Hi and welcome,

Screenlets for weather and other widgets.
Cheese for desktop video.
Mail, try Thunderbird, I have never used Postler.
Rhythmbox or Banshee for Itunes.
When you drag a window across the desktop, it will remain where you put it, so don't drag it if you don't want half a window!!.
Control Center > Appearance for a theme change.

Hope this helps :D

Regards Wolfman :D

Hi,

install "Shutter" for screenshots.

In the theme changer you can download other themes by clicking on the link provided at the bottom of that page!!.

Control Center > Personal > Appearance > Themes > Get more themes online (bottom of that page).

Try installing "xvidcap" for your desktop screenshots, I have never used it so maybe one of the others can help you!!. (Sorry)

Regards Wolfman :D
