SMPlayer Theme Faenza : An Elegant SMPlayer Theme To Match With Faenza Icon Theme

Playlist

In Linux world, there are many Media Player today. But for me, I've had my own choice : SMPlayer. It is a Qt based front-end for Mplayer, the (probably) greatest media player in Linux. By default, SMPlayer is capable to play almost all media format exist today. With w32codecs, it will be the perfect one ! Also, now, SMPlayer has already supported Mplayer2 (the next generation of Mplayer). It is better than VLC, and it is far more better than Totem.

Meanwhile, there is an icon theme that has been very popular in Linux desktop named Faenza Icon Theme. It is a simple but elegant, squared icon theme created by Tiheum. From the first release, I've admired this icon theme so much and I always use this icon theme and I've never been bored. It matchs so much with the Ubuntu's Light Themes.

Because of the those two great things, I've decided to make a little thing to meet the elegant look of Faenza to Smplayer. And finally, I've successfully arranged a theme for Smplayer based on Faenza Icon Theme and now I have my beloved Smplayer presents with my favorite icon theme.

As usual, I pack my little work into a debian package so you all debian and ubuntu users could use my little work easily. I packed the theme into deb and we could install it easily in our Smplayer installation. According to the ubuntu repository, I've made the package depends on smplayer-themes package so we need to make sure that the package smplayer-themes is installed. If not, we have to install it first :

sudo apt-get install smplayer-themes

Then, we can install the theme simply by terminal : sudo dpkg -i smplayer-theme-faenza_1.0-alwan1_all.deb. To use the theme, we just need to go to the Preferences menu in Options>Preferences>Interface>Icon Set and select the Faenza icon set. That's all. I hope you enjoy it.

Ubuntu Kylin 19.04 Review : A Gorgeous Windows 10 Clone

It's been quite a while since the last post I wrote in this blog. My daily life prevents me to write another stuff about Linux Desktop, and now I'm curious to take a look to the Ubuntu Kylin 19.04. Ubuntu is always be my favorite distro. It supports huge number of hardwares, it has probably the largest Linux software repository. It is also --the most important thing-- very easy to install, even for beginners. But for some couple of years, because of technical reason, I stopped to play around with the Ubuntu releases. I stood for KDE Neon and became my primary OS because of its simplicity and the look. Few days ago Ubuntu has released its newer version, Ubuntu 19.04 codenamed Disco Dingo. I'm yes impressed by the progress Ubuntu developer has made, especially the way they arrange the GNOME desktop to match the Ubuntu theme. But the most interesting flavor of this release is Ubuntu Kylin. It's an official Ubuntu flavor, designed for Chinese People with its own...

How To Speed Up Your KDE Plasma Desktop (KDE4)

KDE is one of the oldest desktop environment in Linux. While GNOME (the other desktop that as old as KDE) is trying to built its own style of user interface, KDE from the beginning seems to mimics the Microsoft Windows' "classic" user interface. Thus, KDE has its own user base, especially for them who still in love with the Windows' philosophy : a simple desktop, with a single taskbar in the bottom, and a start menu in the left. Personally, I love KDE. It's gorgeous and eyecandy. But sometimes, I feel KDE is little bit slow in my older hardwares. So, after some experiences, I've found some tweak how to make KDE Plasma Desktop Runs Faster . 1. Change The Compositing Engine Go to System Settings>Desktop Effect>Advanced , and change the Compositing type from OpenGL 2.0 to XRender. 2. Remove All Bloatware Apps There are some uneeded apps installed in Kubuntu (my favorite KDE distro) and you could safely remove them. Here are my list : ...

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...
