Flickr had been working on creating a new design photo page and after a few weeks of public review, Flickr has rolled out the newly designed photo page to the rest of the world.
One of the things Flickr did was increased the default view size by 28% So you get to show of your photo even more. Remember when you wanted to view the photo bigger, you had go to the page that had the bigger sizes? Well now you don’t have to, you can just click on the photo and it zooms out bigger using the lightbox feature and you get to see the photo on black which really makes your photos stand out.
The Next thing Flickr did was improve their navigation, you can finally move forward or back with the new newer and older buttons above each photo. You can now click the drop down menu on the groups the photo belongs to and you can also check out the latest photos from there too. Another thing is when you check out the latest photos from your contacts you don’t have to go back to the home page, you can just click next. This makes it much more easier. Read More
I’m a really big fan of Pidgin IM client because for me it’s open source and it works really well. But the downfall of this is that the interface isn’t that great in my opinion but I have found a way to give it a much better look and I will show you how to do this.
Before we begin, make sure you have Pidgin installed and other plugins, I recommend Facebook and Musictracker plugins.
Also one more thing before we start customizing is to make sure you back up this folder “C:\Program Files\Pidgin\pixmaps\pidgin”
After you have done that, exit out of pidgin and lets get to customizing!
Browse to this location C:\Program Files\Pidgin\pixmaps\pidgin and the contents should be like the one in the screenshot (left).
Now download these files, I edited them my self so what you will have to do is just drag and drop and replace all the files. Download
You can either extract it to: C:\Program Files\Pidgin\pixmaps\pidgin or just extract the compressed file and drag and drop, either way will work.
After that is complete, just run pidgin and everything should work just fine, you should have new icons and such.
If all done correctly, it should look something like this, depending on your configuration
If you have any problems implementing this new theme into pidgin, feel welcome to comment below and I will try to help you the best that I can.
