Shutter: Feature-rich Screenshot App for Ubuntu

27 Sep

Shutter is a free & open-source feature-rich screenshot program which has been licensed under GPL v3. It allows user to capture almost everything. It can take a screenshot of a specific area, window, your whole screen, or even of a website – apply different effects to it, draw on it to highlight points, and then upload to an image hosting site, all in one window. Isn’t it awesome ?

Lets take a look at the Features :-

1)Capturing the Desktop :-

  1. Capture a Specific Area:  Select any region of the screen and capture only those parts you really need.
  2. Capture a Window: Simply use your mouse to select the window you want to capture.
  3. Capture the Desktop: It does not only capture all the contents of your desktop, it also supports Multi-monitor settings.
  4. Capture a Website: Shutter uses gnome-web-photo to capture a website without opening a browser window.
  5. Capture a Menu or Tooltip: Capturing menus or tooltips is very easy with Shutter. You select one of the options and a (user-defined) countdown starts. During this time you can open the desired menu or let a specific tooltip come up. Shutter will recognize and capture it. This one is my favourite :)

Conky: System Monitor for Ubuntu

06 Sep

Conky is a free, lightweight system monitor for GNU/Linux/BSD, that displays any information on your desktop i.e Cpu usage, Disk usage, Download/Upload speeds, CPU/Hard Disk temperatures, list of programs with pid (taking max cpu) etc . Originally a fork of Torsmo, Conky’s torsmo-based code is BSD licensed. New code in Conky has been licensed under the GPL 3.0.

Over the years, Conky has changed significantly from its predecessor, while maintaining simplicity and configurability. Conky can display just about anything, either on your root desktop or in its own window. Not only does Conky have many built-in objects, it can also display just about any piece of information by using scripts and other external programs.

Features : It has more than 300 built-in objects including support for :

  • A big list of OS stats (username, uptime, CPU usage, memory usage, download, upload, disk usage, “top” like process stats, and network monitoring, just to name a few)
  • Built in IMAP and POP3 support
  • Built in support for many popular music players (MPD, XMMS2, BMPx, Audacious)
  • Can be extended using built in Lua support, or any of your own scripts and programs.
  • Built in Imlib2 and Cairo bindings for arbitrary drawing with Lua.

and much much more….

Conky can display this info either as text, or using simple progress bars and graph widgets, with different fonts and colors.
