A Few Useful Gnome Tweaks For You

If you’re tired of the default look of your Linux system, then you should consider taking a look at Gnome Tweaks. This is basically a set of configuration tools and codes which will allow you to change a number of aspects of the default look and feel of your operating system. Many people are surprised to find just how much they can customize their settings with these tools. The biggest feature of all is probably the new theme manager, which will allow you to easily select a new theme and revert back to an older one if you should change your mind.

There are other tweaks too, including lots of improvements to the privacy options and control panel. For instance, some tweaks will allow you to specify what sort of data you want to be shown on the Internet, as well as making it easier to browse sites using common browsers. The new privacy manager lets you select whether you wish to be allowed to see your own data online or only the information of particular types of people. You can also select whether you want to be able to receive email through certain servers or not. In short, you can now customize your system in order to better suit your personal needs.

There’s also the new Econo module, which makes it easier to create your own applications. With this, you’ll no longer have to rely on third party add-ons that may be either ineffective or even harmful. Instead, you can write your own code to create whatever application you need. The process is pretty simple and all that’s required is to install the right modules and your application will be created for you.

Another handy Gnome tweak is the built-in translators. Now, if you need to translate a text from English to Japanese or Chinese then you don’t have to do it by yourself because Gnome has included built in translators for this purpose. So, not only will you be able to translate documents but also make it easier for other people to read them as well.

Perhaps the most useful Gnome tweak is probably the new file manager. Previously, you had to jump from one folder to another just to find different files. Now, all you have to do is type in the path of the place you want to look up files in and hit the Enter key. What’s more is that if you decide you need to go elsewhere for the files, the system will automatically recall them for you don’t have to go searching for them again.

These are only a few tweaks that you can enjoy with the new release of Gnome 2.0. This operating system has really gone through a lot of changes to be as functional as it is today. With so many enhancements and under-the-rums additions, it has definitely become a very attractive tool to use for most users. What’s more is that it is available for free. There is no reason why you should not take advantage of this and try it out for yourself.
