PostX 0.4 news and two new backgrounds

I have been in a quite hurry with coding stuff to next PostX version. Things are advancing nicely and here is what is currently confirmed on the features part:

*Pulseaudio will be default.

*There will be a new calendar/clock application

*Sound keys should work for wired and bluetooth devices.

*There will be a new panel

*There will be a new terminal

*Outlook will get upgraded and a more integrated feeling

The approach by which I am coding the new panel,terminal and calendar/clock is that they will be lightweight and easy to use. Here is a screenshot of how things look now.

PostX 0.3. repository is Online with upgrades

PostX Gnu/Linux 0.3. series repository is Online now.

Note. During apt-get update you will get error saying something like:

Cannot fetch http://techtimejourney.net/postx-current/dists/audax/main/i18n/Translation-en; remote end closed connection.

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. The error is because there is no translation files on my repository and thus apt-get complains. The error is non-fatal and repository should work normally – so no worries.

Note. Users of PostX Gnu/Linux will only need to take steps 6 and 7 if they want to change to another slim-ntheme (slim nthemes are already installed) which should take about 3 minutes. Also, in PostX it is good enough if you just exit the desktop to apply changes. Continue reading →
