» Epiphany packages for Ubuntu Edgy

Yes, there are packages for Epiphany in Edgy, but this packages include some patches from Bugzilla.
Right now only 3:

1. Keyword search (this fixes bug #350053).
2. Favicon for bookmarks in completion dropdown in location entry (bug #112748).
3. Titles for history items in completion dropdown in location entry (bug #169550).
4. Avoid huge tab tooltips (bug #324052).

By the way. If you want to tell apt that I’m a good guy and want to add my GPG key to apt-key, then you can grab this file and do: $ sudo apt-key add diego_escalante.asc.

I made this for personal use, I’m just sharing them so have that in mind.

Download them:

» Metacity 2.17 buttons!

The crazy guy for this week is marnanel.

He kindly took the time to add 3 new buttons to Metacity themes (shade, sticky, above) and some other features that I really won’t use for now.
You need metacity 2.17.0 to see the new hotness, since I’m also kind I have made packages for this (compatible with Edgy since it’s based on Edgy’s metacity package). Download my packages.
Just run dpkg -i *.deb over them.
Tell me if they don’t work right.

After installing you have to enable the new buttons in GConf, as seen beneath:

Gconf edition

A little explanation: The “:” divide the left buttons from the right buttons, the string in the screenshot will produce a window like the one on the screenshot. Also you need a theme that support these buttons, right now only Bright and Crux do.

As a funny fact, I still don’t use my new buttons. I don’t even use the old ones, on a next post I will describe my metacity keybindings, no matter no one cares.
