Free optimoz tweaks software for linux

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.

openSUSE KDE Tweaks are actually KDE 3.5.5 (openSUSE 10.2) patches and two RPM tools through which I have added, modified and removed some features.
I like and dislike the new kickoff menu at the same time, so I decided to change everything about it that I dont like.
Although my patches were meant to change only the new kickoff menu, I ended up changing other parts of KDE, and even writing two little apps. The results of my hacking are all here, so make good use of it.
The patch provides the following modifications:
bi-kicker:
- Changes the order of the kickoff tabs to a more logical order (in order of access frequency): Favorites, Applications, History, Leave
- Removes the IMHO useless Computer tab (can be replaced with a sysinfo icon in the Favorites tab)
- Corrects the order of Grub entries (to descending) in the "Start Operating System" submenu
- Removes the useless "Restart and boot directly into ..." comments from the Start OS submenu
- Changes the order of the Recently Used Apps to the same order as in the old menu and as in the Recent Documents list (new at top, older at bottom)
- Lower the number of days a New Application entry is kept (1 instead of 3)
- Adds an Uninstall context menu entry which calls the uninstall_rpm script with the *.desktop file as the first parameter
- Changes in the old KMenu the "Recently Used Applications" tag to just "Recently Used" and the "Most Used Applications" tag to "Most Used"
- Adds a rounded corner to the left side of the search mode
bi-kicker_noshadow:
- Everything included in bi-kicker
- Removes the shadow surrounding the menu. Useful for those who enable the nVidia composite mode (providing a cool shadow for all active windows) and would like to avoid a strange double shadow effect.
bi-kdesktop:
- Prevents the unwanted realignment of desktop icons when the Auto Align
bi-kcontrol:
- Removed the "Get New Wallpapers" button from the Desktop Configuration Dialog, because it provides unfiltered access to images that are more and more shameless
- Changes the icon of the Display option (different from the Screensaver option)
bi-krpmview:
- Adds a "Quick Install" button to the krpmview kpart which calls the install_rpm script with the *.rpm file as the first parameter
The RPM-Tools provide:
- Simple and quick solution to install an RPM + konqueror service menu
- Simple and quick solution to uninstall an RPM + konqueror service menu
- No dependency handling

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]

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.

MODx is an open source CMS that helps you take control of your website. MODx CMS project makes updates easy, empowering end-users with as much control as you desire over website content and update frequency.
This site demonstrates some of its capabilities: blogging tools, user comments, RSS feeds, dynamic menu generation when adding or removing pages, built in search, integrated forums and bug tracking software, strong security and private/protected web pages...
Techies call MODx a Content Management System (CMS for short). Its also a pretty schwanky Application Framework. A robust and flexible API and an event override system makes building engaging web projects - and changing core functionality without hacking its code! - a breeze.
Not only does MODx help you build sites fast, but it also hides its tremendous power unless its needed. As far as end users know, MODx is just an easy-to-use CMS with tons of freely available resources and one heck of an end user community.
Main features:
- Works in your favorite browser - and yes that means Safari! You can manage your websites from anywhere in the world with an internet connection and IE 5.5+, Safari 1.3+, Firefox 1.0+. Did you figure out your other favorite browser will work? Share it with our community.
- Installer Improvements - its now easier for less experienced users to get up and running fast.
- Improved Rich Text Editors - All MODx RTEs are optional plug-ins, making for a smaller base download. FCKeditor ships out of the box. Adding new RTEs to MODx is simple with TinyMCE available now as an optional download and Textile, Markdown and widgEditors on their way.
- Strong Web Standards Support - MODx does not force you into awkward and confusing blocks-this or channels-that templating engines or layout rules. You can build XHTML 1.1 Strict sites just as easily as a tag-soup laden table layout.
- Web 2.0 Features / AJAX - MODx is 100% buzzword compliant! Its the first free PHP-based CMS to offer an API that fully supports Web 2.0 AJAX technology thanks to script.aculous.com and our good friends at Sabre.

(coming soon...)
- Better handling of aliases and menu indexes - menu indexes at the same level auto-increment as documents are created, SEF aliases are automatically created from the page titles and the system will check for alias conflicts before saving a page.
- New "show in menu" flag - a new flag which can be set on a per-document basis. Handy for using in menu-building snippets to indicate whether or not you want a document to appear in a menu... no more unpublished folders to hide items from menu snippets.
- Improved Meta-tag and keywords controls - consider MODx your #1 free Search Engine Optimization CMS. MODx helps your SEO efforts by making it easier to adjust meta-content of your site on a per-page basis.

Thumbs is a Firefox extension that shows the first thumbnail from each linked gallery. After installing, use Customize Toolbars to add the Thumbs toolbar button, or select some links and right-click.

The Options window requires Firefox 1.5 Beta; it doesnt work in Firefox 1.0.x. Everything else should work, and you can still use about:config to tweak the options if want.
