A dark GTK3 theme for your GNOME 3 desktop ( read more )


Gnome 3 doesn't have too many fans among power users and when the father of Linux, Linus Torvalds, speaks out against Gnome 3 and switches to Xfce, it doesn't look good.


The Gentoo Linux 11.2 LiveDVD has been released. The latest update to the venerable Linux distro comes with plenty of updated packages with some of the latest and greatest releases included, such as Linux 3.0, KDE SC 4.7.0, GNOME 3 and so on


Network Security Toolkit (NST) 2.15.0 has been released. The latest update is based on Fedora 15 and brings all of the changes and new packages included in the latest Fedora release, including Gnome 3.0.


GNOME 3 has been out for a while now and it certainly got a lot of attention in the Linux world.


The latest update to the Debian edition of Linux Mint has arrived.


Welcome to the 161st issue of Softpedia Linux Weekly! The following Linux-based operating systems have been announced last week: Linux Mint 11 LXDE, GNOME 3 Live, Linux Mint Debian 201108 RC, Puppy Linux 5.2.8 and BackTrack 5 R1. In other news: Mozilla released the highly anticipated Thunderbird 6.0 mail client for Linux operating systems; Mark Sh..


The Fedora Project, proudly announced a few minutes ago (August 23rd) the immediate availability for download and testing of the Alpha version of the upcoming Fedora 16 operating system, due for release in November 2011.


A lot of people hate Canonical’s Unity desktop, but a lot of people also hate the current state of the GNOME 3.0 Shell too. For those that are still fond of the GNOME 2.x environment, there is a fork of GNOME2 that’s been little talked about up to this point. This fork is called the [...]


Dalam pengembangan Gnome 3.0, beberapa perombakan besar dilakukan. Termasuk penggantian nama (pemberian nama) pusat kendali (Control Panel) Gnome yang diberi nama System Settings. Penamaan ini menimbulkan reaksi keras dari maintainer System Settings KDE. Menurut Ben Cooksley selaku maintainer, menuntut pengembang Gnome yang bertanggungjawab untuk segera mengubah nama tersebut. Nama System Settings sudah dipakai oleh KDE [...]


Autohide Top Bar adalah fitur baru GNOME Shell extension yang dibuat oleh om fpmurphy yang bisa digunakan untuk menyembunyikan GNOME Shell Top Bar atau panel secara otomatis dan menyembunyikan Top Bar untuk tampil atau sembunyi (toogle) on-off. Untuk menginstall ekstensi ini, silakan unduh file installernya, dan ekstrak ke ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ kemudian tekan tombol ALT + F2 [...]


If you’ve been following the Gnome Shell development, you probably know that it doesn’t provide a GUI tool to tweak some basic settings like changing the GTK, Gnome Shell theme or icon theme, re-enable the minimize and maximize buttons, and so on. For this reason, John Stowers has created “Gnome Tweak Tool”, a ‘power user’ [...]


Salah satu hal yang menggangu saya sewaktu memakai Gnome sebagai desktop window adalah adanya icon-icon drive atau disk yang telah dimounting ke sistem pada desktop. Icon-icon itu serasa menyesaki tampilan desktop yang sesuai selera saya harus bersih. Untuk menghilangkan icon-icon ini, kita harus mengubah parameter dekstop milik Nautilus dengan menggunakan gconf-editor. Hasil pencarian tentang artikel [...]


Elegant Gnome Theme Pack, adalah salah satu dari beberapa themes gelap untuk Gnome yang saya suka. Baru-baru ini, EGT menyediakan update terbaru dan kabarnya sudah menyediakan themes untuk firefox secara otomatis. Secara rinci, berikut adalah fitur baru yang ada sampai ke Elegant Gnome Pack 0.7: Versi theme GTK+ yang baru, Theme Google Chrome dan Extension [...]


glib implements many common data structures, so you don’t have to reinvent the wheel every time you want a linked list. This section covers glib’s implementation of linked lists, sorted binary trees, N-ary trees, and hash tables. Lists glib provides generic single and doubly linked lists, GSList and GList, respectively. These are implemented as lists [...]


glib provides a number of functions for string handling; some are unique to glib, and some solve portability concerns. They all interoperate nicely with the glib memory allocation routines. For those interested in a better string than gchar*, there’s also a GString type. It isn’t covered in this book, but documentation is available at http://www.gtk.org/. [...]


glib wraps the standard malloc() and free() with its own g_ variants, g_malloc() and g_free(), shown in Figure 2-5. These are nice in several small ways: • g_malloc() always returns a gpointer, never a char*, so there’s no need to cast the return value. • g_malloc() aborts the program if the underlying malloc() fails, so [...]


glib has a nice set of macros you can use to enforce invariants and preconditions in your code. GTK+ uses these liberally—one of the reasons it’s so stable and easy to use. They all disappear when you define G_DISABLE_CHECKS or G_DISABLE_ASSERT, so there’s no performance penalty in production code. Using these liberally is a very, [...]


glib defines a number of familiar macros used in many C programs, shown in Figure 2-1. All of these should be self-explanatory. MIN()/MAX() return the smaller or larger of their arguments. ABS() returns the absolute value of its argument. CLAMP(x, low, high) means x, unless x is outside the range [low, high]; if x is [...]


glib is a C portability and utility library for UNIX-like systems and Windows. This chapter covers some of the most commonly-used library features in GTK+ and Gnome applications. glib is simple, and the concepts are familiar; so we’ll move quickly. For more complete coverage of glib, see glib.h or the free glib reference manual that [...]


These libraries are commonly used in Gnome applications, but are not a part of gnome-libs proper. gnome-print gnome-print is still somewhat experimental, but very promising. It uses libart_lgpl and works nicely with GnomeCanvas. It provides virtual output devices (called “print contexts“), so a single codebase can output to a print preview widget, to PostScript, and [...]


The libraries in this section are a part of the gnome-libs package and were developed specifically for the Gnome Project. libgnome libgnome is a collection of non-GUI-related routines for use by Gnome applications. It includes code to parse configuration files, for example. It also includes interfaces to some external facilities, such as internationalization (via the [...]


Gnome’s application development framework centers around a suite of libraries, all written in portable ANSI C and intended to be used on UNIX-like systems. Libraries which involve graphics realy on the X Window System. Wrappers are available which export the Gnome API to nearly any language you can think of, including Ada, Scheme, Python, Perl, [...]


Gnome is a free (or “open source” ) software development project started in 1997 by Miguel de Icaza of the Mexican Autonomous National University and a small team of programmers from around the world. Inspired by the success of the similar K Desktop Environment (KDE) project, the burgeoning popularity of the GNU/Linux operating system, and [...]
