From the Status.Net wiki pages:
How to create your own theme
There are several ways to theme StatusNet. You may choose one of the methods below:
- If you just want to change the text, link, background, content, sidebar colours, background image:
- Do this from the Admin->Design settings (recommended!). You could also create a directory and a file structure like the default theme, search and replace with your own values. This is more work, but, you can do this if you plan to make additional minimal changes.
- If you want to change the background images and colours:
- Create a directory and a file structure like the default theme. Key files are listed at the end of this page.
- Have your stylesheet import base/css/display.css and add your own styles below. It is okay to add minimal changes here.
- If you want to create a different layout, typography, background images and colours:
- Create your own theme directory (like base or default) with stylesheets and images like.
- Enable your theme by selecting it from the Admin->Design interface. You can set site’s logo from here as well.

We are using FreeMind as our mind mapping software. We are now testing XMind. Who will win?
FreeMind is a premier free mind-mapping software written in Java. The recent development has hopefully turned it into high productivity tool. We are proud that the operation and navigation of FreeMind is faster than that of MindManager because of one-click “fold / unfold” and “follow link” operations.
With XMind, you can just double-click to create and edit topics anywhere on the map. Drag-and-drop for reorganizing topics, moving markers, taking a mapshot, and adding attachments. You can even search on topic with Google and drag images into your map without leaving the working window.
UltraStar Deluxe is an open source karaoke game inspired by the Singstar™ game available on the Playstation®. It allows up to six players to sing along with music using microphones in order to score points, depending on the pitch of the voice and the rythm of singing.

StepMania is an open source and cross-platform rhythm video game and engine. It was originally developed as a simulator of Konami’s popular arcade game series Dance Dance Revolution, and has since evolved into an extensible rhythm game engine capable of supporting a wide variety of rhythm-based game types. Released under the MIT License, StepMania is free software.
Anyway those commercials demonstrate how interesting is this kind of interactivity!!!

Eclipse is great tool and its plugins system seems to provide an infinity quantity of possibility. Let’s find out how to use a plugin that let you keep under control your bug directly in your favorite IDE (in its last incarnation Ganymede)!
First of all be sure your version of Eclipse include the Mylyn.
At the moment, if you have the “Classic” version of Eclipse or you experiments dependency problems, you need to add the Mylyn update site:
http://eclipse.org/mylyn/downloads/
Then you simply have to add a Trac site as new Task Repository:
Window->Show View->Other
Now you have to select Task Repositories to add a list of Local and Remote tasks lists.
Click on the Add Task Repository icon and Eclipse will ask you which kind of task repository you want to use. You may use much issue tracking systems as you wish but you will have to install the relative “connector”: click on Install More Connectors … and you will have new, unexpected, panorama of bug tracking system.
You can use Gmail and, among many others, the Eclipse Trac Plugin!

Eclipse is a great software and we use it for Java, J2ME, C/C++, PHP, Javascript and Perl. Everything!
Now, with the new version of GTK+ 2.18, there is a know bug that break the buttons of your Eclipse (and others software). It’s not a GTK+ bug, it’s due to a wrong usage of the new version of this library by Eclipse so we have to wait for this issue to be solved.
In the meanwhile you can workaround this problem creating a simple bash script:
#!/bin/sh
export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1
/ECLIPSE_DIRECTORY/eclipse
And then use this script to run your Eclipse installation!
