Tool To Display Keystrokes In Screencasts Screenkey 0 9 Released PPA

Tool To Display Keystrokes In Screencasts Screenkey 0 9 Released PPA Screenkey is a tool which displays key presses on the screen, useful for screencasts. Screenkey itself cant be used to create screencasts, its use is to display your keystrokes on the screen. To record your Linux desktop, I recommend SimpleScreenRecorder. Screenkey 0.9 was released a couple of days ago and is available in the main WebUpd8 PPA. Changes in the latest version include: Ctrl+Ctrl detection now works correctly in more scenarios; Ctrl++ (and similar sequences with repeated characters) are now shown as Ctrl+"+" for improved readability; Shift+Backspace is now recognized and shown correctly; Several multimedia keys are now supported. If "FontAwesome" is installed, the correct symbol is also displayed instead of a text abbreviation (in my test, volume up/down and mute/unmute worked while play/pause/next/previous didnt however, other keys like brightness also worked)ge; Visualization of white...

Tool To Customize Numix Theme Colors Oomox Sees New Release Now Available In PPA

Tool To Customize Numix Theme Colors Oomox Sees New Release Now Available In PPA Oomox is a tool that allows creating different color variations of the popular Numix GTK2/GTK3 theme. It features built-in presets, so you can easily generate various themes without much effort, or you can use the tool to change the theme colors individually. Oomox supports GTK3 and GTK2, and it includes Openbox and Xfwm4 themes. Unity is also supported, though changing the window buttons color is not yet supported.  The required GTK version is 3.16 or newer - as far as Ubuntu is concerned, that means Oomox supports Ubuntu (and derivatives: Ubuntu GNOME, Xubuntu, Ubuntu MATE and Lubuntu) 15.10 and 16.04. The latest Oomox 0.17.0 , released recently, brings options for roundness and gradient, along with various other improvements. Also, to make it easier to install in Ubuntu, I uploaded it to the main WebUpd8 PPA (based on the AUR package). Changes in Oomox 0.17.0: new presets: gnome-colors monovedek-g...

Synapse is up and running again PPA available

Synapse is up and running again PPA available The demise of Synapse was quite a loss for the community. Though there are plenty of launcher alternatives in Linux, nothing came close to the accuracy, speed or versatility of Synapse. But there is good news. Synapse launcher is alive and kicking again! Install Synapse in Ubuntu 14.04, Ubuntu 14.10, Ubuntu 15.04 After a brief hiatus, Synapse is back and is as good as ever. In our eOS Freya review, we had only high praises for the nimble implementation of its default Launcher. Even that cant match the speed and functionality of Synapse by a long stretch. Synapse to me is one of the most reliable and quickest of Launchers available for Linux. And I prefer it over Unity Launcher any day. Not only does it gets the work done with zero fuss, Synapse actually looks pretty cool too. Lets see how we can install Synapse in Ubuntu using PPA. A bleeding edge version of Synapse is available for Ubuntu 14.04, Ubuntu 14.10, Ubuntu 15.04 via launchpad. No...
