Some time ago I discovered, that some wallpapers on the web are mostly the same, but slightly differs — for example snowy or green landscape, sunshine or nightly.

Also, there are lots of Geocoding web-services to get sunset and sunrise time at your location. So why don’t use it and create such geo-cozy mashup for our desktop?

This howto is about making QT4 fonts look like default GTK fonts in Gnome. This example about Ubuntu GNU/Linux, but should work on all Gnome systems. Saying simple, some applications (like Skype, Last.fm and others) looks a bit different (mmm… say ugly) under Gnome. That usually happens because these apps are using QT, and QT doesn’t know about your Gnome font settings — both engines store their own settings, and “hinting” (method, that makes fonts look great) method is different. But, fixing is simple. Read the rest of this entry »
