Quick Tip for Ubuntu: Shade/Rollup Window with Mouse wheel

This one was driving me nuts. For some reason this was already active on my desktop running Karmic Koala at work, but I just could not remember if or how I activated it. I don't think I did. It must have already been turned on when I installed Karmic Koala back in November. Anyway.

Run gconf-editor (Alt+F2 and enter 'gconf-editor' and Run) Use the tree on the left to browse to /apps/gwd/ Select the key mouse_wheel_action and change it to 'shade'

Hope this helps somebody!

Hi, I’m Rick Vause. I am a web developer that loves Python.

I have always been interested in technology and software. I am a keen supporter of a number of open source projects.

I am obsessed with my ideas and attempts to continuously better myself in both my work and leisure time. I am always learning and trying to improve as long as there is space left in my head. I often find interesting, new things (interesting and new to me, at least) that I share on my blog.

I also like music and art.

I once spent 2 months working on a self-portrait that turned out terrible so for the avatar portrait I turned to my better half, Klaudia.

If you have any questions, comments or wish to talk to me about a project you are working on, please contact me.

I also try to be social so you can find me on Twitter, Facebook and Last.fm.
