Docky Launcher Themes

I have tried several dock launchers and I keep coming back to Docky. It works well and has a large library of themes. Below is an article and links where you can dress up and customize your Docky launcher.

Top 10 Docky Themes
After installing Ubuntu 10.10 I installed avant window navigator dock the development version but i had many problems with it, multiple crashes for many applets, and some time slowing down the machine. But AWN still my favorite one any way i installed Go docky lately on Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick and it’s totally awesome. a really great dock has many great features similar to avant window navigator dock “AWN”. Support adding multiple docks on desktop, docklets similar to applets for AWN, and helpers for many applications if installed in your machine to easily control some applications through the dock directly.

Now back to Audacious. The latest Audacious, which, in case you're not familiar with, is a fast, lightweight audio players, ships with various Qt interface improvements, including plugins which have been ported to Qt, such as the Winamp Classic Interface, the Playlist Manager, Search Tool and Status icon, and more.

GTK2 Interface

Qt interface

Winamp Classic interface

Here's a list of the most important changes in Audacious 3.7:
  • GTK interface only:
    • Internet streams can be recorded while playing via a simple record button;
    • the playlist export window displays supported formats in a drop-down list;
    • a new, unified window has been added for managing equalizer presets;
    • the user interface automatically adjusts to be more usable on high-resolution screens;

    • various small fixes and improvements, such as a visualizer in the info bar, to bring the interface closer to feature-parity with the GTK+ interface;
  • an "Edit Lyrics" option has been added to the LyricWiki plugin, which opens the edit page for the current song;
  • guessing of missing tag fields can be disabled;
  • decoding and playback of standard input is possible with e.g. "cat file.mp3 | audacious -";
  • in dual GTK and Qt builds, incompatible plugins are hidden to avoid confusion;
  • most audtool commands now apply to the playlist which is playing, even if it is in the background;
  • bug fixes.

A complete changelog can be found HERE.


Install Audacious 3.7 in Ubuntu or Linux Mint


As usual, the latest Audacious is available in the main WebUpd8 PPA. The PPA provide Audacious build with GTK2 and Qt interfaces (I can't also enable the GTK3 interface because it requires separate builds).

To install Audacious 3.7 in Ubuntu 14.04, 15.04 or 15.10 / Linux Mint 17.x and derivatives, use the following commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install audacious

Once installed, select Audacious from the Dash / menu to launch the GTK2 interface or "Audacious Qt Interface" for the Qt interface.

3 Fresh & Lightweight Music Players For Enjoying Your MP3s on Linux

Nearly every article about music players for Linux starts with an observation that there are “so many” of them. And it’s true – if you’re a Linux user, you’ve probably noticed they come in all shapes and sizes, from iTunes alternatives and feature-packed media organizers to simple, lightweight music apps.
Speaking of lightweight, have you heard of Pragha? What about Yarock? Does Qomp sound familiar? Those three names refer to three (relatively) new music players for Linux. We know it can be hard to choose a single app from a myriad of options, so here we’ll help you decide whether any of these apps is worth your time.

Theory: What Is a Lightweight Music Player?

Before we examine the features of our new apps, let us make sure we’re on the same page when it comes to defining a lightweight music player. Fellow MakeUseOf writer Joel provided a sensible explanation in his round-up of music players two years ago:
Let me first define what I mean by lightweight: good performance even on older systems, does not suck up loads of CPU while running, and requires no more than 75 MB of RAM.
I would also include the total installed size of the app on your hard drive, but other than that, this definition is excellent. Many other attempts at defining a lightweight app fall into the trap of being too specific as they reflect personal preferences of their authors. In the case of our definition, all the factors are easily measurable on any system. You can check the CPU load, monitor RAM usage and see how well the app performs, without having someone else try to convince you that the app is “really light” on system resources.
lightweight-players-linux-system-monitor


Conflating the terms is another common mistake. “Lightweight” doesn’t have to mean “minimalistic” or “bare-bones”. Music apps that don’t do much more than just play music do have their userbase. However, when an average user searches for a lightweight music player, they’re usually looking for an app that works smoothly yet doesn’t give up on features. If you want the best of both worlds (performance and functionality), music players with a modular approach offer an ideal solution. They rely on plugins for the majority of their features, which means you can turn off anything you don’t need and make the app lighter.


lightweight-players-linux-pragha-plugins


You might wonder why would anyone want a lightweight music player in the first place, since computers these days have all the power you need and then some. Several scenarios are possible; first off, not everyone can afford a high-end computer or an upgrade for their current setup. It’s also a common practice to revive an old computer with Linux, in which case you’ll need all the lightweight apps you can get. Whatever your situation might be, if you’re determined to use such an app, here’s some advice on how to find the right one.

Methodology: How to Choose a Lightweight Music Player?

When we set out to find new software, we often decide which app to install without any special preparations. However, it might be useful to keep a list of desired features that you can quickly consult when comparing and trying out new apps. Use your favorite note-taking app or just a piece of paper and organize your priorities.
What features are essential to you? Which ones can you do without? Establish your own criteria and then simply eliminate the apps that don’t satisfy them. Here are some categorized suggestions on what you should consider.
Pre-Installation Concerns
  • Is the app available in a repository, or do you have to compile it yourself?
  • How many dependencies does it have?
  • Is it based on the default widget toolkit (Qt or GTK) of your DE, or does it require a lot of packages from another DE?
Performance
  • Is the app light on system resources?
  • How much RAM does it use while idle, and how much when it’s playing music? What about CPU usage?
  • Where and how does the app store information about your music library?
  • How quickly does it load and scan your music library?
Basic Features
  • Which file formats does the app support?
  • Can it import playlists from other music players?
  • Does it support smart/dynamic playlists?
  • Can you search for music and sort the results?
  • Does the app offer shuffle, randomize, and repeat options in playback mode?
Extras
  • Does the app support online services like Last.fm, SoundCloud, and Spotify?
  • Does it have an equalizer?
  • What about ReplayGain and gapless playback?
  • Does it let you listen to Internet radio stations and podcasts?
  • Can the app perform audio conversion, MP3 tagging, or CD ripping?
Interface and User Experience
  • Can the app display album art, song lyrics, and artist info?
  • Is the interface easy to configure and customize?
  • Does it support skins? Can you switch between standard and mini player modes?
  • What about navigation – is it intuitive, traditional, or unconventional?
  • Does the app feel responsive and snappy?
Of course, the most reliable way to get the answers to all these questions is to install the app and try it out yourself. Still, you might not have the time or a particular desire to test every music app that’s out there, which is understandable.
In that case, turn to online sources. Get recommendations from other users and read their experiences. Visit the official websites of different music players and compare their features to the ones on your wishlist. Last but not least, read reviews: if they’re detailed enough, they’ll spare you the trouble, and you’ll grasp the general look & feel of the app from the screenshots.
As an exercise, pick the best app based on the following descriptions of three lightweight music players for Linux.

Practice: Pragha vs Qomp vs Yarock

 

 

Pragha

A descendant of a discontinued music player called Consonance, Pragha looks fairly simple, but offers plenty of features. The interface is traditional, reminiscent of a file manager, with panels which you can toggle and move around to create different layouts.



lightweight-players-linux-pragha



Pragha can manage your music library, and you don’t have to keep all your music in one folder because it lets you add multiple folders as library sources. It can import M3U, XSPF, PLS and WAX playlists which you can edit, save, search, and crop. There’s an equalizer and a tag editor, as well as statistics about your music library. Pragha can fetch lyrics and artist info, display album art, and manage music on removable devices. You can also define custom keyboard shortcuts and activate Last.fm scrobbling.
Pragha is the only GTK-based app of the three, and most of its functionality is provided by plugins which you can disable at will. This makes it a great choice for users who want a lightweight player with a familiar interface and a personalized set of features.


Qomp

Qomp stands for Quick Online Music Player. Although still in beta, it already looks promising and works stable enough for everyday use. Sadly, the interface is not visually attractive, and it relies on icons instead of menus, so it might not be immediately clear what the options are.



lightweight-players-linux-qomp

 

Still, the basic set of features is present: you can save playlists, create custom keyboard shortcuts, scrobble to Last.fm, and stream music directly from an URL. Like Pragha, Qomp also draws its power from plugins, though the selection here is slightly less impressive. Qomp should be able to stream music from three Russian services, but this doesn’t always work as advertised.



lightweight-players-linux-qomp-plugins



Qomp could be a good choice for undemanding users who don’t want to go beyond the basics. They’ll get a fast and simple Qt music player that delivers the tunes in a retro package.


Yarock

Yarock is the most modern-looking music player among the apps we’re comparing. It has a bright, spacious interface that you can customize by changing the accent color. There are several different layouts and sorting options for your playlists and music library, and Yarock is clearly focused on album art and other visual goodies.



lightweight-players-linux-yarock-coverview



Navigation, however, is not as crystal-clear. There are icons on the left that lead you to Context (info on what’s currently playing), Dashboard (shows stats about your library and provides quick access to top rated, most played, and favorited music), and File Browser (from which you can access music anywhere on your system). Yarock takes some time to get used to, but if you’ve tried Tomahawk or Atraci, you should be familiar with the look and feel of this “new generation” of music players.



lightweight-players-linux-yarock-settings



Yarock lets you tweak quite a lot of its settings, and some of the features worth mentioning include an equalizer, gapless playback, ReplayGain, custom lyric sources, Last.fm scrobbling, adding your own radio streams or connecting to TuneIn, Shoutcast and Dirble, downloading missing album art, creating smart playlists, and building a music library from multiple folder sources.
This interesting Qt-based player will appeal to users who like the features that Pragha has, but dislike its conventional interface. Yarock has enough power to manage large music collections, and looks good enough that you’ll want to keep it maximized on your Linux desktop.



Now it’s your turn: which music player do you like the most—Pragha, Yarock, or Qomp? Would you consider using any of them? Can you think of some other tips for choosing a music player that we should have included here? Tell us about your favorite lightweight music apps in the comments, and let’s have a fun discussion!

5 Tweaks You Can Use to Speed Up Ubuntu Today

You’ve installed Ubuntu on your PC. Perhaps you’re a long-term Linux user, or you’ve just swapped from Windows. Either way, you’ve noticed that things could be faster.
Don’t worry – here are five ways you can tweak Ubuntu to speed things up!

Show Hidden Startup Applications

Software that is configured to run at system startup can slow things down incredibly, whether you’re using Linux, Windows or OS X. Or even Android.
Ubuntu users can fix slow startups by opening the Startup Applications screen, but on first glance you’ll notice that things are a little sparse. To prevent mistakes, the majority of startup applications are hidden, but you can tweak this by opening the Terminal and entering:
sudo sed -i 's/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g­' /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop
You should then see a refreshed list of startup apps. Take care with apps you reconfigure here, however, as changing some items can result in system stability issues.
muo-linux-ubuntu-speed-startup
The best thing to do is stay away from system items or anything that was preinstalled, and only adjust those that you have installed and don’t want to slow down your system startup. We previously looked at Startup Applications when Danny gave you four ways to speed up Linux — worth a read for some additional ideas.

Fix Bugs That Slow You Down

This might seem both vague and obvious, but if you stay up to date with conversations online about the latest releases, you’ll be able to spot problems that other users are having. If these chime with issues you’ve also experienced, you’ll be able to take action.
For instance, the File Browser Panel can slow things down, so it is worth toggling its status to see if disabling will improve performance.
muo-linux-ubuntu-speed-gedit-plugins
Do this by opening gedit, then open Edit > Preferences and switch to the Plugins tab. Here, you should scroll through to find File Browser Panel and uncheck it, clicking Close to finish.

Install Adaptive Readahead (Preload) Daemon

Another great way to speed things up is to teach Ubuntu what you use often, so that the operating system loads apps in advance. You can do this using the Adaptive Readahead Daemon, which will identify the apps you use the most.
muo-linux-ubuntu-speed-readahead
Just open the Software Manager (one of several ways of finding new apps on Linux), search for “preload” and install the app.
One obvious beneficiary of preloading will be your browser. If you’re not convinced by how much of a change preloading will make, check how long it takes to open the browser after booting your PC, then install the daemon, and load the browser again. It should open 50-75% quicker.
(Note that this tool may not work in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.)

Change Swappiness Value

Huh?!
Okay, if you installed Ubuntu with a swap partition, this is intended to help your system manage memory, which is especially useful if your PC doesn’t have much RAM installed.
The swappiness value determines how much data is written to the virtual memory on the hard disk drive, which can slow your system down. Begin by opening a Terminal and entering:
cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
The default swappiness value in Ubuntu is 60.
Next, open the /etc/sysctl.conf file in a text editor:
gedit /etc/sysctl.conf
Scroll to the bottom and add the following parameter (and the associated note as a reminder):
# Decrease swappiness value
vm.swappiness=10
With this done, save the file. Unusually for Linux, you’ll also need to restart the computer. Once booted up again, confirm the swappiness value has changed. Less data will now be written to the virtual drive, but keep in mind that this is a tweak that is really only intended for older computers.

Upgrade Your Hardware

As with Windows, adding hardware to your Linux computer will improve performance.
laptop-ram
This might mean swapping your HDD for a newer model (or for a solid state drive) or adding RAM to your system. On a modern system, additional RAM will usually have a great impact than a new CPU, and is usually cheaper than a new HDD, so explore this option first. When it comes to a HDD, it’s worth considering an SSD as a faster replacement.
While a new CPU can also have a strong impact, also consider upgrading your graphics card, ensuring you select a replacement that will run happily under Linux.
Of course, if you’re using a laptop, all of the above (including RAM, increasingly) will remain out of reach, leaving upgrades therefore unavailable.

How to get the latest version of Flash on Firefox for Linux after Adobe's abandonment

Adobe abandoned Firefox for Linux users years ago, but new compatibility layer software can help you ditch your outdated Flash version for the latest code.


Mozilla will stop supporting most browser plugins in Firefox by the end of 2016 . But for Linux users, that won’t make a major difference for one of the biggest plugins in the browser world—Adobe Flash.
You may not know it, but Adobe axed most support for Flash in Firefox on Linux back in 2012. Fear not, though: An open-source wrapper allows Firefox to use the fresh Flash code that Adobe’s still pumping out for other browsers.
Want to stay up to date on Linux, BSD, Chrome OS, and the rest of the World Beyond Windows? Bookmark the World Beyond Windows column page or follow our RSS feed.

Adobe thinks you should use Chrome on Linux

Mozilla has announced plans to stop supporting most NPAPI plugins in Firefox by the end of 2016. But they’re still going to support Flash, because it’s still—sadly—a big part of the web.
That said, if you’re using Firefox on Linux, your Flash player is alreadyyears out-of-date. Adobe stopped supporting the NPAPI version of Flash on Linux back in 2012, and now only updates it with security fixes—and even those will end on May 4, 2017, five years from the release date of the last supported version released. Adobe points Linux users at that Pepper (PPAPI) version of Flash, which is included with Chrome and can be installed in Chromium and Opera.
outdated flash 11 from repositories
The outdated Flash 11 available in official repositories.
But Mozilla doesn’t want to support Pepper. It would rather try to push new web standards instead of creating new frameworks for old-style plugins. This leaves Firefox users on Linux with Flash 11.2 while other platforms—including Chrome and Chromium—are already up to Flash 19. Want the latest version of Flash on Linux? Switch to Chrome, Chromium, or Opera. That’s the Adobe party line.
Really, we should be happy this is even an option, as Adobe hasn’t had much love towards Linux in general. That PPAPI-on-Linux code is used when the Flash player runs on Google Linux-based Chrome OS, however, so Adobe can’t afford to snub Chrome on Linux.

Fresh Player Plugin to the rescue

If you want the latest version of Flash in Firefox, the Linux community has come to the rescue. Fresh Player Plugin is an open-source PPAPI-to-NPAPI compatibility layer. Basically, it’s a way to use the up-to-date Pepper version of Flash for Linux in Firefox on Linux. It can even use hardware-accelerated decoding of videos on the latest Linux distributions, including Ubuntu 14.10 and 15.04.
Fresh Player Plugin has now been in development for more than a year, and it should be fairly stable for most people. It doesn’t implement any sandboxing, however, meaning that all those Pepper sandboxing security benefits aren’t available to Firefox users, so beware. It’s still safest to run the latest version of Flash in a Chromium-based browser like Chrome, Chromium itself, or Opera.
flash 19 in firefox on linux web page

You can choose to compile Fresh Player Plugin from source with the freely available code, but the folks over at WebUpd8, an Ubuntu-focused blog, provide it in a PPA so you can easily install it on Ubuntu. It’s easy to do—just open a terminal and run the following commands in order:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install freshplayerplugin
You now have the compatibility layer installed. All you have to do is install Google Chrome and launch it—it will download the latest version of the Pepper plugin. When you launch Firefox, Firefox will automatically load Fresh Player Plugin, and it’ll check the directory Chrome stores its plugins in and automatically load it. You now have the latest version of Flash in Firefox on Linux.
flash 19 in firefox on linux

Just uninstall the freshplayerplugin package from any software management tool if you decide you’d rather not use it.
If Adobe does end security updates for the NPAPI version of Flash on Linux in May 4, 2017 without proving a path forward for Linux users, Fresh Player Plugin will become the only way to use a patched version of Flash in FIrefox on Linux at all. It’s good this software is being developed, as it may become very important soon. Hopefully most of us can just dump Flash by then.

Zukimac Is a Flawless Mac Theme for Ubuntu

mukimac


If you’re hunting out a decent Mac theme for your Ubuntu desktop you need look no further than Zukimac — an OS X-inspired GTK3 theme that is uncanny in its appearance.

‘If Apple made a GTK3 theme it would look like this’
(tweet this)
Unlike other attempts at aping the appearance of Cupertino’s finest OS, this one actually looks and feels like it was made for Linux and not the half-hearted mish-mash of OS X assets laid over basic theming that other themes of this ilk tend to resemble. If Apple made a GTK3 theme chances are it would look like Zukimac.
From pixel-perfect handling of Nautilus to suitably styled maximised Unity controls – the developer of Zukimac has clearly put a lot of thought and attention into fashioning their theme to work as well as it can.

Why Do This?

Whenever we cover a theme that apes the appearance of another operating system the question of why you might want to do it will arise. Motivation is subjective, as is taste, so the short answer is: “Don’t like it? Don’t use it!”
There’s nothing ‘traitorous’ or ‘anti-Linux’ in mimicking the design of another platform. Most Linux desktop environments are versatile enough to allow extensive theming. Blatant imitations like Zukimac as well as those that simply take a few cues from elsewhere, all take advantage of this opportunity. Other operating systems require tinkering with inner parts of the system to achieve what those of us on Linux can do in just a couple of clicks.
And as knee-jerk as some may find it, the designs of Windows, OS X, iOS or Android do have fans and do have years of expertise and reasoning behind them.


Screen Shot 2014-06-08 at 20.33.29
Nautlius under Zukimac GTK Theme

Pairing accurately styled ‘traffic light’ window controls and the faux metal sheen in app headers, the theme also features a nice blue highlight, stark white menus and does a standout job of handling Nautilus — a key app many themes fail to pay attention to.
Unity integration is also fully supported. Integrated and app menus work fine, and on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS launcher items are displayed without the rounded bounding box (see top screen). Depending on your favoured icon theme the latter tweak can look particularly slick.

Zukimac for Linux

Zukimac is a free download available from GNOME-Look and provides support for both GTK 3.10 and GTK 3.12. It does not include an icon theme or any assets copyrighted to Apple.
