I have just upgraded my Kubuntu to 20.04 and looks great up up until now.
I was wondering if it's possible to change a virtual desktop env using both right+left mouse buttons and a mouse direction to define up/down/left/right (or to an opposite direction, like a "drag"). I used to do that with the very old Ubuntus (when compiz fusion was still a thing and the cube was mind blowing).
Ubuntu Software Updater just offered me a checkbox while updating libssl1.1amd64:
Restart services during package upgrades without asking?
Is this permanent or per update session? And what are the risks of it putting a spanner in my works?
(The button is, alas, not very informative.)
I can guess how this might be good and how it might potentially cause problems. Likewise, I can imagine times when it won't matter if it screws up my current workspaces + tasks, and times when I'm in the middle of something and can't risk the interruption.
So I can't really answer the question without first knowing whether by checking the box I make the choice permanent, and what risks there are to my workflow and various open docs etc. So does it, and what does it?
I would like to add some of my directories in /home to the quick access directories in e.g. Word. In windows it would do a simple drag and drop within the opening/saving dialogue. But that does not work here.
I'm trying to make a new gtk theme using the murrine engine, using Humanity (default in ubuntu 9.10) as a template.
You can grab the code in http://github.com/tutuca/themes
However, I found cumbersome the process of creating a new theme with it. There is no central starting point.
The documentation of both, the engine options (gtkrc's and stuff), and general theming practices (the format of the index.theme files, folders, bla bla) is scarce, How to's and tutorials are often old or subject to lots of opinionated debate and results confusing (to me, having a web developer background, at least :-).
So... I wanted to ask to the fellows gtk themers and artist out there:
Which tools you use to create a new theme, and how does your average workflow looks like?
I once tested Mac OS X and something that called my atention was Automator, a software to visually create scripts to automatize tasks on the desktop. Is there any Linux alternative for this software?
