CD Art Display is a very cool application and I believe the guys who love to pimp their desktop would already have enough know-how about this nifty application. It is actually a light weight software which lets you control your music. What makes it quite a winner is that it is fully customizable and there are free skins available for download. It displays the current playing song in a pretty manner.
This is the desktop I have created in my last half an hour of screwing up with Rainmeter, Rocketdock, Windows XP visual style and icons along with some more customizations of varied degrees. I recommend you to click on the image to get a higher resolution image of the same.
It would be nice to initiate with a short description of a favicon for the uninitiated. Favicons are the small 16×16 pixels images you see next to address bar of most browsers including Firefox. Having a favicon is definitely not a compulsion but it just gives your blog a more professional look.
Making a favicon is easy and it basically involves making an image or downsizing an image to 16 pixels in measurement. You can use some image manipulation tool like Photoshop, GIMP or even Irfanview to make the tiny favicons while there are many web services as well which can easily create a favicon in no time.
Following are some of the web services which can help you make favicon for your website/blog.
Mozilla has just released an update of its very potential firefox-addon called Ubiquity. I have praised Ubiquity in many of my earlier posts and it is the first add-on I recommend to anyone who uses Firefox. I am taking the risk of being tagged as Ubiquity freak because I have endorsed it like hell in spite of the fact that I have never been paid a single penny by Ubiquity folks. The Ubiquity 0.1.3 comes with many improvements which makes it lot more tempting.
There are like hundreds of tutorials on installing Ubuntu but most of them tend not to provide the screenshots thereby leaving you confused while installing Ubuntu. Here’s a dead simple guide to install Ubuntu. I have done the fresh copy install on a blank hard-disk which does not have an installed version of Windows operating system.
First of all you need an Ubuntu CD from where you can install Ubuntu. You can have a Ubuntu CD by either downloading the setup or installer directly from the Ubuntu site or by requesting a free CD or DVD from Canonical which will deliver you Ubuntu, Edubuntu or Kubuntu CD along with some Ubuntu stickers. I would advise you to request a free CD if you don’t have a broadband connection because the Ubuntu setup is around 700 MB. Do keep in mind that it takes around 2 months with a week or two here and there depending on your location in receiving free Ubuntu CD. Mine took two and a half months though.
Now considering that you are downloading the setup from web, you’ll get an ISO file of around 700 MB after the download. This ISO file is now needed to be burn on a CD which we will use to install Ubuntu. Some of the softwares you can use to burn the downloaded ISO file are Magic ISO, Ultra ISO and ISO Recorder.
Assiuming that you have done the burning stuff and are ready with Ubuntu installation CD, we can now care about the real process of installing Ubuntu. Following is the step by step screenshot tour on installing Ubuntu.
First of all, you get the following instructions when you boot from your CD.
This is yet another social media icon set which is making rounds in the blogging circle. The Nurture social media icons are unique to say the least and provide a fresh feel to the web page. The icons have been made by David Leggett of Tutorial9. There are 10 social icons of popular web services in the Nurture set.
Making money on web is not easy and we can’t even rule out the possibility that everything will get online because that’s the future. Websites like Amazon were quick to see the need and potential in selling online. It is pure conventional wisdom that men would rather move their fingers and not their legs to buy stuff. More and more websites want to replicate the success of amazon or ebay and one aspect that oftens make or break the first impression is the design of the website. The design of a website in ways more than one tells about the quality. It is thus essential that websites have a clear interface which assist and not confuse the buyer. Following are some of the e-commerce websites which have impressive designs and elements worth emulating.
You must have fancied using Linux if you really know what it is at least once in your life. If you have used Linux then you might not need what I am going to write here. Today, I will be writing a short tutorial on installing Ubuntu on Windows XP or Vista using Virtualbox.
Virtualbox is a virtualization software which lets you install any operating system on an existing host operating system. In our case, we are going to install Ubuntu on Windows XP.
First of you need to download the free Virtualbox software from the official site of Virtualbox.
The setup file size is around 35MB which shouldn’t take a long time to download if you have broadband connection.
You will get lot of options about which version of the Virtualbox you should install. If you are using a 32 bit Operating System Windows XP then you should install the version -x86. You can however use the other versions as per the need and system requirements. Since I am using Windows XP so I’ll stick to the the x86 version.
Merry Christmas to all from the JustSkins.com team. A Big Thank You! from us, we appreciate your support.
