Free 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

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]

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

WebFTP is ftp application for the web, allowing users to connect to a remote host and upload, delete, edit, and create files. WebFTP has a simple directory browser that allows users to view detailed file information. WebFTP is built on the PHP language.

This is the first release of WebFTP. To edit the layout of the system simply edit the files includes/header.php includes/footer.php and includes/style.css.
I have a long list of updates I plan to make to it but as of know it needs testing for bugs and needs some code tweaks. I appreciate any help I recieve and hope everyone finds this software usefull The software is plug and play. Simply upload and your ready to go.

XWork is a generic command pattern implementation and inversion of control (IoC) container. XWork is designed to be small, fast, and fit specifically for workflow-related usages, such as Web application frameworks and workflow engines. XWork provides the foundation for WebWork, a Java-based Web framework.
Main features:
- Interceptor-based framework, allowing for tons of extensions to be built
- Inversion of Control (IoC) framework
- Can be used as the basis for a web application framework all the way to a workflow engine
Enhancements:
- This release primarily involves a few internal tweaks and API convenience methods.
- It is backwards compatible with 1.0.3 and should have no impact when upgrading.

Wirble project is a set of enhancements for Irb. Wirble enables several items mentioned on the RubyGarden "Irb Tips and Tricks" page, including tab-completion, history, and a built-in ri command, as well as colorized results and a couple other goodies.

The idea, of course, is to fill Irb with useful features without turning your ~/.irbrc file into swiss cheese. Using Wirble is simple, too. Heres what a standard Wirble-enabled ~/.irbrc looks like:

# load libraries
require rubygems
require wirble

# start wirble (with color)
Wirble.init
Wirble.colorize

Dont like the defaults? Wirble is configurable. For documentation on enabling specific features or tweaking the color settings.
