Free xtra screen hacks software for linux

Xtra Screen Hacks is a collection of graphics display modes that are meant to be run with a daemon such as XScreenSaver.

"Daisy" draws spinning flowers, and "Twinkle" draws a twinkling star field.

Compilation of Xtra Screen Hacks depends only on xlib.

Installation:

The configure script is not up and running yet, so the Makefiles and config.h are hacked versions of the ones xscreensavers configure script generated on the authors machine. If your system differs from the authors (i686 Debian GNU/Linux) then the build will probably not work for you, unless you hack the Makefiles and possibly config.h to modify the variables and defines.

If the Makefiles and config.h are ok, then simply run

$ make

to generate the binaries. They will be in the hacks directory.
If you have a copy of XScreensaver installed from the tarball, run

$ make install

If not, you will need to copy the files to their target directories by hand. Search for deluxe, deluxe.xml, and deluxe.1 (or deluxe.man, deluxe.6x.gz, etc) using locate, find, or whereis to figure out where they should go. The binaries and xml files must be in the correct directories
to work properly with xscreensaver-demo.

You will need to add entries to your .xscreensaver file by hand. Open $HOME/.xscreensaver in your favorite text editor and paste the following two lines into the "programs" section:

--snip----------------
- daisy -root n
- twinkle -root n
--snip----------------

Then run xscreensaver-demo to activate and configure the hacks.

If you dont have XScreensaver at all, just enjoy the hacks in an X window.

If make install worked for you, type

$ make uninstall

when you no longer want the new screen hacks.

Show Screen Captures is an extension which enables displaying screen captures of external links on a web page.

Displays screen captures of external links on a web page. Screen shots provided by openthumbshots.org.

A screenshot, screen capture, or screen dump is an image taken by the computer to record the visible items on the monitor or another visual output device. Usually this is a digital image taken by the host operating system or software running on the computer device, but it can also be a capture made by a camera or a device intercepting the video output of the computer.

Screenshots, screen dumps, or screen captures can be used to demonstrate a program, a particular problem a user might be having or generally when computer output needs to be shown to others or archived.

OS X Login Screen is a very accurate OS X login Screen Mimic for Kubuntu Linux.

Amarok Full Screen provides a full screen front end for Amarok.

Google Hacks project is a compilation of carefully crafted Google searches that expose novel functionality from Googles search and map services.

For example, you can use it to view a timeline of your search results, view a map, search for music, search for books, and perform many other specific kinds of searches.

Emblems Hack is a simple hack to kdelibs-3.5.5 (and 3.5.6) that adds basic emblem support, like in GNOME. (It doesnt use the same format, though.)

There is currently no GUI to select emblems for files, so to set an emblem, run this command: attr -s emblem -V icon-name file

icon-name can be either a valid KDE icon name or an absolute path (e.g. /home/user/icon.png).

Currently, emblems are not drawn on thumbnail previews. Ill attempt to fix this in the next version.

screen-scraper project is a tool used to extract data from web sites. You might use screen-scraper for the following purposes:
- Data Mining and Extraction
- Data Migration
- Application Integration
- Business Intelligence
- Web Task Automation
- Portal Components
- Meta-Searching
- Archiving
The screen-scraper application consists of two primary pieces:
- Workbench: A graphical user interface provides an intuitive approach that allows you to designate pages and specific pieces of information to be extracted.
- Server: After using the workbench to designate the data to be scraped, screen-scraper can be run in a server mode, much like a database. External applications can then connect to screen-scraper, which will pull data off of the designated web sites, then return them to the calling application. For example, you might build a web-based application using Active Server Pages (ASP) or PHP that invokes screen-scraper to search for products found on an external web site in real-time.
Additionally, screen-scraper can be started in a non-graphical mode from the command line such that it can be scheduled or invoked on-demand.
screen-scraper can automate many of the tasks typically required when scraping data from web pages, such as tracking cookies, logging in to web sites, and traversing search results pages.
Depending on the programming languages and platforms you most prefer, screen-scraper is likely to be familiar to you. screen-scraper contains an internal scripting engine that supports:
- VBScript
- JScript
- Perl
- Interpreted Java
- JavaScript
- Python
When invoking screen-scraper externally take your pick from the following languages:
- Java
- PHP
- Anything COM-based (such as Active Server Pages, Visual Basic, and Visual C++)
- .NET (both Microsoft-based and Mono)
- Cold Fusion
Enhancements:
- Several bugfixes and minor features have been added, including automatic backup of the database, enhanced HTML rendering and HTML stripping, fixing an error that caused duplicate scripts to appear at times on import, and fixing multiple errors relating to international character sets and non-ASCII characters.

Gtk+ Hack is a graphical front-end for the roguelike game NetHack and its variants based on Gtk+ 2.x.

It supports playing on a local machine as well as connecting to a remote server over the internet.

Gtk+ Hack has its origins in the JNetHack project before being incorporated into SlashEM. I am in the process of unbundling Gtk+ Hack from SlashEM
