Google Redesigned

Google Redesigned is a Firefox extension that aims to fully redesign the look and feel of popular Google services.

The extension simplifies the use of these styles by providing auto-updates, easy management and notifications of changes.

DVD Authoring

Q-DVDAuthor is a GUI frontend for dvdauthor and other related tools.
The goal is to provide an easy-to-use, yet powerful and complete interface to generate DVD menus, slideshows, and videos to burn on a DVD.

Installation on Ubuntu

You can install it from the Application menu. But I recommend to install it from the command line, so some optional tools used will be installed as well.

sudo apt-get install qdvdauthor transcode toolame dvdrtools

GUI for the alternativates system

Galternatives is a GUI to help the system administrator to choose what program should provide a given service.

It updates the /etc/alternatives links, which defines default applications for the traditional Unix/Linux system, for example which java virtual machine should be used in case there are several versions installed on the system, which webbrowser will be launched etc.



Basically, it is a graphical front-end to the update-alternatives command-line tool.

Install on Ubuntu

sudo aptitude install galternatives
