Download Manager Tweak provides a modification of the Firefox download manager that changes its appearance.
The Download Manager Tweak extension streamlines the current Firefox download manager. The extension allows the Firefox download manager to be opened in a separate window, the sidebar, or a tab.
The extension also modifies the default appearance of the download manager to make it more concise and intuitive.
Main features:
- The download manager (DM) can now be opened in a separate window, the sidebar, or a tab.
- The toolbar can be positioned on the top or bottom of the DM window.
- The user can select which buttons should on the toolbar.
- The skin support has been fixed.
- Other minor options.
- New: Rudimentary download queue -- highly experimental

i815 linux tweak project is i815-family chipset tweaker and optimizer for improve performance. Remember that some settings can crash your system.

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK

Installation:

From root user tpye "./install.sh".
If success, module will compile and plased into modules directory.

Usage:

modprobe i815tweak

Without any parameters nothing changes. In /proc/i815info you can see actual chipset settings.

Or see "dmesg" for error info..

For list all module parameters check "modinfo i815tweak".

cas=[2,3]
CAS# Latency (CL)

ras2cas=[2,3]
SDRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay (SRCD)

ras=[2,3]
SDRAM RAS# Precharge (SRP)

refX=[0-7]
SDRAM Mode Select (SMS). These bits select the operational mode of the MCH DRAM interface. The special modes are intended for initialization at power up.

0 = DRAM in Self-Refresh Mode, Refresh Disabled
1 = Normal Operation, 100 MHz System memory – Refresh interval 15.6 uSec
133 MHz System memory – Refresh interval 11.7 uSec
2 = Normal Operation, 100 MHz System memory – Refresh interval 7.8
133 MHz System memory – Refresh interval 5.85 uSec
3 = Normal Operation, 100 MHz System memory – Refresh interval 1.28 uSec
133 MHz System memory – Refresh interval 0.96 uSec
4 = NOP Command Enable. In this mode all processor cycles to SDRAM result in a NOP Command on the SDRAM interface.
5 = All Banks Precharge Enable. In this mode all processor cycles to SDRAM result in an All Banks Precharge Command on the SDRAM interface.
6 = Mode Register Set Enable. In this mode all processor cycles to SDRAM result in a mode register set command on the SDRAM interface.
7 = CBR Enable. In this mode all processor cycles to SDRAM result in a CBR cycle on the SDRAM interface.

dct57=[0, 1]
DRAM Cycle Time (DCT). This bit controls the number of SCLKs for an access cycle.
0 = Tras = 7 SCLKs and Trc = 9 SCLKs.
1 = Tras = 5 SCLKs and Trc = 7 SCLKs (Default)

bnr=[0,1]
Block New Request Lookahead

agp=[0,1]
AGP4X Override

sba=[0,1]
Sideband Address Enable (SBA)
1 = Enable. The sideband addressing mechanism is enabled.
0 = Disable

fw=[0,1]
Fast Writes Enable (FW). This bit must always be programmed to 0. The chipset will behave
unpredictably if this bit is programmed with 1.

cpc=[0,1]
Command per cycle

sm=[0,1]
SM Always Bypass

hacqs=[0,1]
Host Aperture Cycle Queue Slot
0 = Default value. No dedicated queue
1 = A dedicated queue slot is reserved

clt=[0,1]
CPU Latency Timer
0 = Deferrable processor cycle will be Deferred immediately after receiving another ADS#
1 = Deferrable processor cycle will only be Deferred after in has been held in a “Snoop Stall” for 31
clocks and another ADS# has arrived (default).

dpcp=[0,1]
DRAM Page Closing Policy (DPCP)
0 = Precharge All during the service of any “Page Miss” access.
1 = Precharge All during the service of any “Page Miss” access.

magwe=[0,1]
Memory Arbiter Grant Window Enable (MAGWE).
0 = Disabled. Enforce fixed priority.
1 = 24 clocks limiting host, 24 clocks guaranteed to low priority graphics stream.

EXAMPLE:

modprobe i815tweak cas=2 ras2cas=2 ras=2 bnr=1 dct57=1

Optimoz Tweaks automatically performs actions based on the cursor.

Automatically shows the sidebar when the mouse cursor touches the left window border, and closes it when the cursor is over the web page again.

EZ Improver works well to improve dull, dingy images.

Leaving the Merge Layers option un-checked allows you to tweak the layer opacities if desired.

GNOME Advanced Preferences is an UI to tweak advanced GNOME preferences.

GNOME Advanced Preferences allows you to tweak hidden GNOME preferences, including custom keyboard shortcuts to execute specific commands, etc.

Stuff generally only available through GConf.

Paintball is a standalone paintball game utilizing a modified Quake2 engine. Paintball2 is a fast-paced first-person game with capture the flag, elimination, siege, and deathmatch (free-for-all) styles of gameplay. This project focuses on enhancing the Quake2-based engine it uses.
Enhancements:
- Bugfix: Fixed crash caused by status packet sent while playing a demo.
- Bugfix: Fixed crash when attempting to load bad wav file (drip_amb.wav) in OpenAL.
- Bugfix: Fixed macro processing in $$$var scenario.
- Tweak: Switched over to UDP for communicating with the login server. (major rewrite)
- Tweak: Switched to UDP to download the serverlist. (major rewrite)
- Tweak: Changed default timeout value to 30 seconds.

Suse Kickoff for Kubuntu is a version of the new Kickoff KDE menu for Suse, made to work on a Kubuntu workstation.

Tweak it some more by installing beagle and kerry. Thanks to jvc jvcharles you can download the 2.2 mb file right here and you can change the launch button by renaming the .png and mng image files in the /kicker/pics folder.
