Ubuntu Tweak 0.4.4 released!

It is totaly one month since the last major release(0.4.2), now Ubuntu Tweak 0.4.4 is released with many improvements!

This version continue to take many improvements to you. As usual, I will use the screenshots to show what changes in this version:

Compositing Option to Metacity

Metacity is the default Window Manager in the GNOME Desktop environment.By default, Compiz is enabled to provide the eye-candy and the 3D desktop experience.

But some users may not enjoy with Compiz, or some reason can’t trun on the virtual effects.

You can try Compositing Metacity!

Just check the option of “Enable the Metacity’s Compositing feature”, you will enter a simple but useful Compositing environment provided by Metacity.

Some people will like this.

Nautilus Thumbnails Configure

Do you often browse pictures on your computer?

If so, do you know all the pictures will be copyed to a thumbnials to the user folder?

If you don’t know, open your nautilus and type “~/.thumbnails/normal” in the address bar. “WoW! thousonds of picture thumbnials is here!”

To protect the privacy or to save the disk space, you may not want these thumbnails to be too large or stay too long time.

So let Ubuntu Tweak to help you, how long will the thumbnails live, how much disk space will the thumbnails take, it will all under your control.

More useful scripts

At the version, Ubuntu Tweak contains more userful scripts. They will make your daily work more effectively.

File Type Manager

The last is “File Type Manager”!

Do you want a unified interface to edit the file types? Now File Type Manager will provide a interface to do this.

All the common used types can be set here, you can modify the file types to what you want by once.
