Neutronium 0.6
Neutronium provides a darker Mac-lookalike theme. more>>
Neutronium provides a darker Mac-lookalike theme.
Neutronium is a darker Mac-lookalike theme. It contains themes for Metacity, Cgwd/Emerald and GTK2.
The GTK2 theme is split in two versions.
Neutronium-High has higher contrast, white text. Neutronium-Low has lower contrast, light grey text.
The Cgwd theme is split in four versions. Two of them have 7px borders and the other two 2px borders. There is also the choice between sharp or rounded corners. If you use Emerald/Beryl, rename the files to .emerald and import.
The same applies to Metacity themes. Download the tarball, extract it and import the parts in Gnome Theme Manager.
Firefox web form color fix and icon fix for Open Office are provided in /Neutronium-Theme-Pack/Neutronium-GTK2/instructions.txt
Enhancements:
- Thanks to quimchin, colors in Firefox can now be fixed. There is no longer need for a separate Firefox theme.
- Fixed the Nautilus separator issue and added instructions for fixing Open Office 2. (big thanks to zammi)
- There were some problems with the server this theme was hosted on. Gnome-look only offers to host one file per theme page, and I didnt want to split the parts on diffrent pages. Now all parts (Metacity, Cgwd and GTK2) are in one tarball.
- Some minor pixmap changes in the GTK2 themes. 2px borders added to Cgwd and Metacity themes.

bbweather 0.6.3
bbweather is a tool for blackbox that displays weather conditions. more>>
bbweather is a tool which displays the current weather conditions in an decorated window, simulating the look of the Blackbox toolbar (Blackbox is a Windowmanager for X11). bbweather is heavily based on "bbdate" by John Kennis.
Furthermore, bbweather was inspired by wmWeather by Michael G. Henderson, from where I grabbed the perl-script that fetches the weather-conditions from your local station.

GnomeBaker 0.6.0
GnomeBaker is a Gnome CD/DVD burning application. more>>
GnomeBaker is a GTK2/Gnome CD/DVD burning application. Ive been writing it in my spare time so progress is fairly slow.
Its more of a personal project as I wanted to have a go at developing on Linux and I figured that as I had got this far I may as well let it loose on the world. Maybe someone will like it and use it.
It requires a recent version of cdtools (cdrecord, readcd, cdda2wav and mkisofs), version 2 or greater should be okay.
Main features:
- Create data cds
- Blank rewritable disks
- Copy data cds
- Copy audio cds
- Burn existing cd iso images
- Can burn via scsi and atapi on linux kernels 2.4 and 2.6. Basically if cdrecord works then GnomeBaker will work.
- Drag and drop to create data cds (including DnD to and from nautilus)
- Create audio cds from existing wavs, mp3, flac and oggs
- Integrate with gconf for storage of application settings
- Burn DVDs.
- Supports multisession burning
- Blank/Format DVDs
- Burn Cue/Bin files
- Burn data cds on the fly

SMSTerm 0.6.1
SMSTerm is an application that uses the ICQ2000 protocol. more>>
SMSTerm is an application that uses the ICQ2000 protocol to present you a shell on your mobile phone which allows you to interact with your computer from any mobile on a GSM network. It runs a shell on a pty, and allows you to directly send commands to the shell through SMS. Minimal authentication is done over SMS before spawning a shell and offering it to the user on the mobile phone. It is very useful for remote administration tasks, or checking out the status of the network, or just to run some small chores on your system while you are away. It uses Expect.pm in the background. SMSTerm also includes a script to send SMS through the ICQ network from the command line to any GSM mobile, and also includes a PHP script to set up a Web->SMS gateway.
This is a simple perl script to allow all you people out there who cannot live without having a peek at what your box at home has to say, when you are on the move. All you need is a GSM mobile, and an ICQ account. An ICQ account is required because it is used as the
underlying protocol in SMSTerm to transfer/recieve SMSs.
Yoy can use this application to contact systems behind NATs, as the kernel ships with kernel modules to allow ICQ to be masqd reliably. It is a good way to telnet into your system, which maybe behind a firewall, and do some chores, when youre halfway accross the globe
Enhancements:
- included the new vICQ.pm version 1.10: the earlier version had some serious bugs in receiving SMS which prevented SMSTerm from working at all. I released SMSTerm 0.6 in a hurry during my exams so I couldnt test it thoroughly. Apologies to everyone who couldnt get it to work. This time everything is tested and tried, and it works.
-
- delay modified: the default delay time has been increased from 10s to 20s in SMSTerm. This is because ICQ was giving me RATE_LIMIT errors if i set it too low. Anyone who get a RATE_LIMIT can try bumping it somemore.

FSGuide 0.6
FSGuide is a web-based Norton Commander clone for advanced file management. more>>
FSGuide is a Norton Commander-clone for the web, which might be useful when you do not have shell access to your server, but want to perform various file operations. As a hosting provider, you can even give this tool to your hosting users, so they can access and modify their files through FSGuide - or you can use it yourself as a system administration tool.
Note: Due to the limitations of running scripts in server environment, you can reach only those files of the filesystem that are available to the web user (www-data or wwwrun used by Apache). In general, its much more than just the files and directories under document root!
Main features:
- user authentication (you can disable user authentication to use FSGuide without logging in)
- details of user access are configurable in a simple .ini file
- deeply customizable through its configuration file and the user.ini file, loads of peruser settings
- access control finetuning through access control lists in user ini file
- you can implement your own authentication module (eg. rdbms-based)
- two-panel display (supports sorting)
- directory bookmarks
- selecting files using checkboxes You can even "cross-copy" files between the two panels: after selecting files in both panels, just click the copy or move button - this way all the selected files are copied/moved to the other panel. If you click on the delete button, all the selected files in both panels are deleted.
- advanced file selection dialog (select files by regular expression, extension, extension group, permission, filesize, time)
- copying, moving, deleting files and directories even recursively
- renaming files or directories (only the first selected file)
- creating directories
- the file operations use no external commands (it helps multiplatform use)
- a one-line navigator on both panels. Clicking on parts of the navigator results in opening that subdirectory in the panel.
- downloading files (and optional bandwidth control mechanism)
- opening and displaying files:
- built-in detection for different filetypes (DOC, PDF, text, PHP, binary, etc.) by extension or contents
- displaying files depending on the result of the detection:
- files having .php and .inc extension are displayed using source highlight
- images files recognized by PHP are displayed as images: this helps a lot while organizing image files on a remote server (eg. if you use Windows).
- If there are no other special characters than #09 (tab), #10 (CR), #12 (page break), #13 (LF), the file is displayed as a simple textfile. The file is divided into 10000 characters long pages (you can use the "more" or "less" links to switch between pages)
- If there are other special characters in the file, or characters undefined in the ISO-8859-2 codepage, then the file is treated as a binary file. In this case the control characters, and ISO-8859-2s undefined characters (0x7f- 0x9f) are replaced with a dot (to avoid browsers displaying contents erroneously and to conform the HTML standard).
- file uploader:
- configurable number of files to upload at once
- you can configure any application to run after upload
- you can check to drop the original file when the application finishes
- file editor:
- plain text editor
- binary editor
- works under both Windows and Linux
- does not depend on third-party libraries or extensions and needs no RDBMS
- produces well-formatted, valid HTML 4.01 Transitional pages
- uses PHPs error messages to report errors of file operations (since the default messages contain all the important information about the errors). This will change in the future.
Enhancements:
- array_multisort bug fixed,
- added Spanish translation, thanks to Andres Barreto!
- advanced file compare dialog
- JavaScript confirmation before deleting files
- donations accepted through Kagi

wmget is a dock app for the Window Maker window manager which makes it more convenient to perform long downloads in the background. It uses the excellent libcurl library, part of the cURL automated-download program, to perform file retrieval.
This is useful if, like me, you tend to have dozens of windows open at a time and tend to do a lot of routine downloading. Just copy the link from your browser, middle-click on the wmget dockapp, and the download will start.
No download windows or terminals required, and you can monitor the progress and stop the transfer if desired without opening or raising any windows or even changing desktops.

JSBlend 0.6
JSBlend is a cross-platform, web-based file comparison and merge tool written mostly in Javascript. more>>
JSBlend is a cross-platform, web-based file comparison and merge tool written mostly in Javascript. The tool can display differences in two files and allow the user to selectively merge them by editing one of the files. JSBlend project relies on a Python or PHP backend to load the initial differences between the two files and to save them after merging.
The backend relies mostly on the GNU DiffUtils toolset which is available on Linux and Windows as open-source software. Specifically, the tool uses diff command to load the differences in a side-by-side format (-y option) initially. After this point, all the user edits are managed within the Javascript and no calls to the backend server is made except for saving the files.
While JSBlend is a general purpose diff/merge tool, it is especially suitable for managing conflicts in configuration files on servers after an update. Many server machines do not have any GUI framework installed and are often run in headless mode on remote sites. Using desktop-based GUI tools for merging the conflicts is not always possible. JSBlend can be a very useful tool when either used standalone or embedded inside an existing administration console.

adesklets 0.6.1
adesklets is an interactive Imlib2 console for the X Window system. more>>
adesklets is an interactive Imlib2 console for the X Window system. adesklets project provides to scripted languages a clean and simple way to write great looking, mildly interactive desktop integrated graphic applets (aka "desklets").
Since this is adesklets, others still have plenty of space to start similar projets, from bdesklets to z, excluding g, which is already taken.
Seriously though, all those packages are nice. Nevertheless, the first two have very heavy requirements in terms of library dependencies; basically, gDesklets requires a complete GNOME desktop to be installed (plus specialized libraries such as gnome-python, while SuperKaramba needs almost all of the KDE libraries and base environment.
This reflects on performance for the task at hand1. On the other hand, while GKrellM is significantly lighter (it still depends on GTK+ though), it does not deliver the same experience in terms of ?eye-candiness? (to the authors taste, of course) or ?scriptability? than the other two.
Thus, adesklets was born. It provides:
- a minimal framework for X Window desklets seamlessly integrated into the desktop, with an easy to use central management for starting, positioning and stopping them.
- a generic, rich and easy to use drawing API similar to gDesklets and SuperKaramba regarding its high visual quality, thanks to the Imlib2 library.
- very limited library dependencies: uses the very good (and lightning fast) Imlib2 library for all graphic-related operations. No window toolkit used whatsoever; the program relies directly on xlib.
- a light, robust and small interpreter potentially usable with all sorts of scripting languages thanks to a clean, limited and homogenous syntax. As on version 0.4.2, support for Python is provided out of the box. Future support for Perl and Ruby is planned. Feel free to contribute support for your favorite language!
- Minimal disk space, memory footprint and CPU usage. Typically, on glibc 2.3.4 Linux 2.6 x86, a unique executable is less than 130 KB on disk, takes less than 3 MB of virtual memory per desklet right after initialization, and almost no processor cycles (including cycles from a Python interpreted script) when idle.
Enhancements:
- This is a bugfix release.
- It compiles without warnings on all gcc 4.x releases while retaining compatibility with all previous versions of the compiler.
- A new test/timing.py framework was added to help diagnose potential timing issues.
