Twenty Third Party Gnome Apps you Can't Live Without

>> You can create your own page if you don't like Eugenias/Eugenia.

Very few people do, from what I can see

No she doesn't, Eugenia submitted the story and Christian posted this story which while it wasn't much more than a list of apps that Eugenia likes, I feel it was worthy to to post.

One of the things that is different with our new set-up, is while you see who submitted a story, you don't see who actually approved it and posted it.

The only flame bait visible so far is the one you posted, Mr. A.C. (I think A.G. doesn't fit well in your case). And who cares about what you "really care", anyway? If you don't like gnomefiles.org-related posts, just ignore them. I don't quite see the point in gratuitously insulting the author.

If you call that living... :-P

It's also over twenty plugs for programs which I didn't know - at least not all of them. And I think it's interesting; I sometimes used gedit for text files, but now I tried leafpad and it loads both itself and the plain text file within a second, while gedit takes 4-5 seconds to launch.

So by all means, try some of those lesser known programs.

I agree that some serious plugging of gnomefiles goes on at osnews, and sometimes it's a little gratuitous, but this is an artical I can definitely use. Not very much of it is new to me, but I'm sure there are a lot of people who benefitted a great deal.

Why not put feature requests in bugzilla ?

Eclipse uses Windows button order, and doesn't use stock buttons (thus no icons in buttons). Generally, it is a gtk+ app, not a gnome app. That is a little big difference.

Dude, you are an idiot. And that is my opinion.

How is posting text words about what they like to use as shameless?

Shameless is creating a link farm to a site that is nothing more than a "middle-man" to the real applications, just so you can increase your ranking in various search engines. :: cough ::

For that, Eugenia should be ashamed. For posting 20 apps people may or may not have known about, that's a good thing.

To shun somebody for posting their fav apps, on a thread dealing with apps people might want to know about--whether you are one of those people or not--is just plain hypocritical; whether you wrote the article or not.

Get off your high horse foo; put your damn soap box away; grab that huge stick out of your ass; leave people with different opinions alone already. So what if they are being asses about it. Dosn't mean you have to lower yourself to their level. You just make yourself look like an ass in the process.

You complain about everyone else's attitude, why don't you check yours first. Obviously, if Eugenia felt the need to be rescued she would've done it herself a long time ago, as I'm sure she's very well capable of doing it herself.

Oh, and if I misspelled anything, I don't care. Nor do I care if you pull the old, "I'm rubber, you're glue," BS. Because that's all this whole entire thread is; BS. 28+ comments, and very few have actually been constructive, including yours, foo.

i really hate applications that use their own widget set/skins like mplayer and xine, they just dont 'fit' right

im weird like that :(

Yeah, it destroys some uniformity, and those GUIs aren't always as obvious as they should be. But I think it's hard to fit a fully functional player (xine, mplayer, xmms) into quite big, bulky Gtk widgets with big, anti-aliased fonts - for this purpose, at least. So you end up with something that tries to simulate a real-life DVD player and a program that needs every pixel to lay out every function in one window.

But if I had to choose between a program with chaotic GUI but working functionality, and one that doesn't play most of the movies...

Yeah, sure, but as long as mplayer starts up in a second and plays virtually any multimedia format withouth my CPU-meter reaching 20%, it can use whatever skin/widgetset as it wants! :-)

You're not the only one. I feel the exact same way.
