I wrote this script to parse Wikiquote's Quote of the Day (QOTD) and display it on a line in a dialog window. It is very simple and requires lynx and zenity (ubuntu main repository). I have used this...

going for minimal, here:


own_window yes
own_window_type override
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager

double_buffer yes

I can grab a 400Mhz 512Mb minipc for about 30 quid. More than enough for IceWM or what have you.

i agree, but GIMP can get there with a bit more work. It's taken years for PS, Illiust, etc to get to this level of refinement, and they can't do exactly the same thing overnight in OSS.

In any...

No matter how bad the layout is, or how strange the way layers work in GIMP, shortcuts and hotkeys are the key to efficient work.

Where GIMP has them they are sparsely, patchily, or badly...

I used to.... until I started using Linux.

I don't have a midi system or any other expensive equiment but I would make stuff using fruityloops. Quite powerful, that was.

Now even just getting...

Yeah. Upgrading will work perfectly providing you havent installed foreign stuff or tweaked it or done whatever nonstandard thing with your system.



I don't quite understand what this means.

there is a simple test for all this.

ask Grandma what


find . -name "*_40*" -execdir bash -c "mv \$1 \"\`echo \$1 | sed s/_40/\ /g\`\"" -- {} \;

means.

If she cannot answer, Linux is...

Agreed. v0.1 stable is in the feisty repos, so there is no reason not to now.


Attaching integration script for catfish:


chmod +x integrate-catfish.sh ; ./integrate-catfish.sh

to run it

That's delicious!

It's great to see a fully consistent icon set in Feisty. <3 Tango project.

Regardless if it is the 'right' thing not to have a cancel button or not - you should only drop the icon until you can guarantee all apps won't use a cancel button. I thought the aim for ubuntu was a...

I'm afraid the app only lets you open the item or parent folder of the item, it is not integrated with the environment.

kalikiana's beagle front end might allow you to do this, though.

Nice flamebait title. Perhaps you can elaborate on that since it has little to do with ONE issue - crappy samba in gnome - that proved too much for a windows power user.

ignore the community and it's a decent tech news site

I love lossless compresssion, unlimited palettes AND transparency.

You can't say all that for jpg or gif.

IMO its the only choice for archival purposes, but JPG and GIF are still perfect for...

rhythmbox is more a library management tool than a music player



of course, but if ubuntu took this approach for everything it wouldn't be ubuntu. apt-get or synaptic are there for a reason.

I think it's expected for people to use multimedia players, such as Totem or MPlayer; or Library management Itune-alikes such as Amarok or Banshee.

As an XMMS user, give me simplicity any day!...

The command filemanager filename is being executed, so you can either change how your filemanager deals with these files; or you can use search-for-files -p to cause the script to open the parent...

New month, new desktop.

Theme is ThinBlack, conky is in the top left, xmms ultraclean is in the bottom right. Desktop is from http://www.natures-desktop.com/

Did I mention that it's IceWM?

I really like how this looks with the Tangerine theme. Changed all fonts to 8 point sans, though.

Anyone know why this theme...

conky and gdeskcal use pseudo-transparency, where they take the desktop supplied by icewm-session and crop and move it within themselves. That's part of those apps. Eterm can do the same thing.

just showing off the fruits of much labor with icewm
