Disable recent documents in Gtk2/Gtk3

Posted by cviorel on March 7, 2012 No comments | This post has 541 views.

Use the following to disable recent documents in Gtk2/Gtk3:

echo 'gtk-recent-files-max-age=0' | tee -a $HOME/.gtkrc-2.0
echo 'gtk-recent-files-max-age=0' | tee -a $HOME/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini

1 2	echo 'gtk-recent-files-max-age=0' \| tee -a $HOME/.gtkrc-2.0 echo 'gtk-recent-files-max-age=0' \| tee -a $HOME/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini

The ugly part is that there is no way one can disable ‘Recently Used’ in the GtkFileChooser dialog box.

I needed some script to take care of my config files and put them in a single directory. So here it is.

#!/bin/bash

# Display All Hidden Dot Files In a Directory
# ls -a | egrep "^\." > backup_dotfiles.sh

DESTINATION="/storage/dotfiles"  # do not use a trailing slash (/)

green="\e[1;32m"

bold="\e[1;30m"
reset="\e[0m"

Liferea custom stylesheet

Posted by cviorel on June 16, 2011 1 comment | This post has 727 views.

I don’t like very much the default font used by Liferea, so I decided to use my custom font. Here is how:
1. Copy the default stylesheet to liferea folder in my $HOME:

cp /usr/share/liferea/css/liferea.css $HOME/.liferea_1.6

1	cp /usr/share/liferea/css/liferea.css $HOME/.liferea_1.6

2. Add this:

{
	font-family: Aurulent Sans;
}
