effects work in Zorin as well. With this said, I have a few questions:
1. Now that I have switched to the Nvidia drivers, the screensaver won't work. (It worked before then) What originally happened was that the screen just went black instead of the screensaver. The screen was still "on" though. It was not powered down. After changing the screensaver and the time, to be activated things changed. Now, the screen starts to go black like it is going to start the screensaver, but then it waves back up. After a period of time the monitors will power down. So, how do I get the screensaver to work again?
2. When I go to change the icons in the Z menu bar, it gives 3 options. If I changed to a different icon set, none of the icons change. Is this a bug, or is there something I need to do to get it to work. I have tried logging out and resetting and in both cases, it just stays with the default icons.
3. Any idea why the Pidgin icon is an ugly 2 person icon instead of its cute bird symbol that I see in every Linux screenshot? Any idea on how to get the bird icon to show up?
4. Speaking of icons, how do I install custom icon packs in Zorin OS? If I could find them, I would like to install of Penguin icons.
5 Can I install Gnome 3 and tweaks in Zorin OS? I checked the software center and none of them were available. How about other GUI like KDE? Can those be installed and used with Zorin OS, or am I stuck with the windows look?
Thanks.
