Spent most of last week playing around with software. For a while now I’ve been meaning to try gtk-chtheme which allows you to change gtk2 themes without calling the gnome control centre (center :) ) up each time. There was also the problem of it not applying fonts properly. This little app works very well and only needs a make and make install.
I hadn’t realised that Pixelmasochists “Phlat” theme for DR16 was available for download. It’s a great theme, grey enough to not get in the way while having little bits to keep the interest. It’s not eyecandy in the way 23oz Glass is but then I found that theme was a little too much after a while.
After some thought I decided to install Evidence which turns out to need a large number of libraries, none of them available as slackpacks. I guess I’ll get around to it when I get there.
Time to kick this thing off. I’ve never been a prolific writer and there hasn’t been much I wanted to comment on anyway, put that all together along with being busy at work and there you have it.
Monkiboi isn’t dead, it’s more “resting”. Most people in the skinning community go by a psuedonym and that’s how I started but recently I’ve found myself stifled by what I percieve the site to be and the whole “monkiboi dot net” thing. I had grand designs where I would host screenshots and review themes and… well, it all ended up taking longer than I thought it would. When I moved from blogworks to Nucleus I had intended to move the archives and static pages over to the new style and update the content. That obviously didn’t happen although we can blame some of that on my Eve addiction. Kim will be very happy when I finally grow tired of it.
So, we’re not going to be making any promises here. Things will appear when they are done and that’s that.
Although, now I think about it…
Well, we got this thing up and running. so far anyway. I’m not sure how things are going to work out but hell, I usually get away with making things up as I go along so lets see how things go.
Excuse the mess for a while as things get shifted, sorted, moved around and generally screwed up. Same as usual then.
