QMLSaver is a burning red digital clock screensaver that might check the naff and dated boxes but most certainly ticks the 'useful' one too.
Over the last few weeks we've shown you how to add Unity Quicklists to Banshee, the Unity Home Launcher and even web-browser Opera. Well folks - here are even more!
Developer Shnatsel stopped by the OMG! Inbox! to share word an icon-based project he’s been working on that aims to help LibreOffice better 'visually' fit the rest of the Ubuntu desktop.
Recently I had to make a choice as to whether I wanted to stay with Ubuntu Unity or move to GNOME 3 and hence another distribution. I chose to move to Fedora because my work requires it, luckily though this has given me a new perspective as I have been a long time Ubuntu user.
I'm here to kick off the first installment of Ubuntu Download of the Week where I will introduce you to a new hidden gem of an app or game each and every Monday that might just make your life a little bit more enjoyable, or at the very least, give you something to fiddle with each Monday while you're trying to find the will to actually get the work week started.
It'll feel like the future (albeit that lame, not quite awesome future as depicted in late 1980s hollywood films) but with one plugin you can use 'clapping' to control playback of media in Ubuntu's default media player Totem. "Far out!"

Mariano Chavero mailed us news of a small yet simple 'tweaking tool' he has created specifically for Ubuntu Unity 2D users that makes the few tweaking options available easier for users to access.
Light-weight Clipboard indicator applet Diodon has finally been made available for Ubuntu 10.04 users. Simple in purpose and running directly from the indicator-applet area, Diodon is able to 'capture' a wide variety of clipboard items including Pictures, files and URLs. It then lists them within the indicator-applet for easy access at a later date.
