This is (I think) the correct way of doing what I tried to do with an extension. My objective was to reduce a bit the size of the gnome shell top bar, and especially the font size.
The correct way is to use a “user” theme. What I did is to create [...] One of the thing I never got to understand is why the Gnome desktop do not have the option (present in KDE) to use the content of a directory to randomly pick an image for the “wallpaper” of the desktop. There are a lot of solution outside, but I would like to share with you [...] Notice: this is NOT the best way to achieve this. I have posted a much better way… This is my first Gnome Shell extension… so that will not be a coding style gem, but it works for me and I think it’s quite useful, so…
The idea is to change the look [...] Ok, after the upgrade to Ubuntu 11.10 and the switch to Gnome 3, I discovered that my nice xfig thumbnailers stopped working. After a bit of struggle, I discovered why. The “gconf” mechanism of Gnome2 is being phased out, so now there is another way (simpler, when you know it) of doing the same thing. [...] 
So, you have a (big) collection of photo, and you want to rapidly browse trough them and select a subset for further consideration for, for example, printing or editing them. What I would like was that, while in the image viewer, with a simple key press I could copy the file to another, pre-chosen directory. [...] NOTE: this only works for Gnome 2. For Gnome 3, see an update here… What it is: a thumbnail is the little image that Nautilus (the file manager of Gnome) shows to represent the file. Most of file types has a standard thumbnailer, and you see a representation of the file such as a [...] Just found out that the task of adding a new application for a new file-type on gnome (so that I can run it by double click, or from the mail client on an attachment, is easier than I suspected. The problem: my bank send me my account information in files that are managed by an [...] If you, like me, have problems with multimedia under Ubuntu (Karmic at least), try these little tricks before anything. I hope they will help. First of all, take a look medibuntu repositories. That alone solves a lot of problems.And if are upgrading from old versions of Linux, clean up the audio configuration. After that, try [...] I have finally (thanks to a kind of flu, really) found the time to update, quite rewrite, my gksyn plugin, a little gkrellm applet to control the touchpad present in most laptop. In the meantime, I discovered and re-discovered a couple of really nasty details when programming in Unix environment, like the buffering of the [...] I have a laptop (a Toshiba one, a 13″ nice thing) which is running more or less happily with Ubuntu Karmic. Lot of good things but some very annoying behaviour sometime. One of them is the fact that it resumes automatically when opening the lid and the AC plug is in. I don’t like it. [...] |
