Drag to set nautilus background


hide | show
Hiho,

before I forget it, here's your gnome-tip-of-the-day :);
To quickly set a background of a nautilus-window you can drag an image to the window with the middle mouse button pressed. When you release the button a menu will pop up, where you can choose "Set as background".


Cheers!

Unrelated again, but I'm getting used to epiphany, and learning tricks to make me love it (such as the "-n" trick from a few days back).

On that note, anyone with a mouse that has extra buttons should check out a neat little app called imwheel. This enables you to map your extra mouse buttons to keyboard commands.

For epiphany, map your .imwheelrc entries like this:
"^Epiphany.*"
None, Up, Alt_L|Left
None, Down, Alt_L|Right
Shift_L, Up, Control_L|Page_Up
Shift_L, Down, Control_L|Page_Down

Now, you can go back and forward in the history with your left and right extra mouse buttons, as well as left and right through your tab list by holding shift and then the left or right mouse button.

Lots more information is available on the Gentoo Forums.

Great =D. I'm gonna try this as I have buttons on the side of my mouse and I don't use them right now. Shouldn't I first change something in my X-configuration?

Yes, first you need to update your x configuration to include something like:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Buttons" "7"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
EndSection

The key item there being the ZAxisMapping.

Then, you need to have an xmodmap command run every time your are in x. I've added it to my xdm script. Like this:

xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5"

At this point, you would want to set up your .imwheelrc file.

Last, put the following in your Gnome Session start up commands:

imwheel -f -k -b "67"

And then the magic will just happen each time you start Gnome.
