Recent Firefox has the support for toggling the menu bar using the ‘Alt‘ key. But many times its annoying the me. There is a way to disable that in Firefox.
To disable it :
1) Type “about:config” in the url bar and enter
2) Search for “ui.key.menuAccessKeyFocuses” and set the value to “false”
That’s it!…
Evernote is an awesome app for note taking but unfortunately it isn’t available for Linux yet. So, we can use the Evernote web app as a standalone application using the GNOME web app launcher. Since the Evernote web app is pretty clean, you don’t feel a difference at all.
From Gnome 3.10 onwards, you can launch any web app without the usual browser menus. Two browser currently supports this:
Epiphany isn’t a shinny browser like Google Chrome and Firefox. It doesn’t render some pages correctly. And Firefox doesn’t support web app launchers yet. So, I recommend the Google Chrome for this job.
Chrome
1) Go to your Evernote home page (usually https://www.evernote.com/Home.action).
2) In Chrome, Click “Settings -> More tools -> Create application shortcuts…”.
3) It’ll create the necessary Desktop entry and Application Menu entry in the user’s home directory. Just click “Create“.
4) It’ll use the web app’s favicon as the Application Icon which has low resolution and not good.
5) So, to change the application icon, download the evernote icon from the internet (https://cdn4.iconfinder.com/data/icons/free-colorful-icons/360/evernote.png).
6) Go to user’s application settings directory :
cd ~/.local/share/applications/
7) Find the .desktop file which starts with “chrome” as prefix and “evernote” in the file name like “chrome-https___www.evernote.com_Home.action_2.desktop“.
8) Replace the “Icon=” entry’s value with the newly downloaded icon’s path.
9) Just logout and login.
10) Search for Evernote in your GNOME Activities, you’ll get a fancy Evernote app in your menu.
Note : I’m using Fedora 21 with GNOME 3.14.2 on it.
Run the following command :
sudo sed -i “/title_vertical_pad/s/value=\”[0-9]\{1,2\}\”/value=\”0\”/g” /usr/share/themes/Adwaita/metacity-1/metacity-theme-3.xml
and then press
‘Alt + F2‘ which will open an run window and then type
‘r‘ and press enter.
It’ll restart the gnome shell. You’ll notice the resized title bar immediately.
