Here is something that I found on the commandlinefu
cp /work/host/phone/ui/main.cpp !#$:s/host/target

Here is the quick look at how the Font Selector looks like now. And its not just for the gnome-tweak-tool, its for all the places for font selection. I really loved it. So intuitive to use and amazingly good to look. This is what a good design and thinking can do. Kudos to Gnome team for coming up with this.

For all those who used to keep complaining about the bottom panel of Gnome which used to show a list of windows, you can get it back with bmpanel2 (there are lot of other options too, but this one is light.). You can have themes for the panel also.
And the best part about using gnome-shell is that I always getting a feeling that I now have more space on the Desktop. And, thus conky looks good too on the Desktop. Here’s a screenshot.

If you are looking for some nice conkyrc files, then you can head over to :
In this thread you can see some very nice conkyrc files with screenshots. You can browse through the thread and get the one that you like. But if you are like me and would like to download all of them to see the features and commands in each of them then you would need to copy each of these files and paste them separately. But if you have to do everything manually then there’s not much of being on Linux 🙂
