 Menu After Editing Menu Before Editing Since Gnome 3 has been messed up, many Linux folks finally switched into another Desktop Environments. One of the favorite destination is XFCE Desktop . It is very typical to the old Gnome 2 Desktop and still actively maintained by its developers, so people feel safe to use this Desktop. Unfortunately, IMHO, XFCE folks didn't write enough manual about XFCE Tweaking. One of the missing part about XFCE manual is in Editing XFCE Applications Menu. Why is editing XFCE Menu necessary? For me, as an ex-Gnome 2 user, it is necessary. IMHO, XFCE Menu arrangement is too bloated. There are many shortcut at the menu and too many separators and that is annoying my sight every accessing the menu. And I want to remove all the shortcuts and the separators at the menu, so how do I do this? Let's dive. XDG XFCE, just like another DEs in Linux, follow the FreeDesktop standard. The file configuration about the menu is put in /etc/xdg/menu...

The dynamics of the Linux Desktop is going to be very interesting. Fedora finally adopts MATE Desktop Environment in its official repo, Linux Mint forks Nautilus 3.4, SolusOS forks Gnome Fallback, Ubuntu decided to follow Gnome team and use Nautilus 3.6 in the next 13.04 release, and now, Thunar, the default file manager for XFCE, finally reached 1.6 version. So, is there any change? Or improvement? Yes. For us who love Gnome 2, I probably can say, we will, we should be very impressed by this release version of Thunar File Manager. Last day I downloaded the daily release of Xubuntu 13.04 in the sake of curiosity. Lets dive into it ! 1. Tabbed File Manager This feature presented finally, I guess, because, almost all of file managers in current Linux Desktop have this feature and so, it will be a stupidity if Thunar doesn't present this very common feature. Actually not a big deal, but for those who use XFCE for long time, this is the awaited one. 2. Volume Management Now...

Since Gnome 3 came as a disaster, many people later switched to some directions. One of then the destination for Gnome 2 folks is XFCE Desktop. It is light, gtk+ based and highly customizable just like the old Gnome 2 desktop. Overall we can say, XFCE is great. But there is one question about this Desktop that is not yet answered : How to make the keyboard shortcut for XFCE Menu ? In Gnome 2, or LXDE we can use Alt+F1 combination to pop up the Application menu, but how about in XFCE ? I've sought the way but I got nothin'. In the end, I was just looking around the XFCE Desktop and I found that the shortcut Alt+F1 is used to show the XFCE4 Help page. And so, I think about replacing the executable into the command to pop the XFCE4 Application menu up. Here are the steps : 1. Open text editor and put this simple script xfce4-popup-applicationsmenu Save as xfhelp4 2. Make the script executable chmod +x xfhelp4 3. Rename the default xfhelp4 executable in the system to any n...

 Change the amout of image file size we want to generate   PCmanFM shows the thumbnails for all images Since GNOME went to version 3 (which is a disaster), LXDE is now one of the most popular and most used desktop environmen ts in Linux, alongside MATE and XFCE. It is good looking, modern and amazingly fast. But don't you aware? That PCmanFM, the default File Manager for LXDE, ain't able to show all of our images/pictures/photos thumbnail. At the first time I realized this, I was lil bit confused. Why, and what happened ? Was this a bug ? Apparently, this is not a bug. It is the default setting of PCmanF m for the sake of speed. This file manager won't show thumbnails for images/pictures with file size more than 2 MB. So, to make PCmanFM able to show thumbnail for images with size more than 2 MB, we have to set it. To do that, just go to menu Edit > Preferences > Display, and at the bottom, change the value of  "Do not generate thumbnails ...

If we use MATE or LXDE, we probably often got a bug in Network Manager Applet (nm-applet) particularly if we use a mobile broadband connection. The bug is there is no icon when the connection is established. What does really cause this ? Well, apparently, the cause is very small, actually not a big deal. The cause is in the crappy default gnome icon theme (yeah, tango icon theme and the gnome icon theme is the ugliest icon themes ever). To fix this, just follow these simple steps : Choose a good icon theme for 24 pix panel size (I took an icon from /usr/share/icons/Faenza/status/24/nm-signal-100.png Rename the icon to be nm-wwan-tower.png Move the icon into the system sudo mv nm-wwan-tower.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/22x22/apps Logout login, or reboot the system, and last, try it by connecting to the Internet.

To play music, there are many choices now in Linux. But as I've tried those stuffs, from Amarok, gMusicBrowser, Rhythmbox, Banshee to Clementine, I found that the best is XMMS in sound quality. Yes, it's an obsolete app. Even we can call it "an ancient app" from the ancient world. It uses an ancient technology gtk+1.2, but strangely, it has very great sound quality : Clear in the Treble, Soft in the Bass, But, how and where we could get this app and install it onto our current, newer Linux distro ? I know, even the libraries for this app is not available anymore in any current Linux software repository. And so, I share my collection to you HERE . Installation Stay online and connect your apt to your official Linux distro's software repository (Ubuntu,   Debian). Extract the .tar.gz enter to the folder by terminal  Install them manually by terminal :  sudo dpkg -i *.deb If you found a dependency error, just fix it  :  sudo apt-get -f install ...
