Difference between revisions of "PC configurations"

Revision as of 12:45, 24 February 2013

Note that this page is not directly related to any MCU project. Since I'm installing quite a number of different linux configurations on systems, this page contains some notes on how they've been configured.

Eclipse

This page describes how to hack a shared library to allow Unity menu integration of eclipse. The gist of it:

cd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/menuproxies && sudo sed -i 's/Eclipse/Xclipse/' libappmenu.so

To change the appearance of tool tips in unity to be legible within eclispe, follow these instructions. Gist:

sudo gedit /usr/share/themes/Radiance/gtk-2.0/gtkrc

and use #000000 for tooltip_fg_color and #f5f5b5 for tooltip_fg_color.
