Gnome-Pie is a circular application launcher. It is made of several pies,
each consisting of multiple slices. The user presses a key stroke which
opens the desired pie. By activating one of its slices, applications may
be launched, key presses may be simulated or files can be opened.
Xtacy, a Graphics Hack for X11 windows
--------------------------------------
"Wow! This is better than snorting caffeine!" --Neil Braun
Xtacy is a graphics hack which I've been, well, hacking on, for 2 or 3
years now. It's been compiled on DECstations 3100, SGI running IRIX 5.3,
and Linux boxen. I think someone got it running on a Sun once, but it
had problems with the circle draw function, so a couple of the modes
looked quite odd. Not that odd is bad. Just odd.
So what does it do? Xtacy displays bouncing shapes, rotating palettes,
a couple fractals, a kaleidascope, and lots of more stuff.
xvkbd is a virtual (graphical) keyboard program for X Window System
which provides facility to enter characters onto other clients
(softwares) by clicking on a keyboard displayed on the screen. This may
be used for systems without a hardware keyboard such as kiosk terminals
or handheld devices. This program also has facility to send characters
specified as the command line option to another client.
xvt - an xterm replacement, supporting color, transparency, and more,
with less!
xvt, simply continues on the original authors work -- John Bovey, University
of Kent at Canterbury. With few exceptions, it does everything Xterm does.
But also does a great deal more, with less overhead. This version will also
leverage vt(4), FreeBSD's new console driver. Which replaces syscons(4).
xmotd is a message-of-the-day browser for X11 and dumb-terminals, that
can also be used to broadcast messages to users logged in across a
network. xmotd periodically checks whether a file has been modified
and pops up and displays the contents of the file, if it has.
This package contains X Proxy Management Protocol headers.
Metalock is an enhanced screen locker for the X11 windowing system. It is
designed to be used with a background screen daemon, such as xidle.
Current features include:
- Support for pixmap (image) xpm background and login box.
- It gives visual feedback as you type the password (Shows username and
* for each character of password typed.)
- Bind arbitrary commands to key combinations (allows tasks such as
pause/un-pause music without unlocking the screen)
- Optional XFT support for anti-aliased fonts. (This is optional in case
greater security is desired)
- Optional Imlib2 support for use of png or jpg formats, which are more
appropriate for photos or high-color images than xpm.
- Portable to most UNIX-like operating systems, developed on FreeBSD.
ARandR is designed to provide a simple visual front end for XRandR. Relative
monitor positions are shown graphically and can be changed in a drag-and-drop
way.
XSel is a command-line program for getting and setting the contents of
the X selection. Normally this is only accessible by manually
highlighting information and pasting it with the middle mouse button.
This port is similar to x11/xsel, but with different CLI syntax and
a bit more functionality. It is a lot more popular, too.
xsel is a quick hack to give access to the X selection from the command line.
You can paste stuff from the X selection to stdout and copy stuff from stdin
to X selection.
