Power-Manager 3 (QT4) released and a new Youtube video available

The latest addition to my programming portfolio: Power-Manager 3 is now here. Power-Manager 3 is a re-designed version of the older Power-Manager, which was originally put together with Zenity and Bash.

Power-Manager 3 does the same things as its older ancestor. As always, the screenshot speaks for itself:

Power-Manager 3 with QT4

You will need python and python-qt4 in order to run this program. Remember to make it executable with chmod +x power.py

Run the program with python power.py

Remember to execute the above commands within a terminal client. You can also make a symbolic link – to achieve an easier startup.(For example, sudo ln -s power.py /usr/local/bin/power)

Download Power-manager from here: Power-Manager v.3.0.1

Old Versions: Power-Manager 3.zip

Enjoy and while I continue coding you can also go ahead and take a look at my latest Youtube video, which is about apt-get usage on Debian and its deriatives.

Added Note 4th of August:

The program uses sudo. If you use the traditional root account instead then replace the program code’s gksudo lines with gksu . Of course, make sure that you actually have gksudo or gksu installed on your system before using the program.

Calendar application (QT4) and a current time (Gtk) are here

Here are two applications I have recently made. The first one, PostX-Calendar is a QT application, which will certainly be featured in the future PostX Gnu/Linux 0.4 release coming in late 2016. The second one, is a basic time shower: “Current Time”, which does what is says and displays the current time.

Crosslinker FM

CROSSLINKER FM V.4 (Released 21st of June 2016)

Screenshot 1:Crosslinker FM license.

Here is the latest Crosslinker FM release. Version 4 brings new outlook, which now comes partly because CSS integration. There has also been many bug fixes and code cleanups. Version 3 was a development release, which never got released – so that is why Crosslinker skipped a number. Below, are the list of changes version 4 brings.

CSS integration and style added.
Layout is redesigned.
Open file button now uses xdg-open and opens file formats with system’s defaults.
- Supported file formats include: pdf, abw, odt, txt, png, jpg, ogg, mp3, mp4, avi, midi, xcf, mpg, mp2, flw, swf, m4v.

File menu dropped since it no longer needed.
Resizing issues are fixed.
Compress file to zip function fixed and working.
Button hinting made clearer on folder to zip button.
Crosslinker is now independent. It does not require Simple-mount or anything from my other projects.
Toggle view added. See screenshot 3. Note that toggle view assumes you are using sudo. If you use root instead change gksudo entries from #POWER MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS to gksu

Wall selector (GPL)

Here is a program I created some time ago. You will need to have zenity and feh installed in order to use it. The program also assumes that you start your system with startx or a dm like Slim, which uses .xinitrc file to startup desktop and programs alike.

Below you will see a list of screenshots, which will clarify how to use the program.

Copy the program to /usr/share and run it within a terminal using the command above. You can change the location path but then you also need to tweak some lines within the program (this is easily achieved).
