Menjalankan avant-window-navigator dan cairo-dock Tanpa Compiz Fusion


Aplikasi dock avant-window-navigator dan cairo-dock ternyata bisa berjalan pada semua jenis composting manager. Sementara itu, untuk aplikasi compositing manager, kebanyakan dari kita hanya akrab dengan aplikasi Compipz Fusion yang cukup berat dan hanya bisa dijalankan pada VGA tertentu.


Namun ternyata, ubuntu desktop telah menyediakan sebuah fitur compositing manager simpel yang bisa dijalankan oleh semua jenis VGA card apapun, dan bisa untuk menjalankan aplikasi dock avant-window-navigator dan cairo-dock.


Fitur compositing manager tersebut ada pada window manager metacity, cara mengaktifkannya adalah sebagai berikut :


Jalankan run (tekan tombol Alt dan F2 di keyboard), dan ketikan :


'gconf-editor' (tanpa tanda petik)


Pada jendela gconf-editor (Configuration Utility) sebelah kiri, pilih menu apps>metacity>general, kemudian pada jendela bagian kanan, cari string bernama 'compositing_manager' dan centanglah (aktifkan). Terakhir tutup gconf-editor (Configuration Utility) dan sekarang kita sudah bisa menjalankan avant-window-navigator atau cairo-dock.


Selamat nge-Linux ! ^_^

Wah, betul-betul menakjubkan. Saya kira compositing manager hanya milik Compiz. Ternyata Metacity juga punya. Semula saya sempat putus asa mengingat VGA saya tidak mumpuni. Kini desktop saya bisa terlihat persis Mac OS X :) Nanti saya mungkin mengobrak abriknya lagi. Hehehe

Terima kasih mas. Artikel anda sangat berguna. Salam kenal, semoga kita bisa menjadi kawan yang baik.


Salam Blogger.

Q4OS 4.6 "Gemini" Review: A Real Hidden Gem

Distro hopping is a fun adventure. It's a pure joy you can only find in GNU/Linux world. It's a nature you want to escape from what I call 'comfort ecosystem'. You need to play, trying something new even for a few little differences. For a long time I've been using Ubuntu family as my daily driver. The main reason is probably just same as any other Ubuntu user: it's reliable. You can't go wrong with Ubuntu. It works almost in any device, even for the newest one. It is the ultimate Linux distro you can rely on. However, sometimes, you will feel bored. The temptation to flirt with other new distro is unbearable. There are a lot of hot new Linux distros waiting to try.  A Real Hidden Gem I've known this distro for a quite long time. At first, it offered Trinity Desktop as the main desktop, which brings me the sweet memories about KDE3. It is simply fast, stable, almost without any issue, and it is based on Debian. I install it on my old machine and I love t...

How To Install Mac OS X Lion Theme On Lubuntu / LXDE

Lubuntu 12.04 with Mac OS X Lion Theme, xcompmgr & cairo-dock [click to enlarge] Mac OS X is the special one in the Desktop market. So many people admire it because of its beauty, safety (yes, it is an UNIX) and its profesional image as “an OS for profesional modern art designer”. Yeah, Mac OS X has beautiful look and I do like its look-n-feel. And so, there are so many theme patcher to make our Microsoft Windows or Linux OS become Mac OS X in the appearance. In Linux Desktop, there are some project specialized in designing theme transformation pack to make our Linux desktop to be looked like Mac OS X. The most popular project probably is Mac4Lin. But, all of those projects was designed only for GNOME or sometimes support XFCE and how about LXDE? Our Star in the current lightweight Linux desktop? (Yes, LXDE is the most light-but-complete Linux desktop for now). Until now, there is no project that officially support LXDE. Basically, LXDE uses gtk (now still stay w...

QMMP Skins Pack for Ubuntu/Debian

QMMP is a great Winamp Like music player. For me, this is the greatest current living Winamp Like Music Player in Linux (Audacious seems to be more “gtk” interfaced music player than classic winamp). This is based on QT but works smooth and fast enough in gtk based desktops (lxde, xfce, gnome). For you that don't know yet what is QMMP, this is a popular app and installable easily by apt in Ubuntu and or Debian (squeeze, wheezy, sid) : sudo apt-get install qmmp Because of this, I decided to pack some cool Winamp classic skins to be a Debian package to fullfil the lack of additional skins in default QMMP installation. These are the skins : AmpBurger Bang & Olufsen DaizedAmp iTunesLeopard Kenwood-KDC-2019 Rapture s1-1.5d Winamp5-XMMS Winamp Classic And this is the file qmmp-skins-pack-0.1-all.deb you can download and install it to eyecandy your QMMP Player. Happy Linuxing !
