What is Gnome Do? GNOME Do (Do) is an intelligent launcher tool that allows users to use the keyboard to rapidly perform tasks such as launching applications, manipulating files and data, running scripts, or sending e-mail. It is similar to the applications GNOME Launch Box (Linux Gnome), KRunner (Linux KDE), Quicksilver (Mac OS X), LaunchBar (Mac OS X) and Butler (Mac OS X).
What is Gnome Do – Docky? Gnome Do – Docky is a nice frontend for GNOME Do (Do) which introduces an entirely new way to use Gnome Do. Docky is a graphical user interface feature that provides the user with a way of launching and switching between applications.
I like very much Ethan Schoonover Solarized color palette. So I decided write a guide, howto get Solarized colors to most commonly used Linux terminals (Gnome-Terminal, Konsole, XFCE Terminal, Mate-Terminal), Text editors (Gedit, Vim) and IDEs (Eclipse, NetBeans). These are not my projects, so the greatest honor belongs, of course, these projects owners and Ethan Schoonover.
1. Install Needed Tools (git, mercurial, 7-zip) 2. Create and Change to Solarized Directory 3. Solarized Terminals 3.1 Solarized Gnome-Terminal 3.2 Solarized Konsole 3.3 Solarized Terminal (XFCE Terminal) 3.4 Solarized Mate-Terminal 4. Solarized Editors 4.1 Solarized Gedit 4.2 Solarized Vim 5. Solarized IDEs 5.1 Solarized Eclipse 5.2 Solarized NetBeans 1. Install Needed Tools (git, mercurial, 7-zip) This is normally easiest do with you package management system, like:
