Problem With Font Color In Ubuntu 12.04

Sometimes when you change setting to make your themes nicer, it makes your fonts can't easily read. I found this solution.

 mv /home/user/.config/dconf/user /home/user/.config/dconf/user.old 

All your setting will lost but you'll get the contrast.

How To Remove Envelope Icon From Top Panel Ubuntu 12.04

If you don't like to use the envelope ( like myself)  just remove it from the panel. Code:
sudo apt-get purge indicator-message

or just open the Ubuntu Software Center and search for "indicator-messages" then uninstall.
But i prefer the apt-get.

Ubuntu 12.04 Black Screen After Logout

There were lots of suggestions and answers I found regarding this matter but the one that worked on my end was a very simple one. It was all about the screen display resolution. My laptop has a standard 1366 x 768 (16:9) resolution. For some reason this was changed to 1360 x 768. 
The change is very minor but this, in fact, was the cause on why I get a black/blank screen when I logout. After restoring to the original resolution, everything is now back to normal and working as it should be.

Go To  System Setting 

Choose Display
ok.

Change The Purple Background (Splash Screen) Ubuntu 12.04

In this tutorial we will see how to change the background image (splash screen) of the GRUB boot loader under Ubuntu 11.10/12.04 or older.



When you start your system, a boot menu will show up containing an ordered list of operating systems and kernels. This boot menu is black by default and can be customized as follows:

Start the Ubuntu terminal and install first the grub2-splashimages package with this command:
sudo apt-get install grub2-splashimages
GRUB spalsh images are stored in the /usr/share/images/grub folder, you can access it with this command:
sudo nautilus /usr/share/images/grub
If you want to use a custom image, make sure it is in the TGA format, then place it in that folder. After deciding which image to use as splash screen for the GRUB2 boot loader, edit now the /etc/default/grub file with this command:
sudo gedit /etc/default/grub
At the end of the file, add this line:
GRUB_BACKGROUND=/usr/share/images/grub/YOUR-IMAGE.tga
Replace YOUR-IMAGE.tga with your custom image name.



When you finish, press CTRL+Q and save your file. Run now this command:
sudo update-grub
Restart now your computer to see if changes are successful (hold down the SHIFT key to bring up the GRUB boot screen while rebooting).                                                                                                                              Source
