Libcompizconfig is an alternative configuration system for
compiz and provides the following features:
- Automatic plugin list generation.
- Import/Export of the current configuration.
- Configuration profiles.
- Parsing of Compiz metadata files to provide an easy to use API for
configuration managers.
- Conflict handling for plugins and actions.
- Support for different configuration storage backends.
- Desktop environment integration. If a backend provides desktop
environment integration, then Compiz will share the keybindings
and settings with the default desktop environment window
manager like metacity or kwin.
- Its own Compiz configuration plugin "ccp" to provide all features
of libcompizconfig with compiz.
This utility will view several types of images under X11, or load
images onto the root window. The current version supports:
Native Image File Format (NIFF), Sun Rasterfile, GIF Image,
JFIF-style JPEG Image, Portabel Network Graphics (PNG), TIFF image,
FBM Image, CMU WM Raster, Portable Bit Map (PBM, PGM, PPM), Faces
Project, Utah RLE Image, X Window Dump, Sun Visualization File
Format, McIDAS areafile, VICAR Image, PC Paintbrush Image, GEM Bit
Image, MacPaint Image, X Pixmap, X Bitmap.
A variety of options are available to modify images prior to viewing.
These options include clipping, dithering, depth reduction, zoom,
brightening or darkening, and image merging.
Xscreensaver will run several programs to continuously update the
screen instead of going blank. You can specify the programs and their
arguments using resources. You can also add dpms (power saver) options.
Xscreensaver will make use of any installed OpenGL libraries, such as
Mesa (also in the ports collection).
The client-server model employed by xscreensaver make it a superior choice
to xlock, since no separate auto-locking program is needed. It's also
extremely easy to add new programs like xearth, or any other program that
can fill the root window as additional screensavers.

The xcb-util module provides a number of libraries which sit on top of
libxcb, the core X protocol library, and some of the extension
libraries. These experimental libraries provide convenience functions
and interfaces which make the raw X protocol more usable. Some of the
libraries also provide client-side code which is not strictly part of
the X protocol but which have traditionally been provided by Xlib.
These libraries are currently included, roughly ordered by maturity:
aux: Convenient access to connection setup and some core requests.
atom: Standard core X atom constants and atom caching.
property: Callback X property-change handling.
event: Callback X event handling.
Fbpanel is a lightweight, NETWM compliant X11 desktop panel. It works with
any NETWM compliant window manager (xfwm4, sawfish, openbox, metacity, etc.)
It currently provides and features:
- Taskbar, launchbar, and pager
- Show desktop button (iconify or shade all windows)
- Image viewer and volume control
- Text and digital clock
- System tray (notification area)
- Menu with support for freedesktop.org application menu
- CPU, network, memory, and battery monitors
- General monitor (to display output of configured command)
- Ability to replace windows' icons
- Transparency support
- Customizable size and screen position
- Ability to run many instances each with its own configuration
- Modest resource usage

environment for the gpc generic polygon clipper library.

HA is an archiver which I released in January 1993 as version 0.98.
After that I had plans to improve speed, archive handling etc. which
would have required total rewrite of the code. For that I unfortunately
could not find time. Because there has been quite considerably interest
for internals of HA (especially for the HSC compression method) I
decided to make a source level release from my current test version
(0.999 beta) and place it under GNU General Public License. The sources
for this version are not very consistent or clean, but everything should
work.
There are several improvements which should be made before this could be
called version 1.0. Some of the most obvious of these are:
- Compression methods should be coded in assembler for PC and using more
efficient data structures for 32 bit platforms. Current version does
some things only to overcome 64kB segments of 8086.
- UNIX port has still some problems and is missing some things (for example
a grouping operator in wildcard matches).
- File handling is far from optimum.
- Archive handling is not too clever either.
- Testing should be done more thoroughly as there are many special cases
in compression routines which get used very rarely.
- Documentation of code and algorithms is totally missing.
This program is designed to match up items in two different lists, which may
have two different systems of coordinates. The program allows the two sets of
coordinates to be related by a linear, quadratic, or cubic transformation.
There was a major change in version 0.15: the first stage uses the clever method
of finding the most likely triangles described in Tabur, Publications of the
Astronomical Society of Australia, vol 24 , page 189 (2007). This replaces the
more brute-force-ish method of Valdes et al., Publications of the Astronomical
Society of the Pacific, vol 107, page 1119 (1995), which was employed in version
up to 0.14.
The program was designed and written to work on lists of stars and other
astronomical objects, but it might be applied to other types of data. In order
to match two lists of N points, the main algorithm calls for O(N^6) operations
(yes, that's N-to-the-sixth), so it's not the most efficient choice. I find
myself becoming impatient for N >= 100, but your mileage may vary. On the other
hand, it does allow for arbitrary translation, rotation, and scaling...
OptimFROG is a lossless audio compression program. Its main goal is to
reduce at maximum the size of audio files, while permitting bit identical
restoration for all input. It is similar with the ZIP compression, but it
is highly specialized to compress audio data.
OptimFROG obtains asymptotically the best lossless audio compression
ratios. It has Windows, Linux, and Mac versions, fully featured input
plug-ins for the Windows Media Player, foobar2000, Winamp2/3/5, dBpowerAMP,
XMPlay, QCD, and XMMS audio players (with bitstream error resilience,
ID3v1.1 and APEv2 read tagging support, ID3v2 compatible), optimal support
for all integer PCM wave formats up to 32 bits and an extensible streamable
(error tolerant) compressed format. It is also fast, the default mode
encodes CD quality audio data at 12.4x real-time and decodes at 17.4x real-
time on AMD Athlon XP 1800+ (the fastest mode encodes at 28.1x real-time
and decodes at 24.7x real-time). Self-extracting (sfx) archives can also be
created with a small overhead of just 54 KB.
