Default shortcut

english — Tags: , — @ 02:46

When setting your default Key Shortcut for launching your music player seems to always launch Rhythmbox. Rhythmbox is good but I prefer using Banshee, this is well known bug, so, the quickest solution is a simple symbolic link:

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/banshee /usr/local/bin/rhythmbox

Finally

GNOME 2.14 is here!!

GNOME 2.14

Personal opinion

I don’t like most recent Ubuntu‘s default theme.

Ubuntu theme

BTW. I’ve finished MonoCanvas.Element’s implementation by subclassing from Gtk.DrawingArea, and it looks very nice.

Improving Desktop

Days ago I wrote about using a tango-based desktop. I really like a blue-like desktop, there is a post in ubuntu forums that explains how to change the default usplash image and some other things in desktop to show it as blue-like one. I’m one of those people who don’t like default theme and enjoy using blue-based themes, the better of using free software is this that if you don’t like it you can always change it.

Don’t forget GRUB theme.

BTW. Don’t they look nice?.

Tango

Looking for a better visual experience? Then do tango!

There is the Firefox theme, and in GNOME Look there are metacity theme, icon theme, splash screen and GDM theme, and you also want to change your cursor theme, then Pinux cursors may like you.

Better visual effect.

Tango

Rhythmbox, Dapper and mp3.

Due some patent issues, playing mp3 requires installing some extra packages. Ubuntu ‘Dapper’ needs them, you need to install the gstreamer-0.10 plugins.

# apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-good gstreamer0.10-plugins-base gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse

Does the trick.

Running in Dapper

Ballon!

BTW. GNOME 2.13.91, runs better, faster and smoother. Quite impressive.
