How to activate the application menu in Chrome? (Windows)

One of the interesting points of Google Chrome is that not only allows installing extensions, but web applications. Many of the available work in the store as mere shortcuts to the sites in question, but there are many who work in the background and even run without an Internet connection.

default icons of the applications installed on Chrome appear when you open a new tab, which may discomfort those who want to manage from the Windows desktop. If you do not want to anchor them individually in the taskbar can activate the application menu of Chrome .

is a feature borrowed from Chrome OS has been experimentally implemented in the latest versions of the browser. What this function does is add an icon in the taskbar (independent of Chrome), which includes shortcuts to the apps installed on the browser from Google. If you want to try it, teach them to activate it.

Note: As this is an experimental feature, it may not always work properly or cause problems in the browser. Follow the steps at your own risk.

In the first step we open the Google browser, write about: flags or chrome :/ / flags in the address bar and press Enter.

Once

experiments in paragraph walk the list until you find the entry “Display the Chrome apps” . We click on “Enable” and restart Chrome for the changes to take effect. Later we will see the new icon anchored in the task bar and click on it to find the shortcuts to the apps installed.

From now on every time we install a new app from the Chrome Web Store icon will be added to the launcher. It is a good resource for those who wish to launch web tools directly from the Windows taskbar without overloading individual shortcuts.

addition, right-click on each icon on the application menu can choose how to open or remove the browser from Google .

If you ever want to remove the application launcher, will enter the area again experiments (repeating the steps above) and will press the “Disable” in “Show the menu Chrome applications “.

What do you think of Chrome apps menu? Do you think it should be a stable feature of the Google browser? The comments are open for you to leave your opinion.

Retrieves the classic menu in GNOME 2 Xfce, without installing anything

class=”article first_main_article” readability=”45″>

Whom ye lay under the GNOME desktop classic , something I have repeated more than once: the answer is Xfce, the refuge of those who love GNOME 2. It is a simple, lightweight and stable, slowly gaining functionality. In fact, it is very easy to stop with the two panels of old and almost the same options.

Once

discussed the advantages of Xfce, we will see a “trick” to get the old menu GNOME 2 as you can see in the image above these lines (I confess that I never ended that system, but I guess many of you it’s the opposite).

The trick is really

edit the Xfce menu by hand , as it was not long ago, not a very difficult task, but rather laborious. Fortunately, it’s about follow a few steps, copy and paste . Without the need to install anything.

But how to find the here, but where the author, XunilinuX , as originally published: in DesdeLinux. Mola mola ¿or

Now you can put the ‘global menu’ ever in GNOME Shell

first_main_article” class=”article readability=”39″>

One of the drawbacks that users put GNOME Shell is the fact that the menu disappears from the global options that were deployed applications, but now we can recover the function GNOME Shell .

As noted in WebUpd8

, several developers are working on a version of GNOME for GTK3 Global Menu, and in fact already exist alpha versions available for download , so you can use it in GNOME Shell.

the new menu now only works with GTK applications (both as GTK3 GTK2), but for example LibreOffice, Firefox or Qt tools do not work now, and in fact may be a problem with some GTK tools, such as Shutter.

WebUpd8 the original post you can find the installation process for GNOME Shell Global Menu, available for example for Arch Linux AUR but is also present for users of Ubuntu and Fedora. The procedure is a bit more cumbersome than usual , but it sure is simplified in later versions of the development.

Change wallpaper automatically, and set the Start menu in LXDE

first_main_article” class=”article readability=”52″>

LXDE ended two days, but I had been a thorn stuck in the affairs that are advertised in the headline of this post and we will move to finalize now, to lay aside this lightweight desktop, at least for now.

The first point many people may seem silly, to me, that in 2011 you have to go full manually changing wallpaper seems very dodgy. There are programs to deal with these things, of course, but in an attempt to preserve as much minimalism and stark LXDE spending resources , it is best to go by a script .

best I’ve found has been posted by a user of Linux Mint on the forums of the distribution, as you can see below:

copiáis as is a plain text editor Leafpad , you change the path of images (“DIR =”) to the appropriate (it is also possible to vary the range of changes by modifying the number in the “sleep”) and you keep the name you wish to extension. “sh” (without the quotes, for example rotator.sh). Now we have to do executable (right click and Permits) and already with a double click should do its function.

what matters is that it does not bother or touch running the file manually to change in wallpaper, you can add to startup programs in “~ / .config / autostart /” though, as the author warns script , should kill him when you close or restart the session , if he continues to replicate in memory the successive restarts. There are two ways to do this.

Finally, in contrast to the previous “frivolity” in work environments where the user is not the computer administrator but merely to use the system to perform specific functions for which it has been set, there menu items leftover LXDE applications in many cases.

It is at least hide the menu options such as installing software or access to administrative tools, and to do this you must edit the file (so that in Linux everything is a file … ). In this case, saving me the explanation and that there is an article BlogDRAKE do fine.

Now, goodbye LXDE, we will follow the trail:)
