Améliorer les performances de GTG

Pour les fans de la technique GTD de David Allen, Getting Things GNOME! est une révélation, un logiciel qui rend «sans douleur» l’ajout et la gestion de tâches. Je considère les fonctionnalités suivantes comme étant celles qui démarquent GTG des autres applications: Read the rest of this entry »

300

Wow, it looks like I’ve been mentionned in the GNOME Bugzilla 2009 statistics ^_^; I’m slightly taken by surprise, as I did not know such reports were published each year.

Quelques agréables nouveautés de GNOME 2.28 et Ubuntu 9.10

Y’a un dossier de captures d’écran qui me supplie d’être publié depuis des semaines, alors voici un petit tour rapide d’améliorations «visibles» dans la nouvelle release d’Ubuntu. Le «comment installer Ubuntu 9.10 en version LPIA en souffrant atrocement» sera pour un autre billet (j’hésite à le faire en français ou en anglais). Ici, je me concentre sur des petits détails qui sont généralement peu mentionnés dans les release notes.

Themed canvas widget in PiTiVi

Brandon’s polish changes to the canvas widget (the area on which you place clips on the timeline) have been merged today. This means that it now integrates nicely with your GTK+ theme, be it Clearlooks:
