Here I am again...

Yeah.. I know.. I know.. its been a looooooong time since I bored everyone. So here I am, doing what I am best at - boring people with the content on my blog!

So whats new in my life?? Quite a few things...

First gOS is getting a new look. It will be an OS to look forward to! So guys and gals, get ready to witness one of the most web-centric OS'!


I replaced my laptop with a new Desktop. Its big, bad and noisy! But then can't help it.. performance comes with a price!


FOSS India guys did mail me a questionnaire regading Mac4Lin and FOSS India Awards, which I dutifully answered. Expecting that to see in the next Issue :) BTW, this month DIGIT also gave away Mac4Lin on its DVD.



Oh yes, I finally got calls from UTD and NCSU. Some universities are yet to reply. So waiting for that before I take a decision.

What else? Hmmm.. I guess thats enough for this week! :D

Ani, it's a privilege to work with you :-) I think Mac4Lin, like Compiz-Fusion and even dare I say gOS, are all part of an effort to bring open source software to the world.

My iNav Remix - iPhone and iPod Touch UI

Image
My iTouch looked drab. It was screaming for a new UI, a new fresh face and so I got to work! Once a UI developer always a UI developer (no matter what platform :D). I took iNav and modded it to my liking - integrating widgets, editing the main menu, revamping the dock among numerous other things. I present you the iNav ANi Remix! Haf a look at the pics floating around this post. Kudos to the base iNav :) This UI has been customized for iPod Touch, however by placing the Phone and Text/SMS icons this interface can be converted to an iPhone UI. For those of you who dunno how to install it, I'm gonna quote the procedure. I'm too lazy to type :P Btw, before you proceed make sure you haf a jailbroken iPhone/iTouch for this (obviously!). If you are comfortable with SSH'ing into your device and uploading files then don't bother reading this tutorial! :D [Guide] iPhone/iPod Touch with 2.2.1 Firmware (Tested, might work with older firmware) Categories V2.23 (Tested, Might Work

Mac4Lin ver.1.0 Release Candidate

Image
Mac4Lin is back! This is the version 1.0 Release Candidate. Some components are still under development. Currently the shell script is not able to set the GDM theme, cursor theme, sounds, emerald theme. They need to be manually set. Also components like Firefox3, Thunderbird theme, awn theme/plugins etc. are still under development. The Mozilla themes may not be stable. Hence use the non-core components of Mac4Lin at your own risk. Documentation is still in the pipeline. I decided to release the RC anyway so that patrons can start using it and update to the stable version when development is complete. Whats new: Mac4Lin v1.0 RC - 9th September, 2008 New! Automated Installer in the form of a shell script New GDM theme Supports the newest version of GNOME and Xfce New Mozilla themes specifically built for Mac4Lin Adium style AWN status icons for Pidgin Mac style scrollbars, menus Other tweaks in GTK theme Adium sounds for Pidgin New usplash Keeping up the tradition I'm including the
