admin — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 00:36:12 +0000

Font Manager is a font management application for the GNOME desktop. It is not intended to be a professional-grade font management solution, but rather a simple application suitable for the needs of most desktop users and even some graphics designers who may need to manage just a few thousand font files.

admin — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 10:25:26 +0000

A ton of users are dissatisfied with the decision to change the buttons on the title bar, however, it’s incredibly easy to change back and forth between the old (Karmic) look, and the new (Lucid Alpha) look. You do not have to be on Lucid to test out the new look. These commands work fine on Karmic and (probably) older.

admin — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 17:33:46 +0000

Uninstaller for Adobe AIR is an easy solution for uninstalling Adobe AIR applications. When installing an AIR application it is possible to first save the installation program file (. air).

Thanks to Uninstaller for Adobe AIR it becomes very easy to uninstall an AIR application since it suffices to choose it from a list of installed applications and click on an Uninstall button.

admin — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 15:13:47 +0000
