Growl: GrowlingLion – Lion inspired growl theme

GrowlingLion - Growl style
Lion has been released, and I wanted to make a theme that felt native to the new system, So I created Growling Lion based on the Safari 5.1 downloads window.

You can download it here!

A big thanks to the creater of Mono – Christopher Lobay. I used his theme as the foundation for mine, so this is more of a remix than a completely new theme.

There is a little bug in Growl however, so I couldn’t quite get the animation I wanted. You see if I choose to animate stuff, the shadows goes away, and using css shadows in Growl style simply isn’t a good idea.

UPDATE #1
I have added priorities colouring to version 1.1 – thanks to Christian for making the code

I know a lot of people want’s me to change the font size, however I have chosen not to since I like it this way. You can however do it your self by right clicking the style (in Finder) and choose “Show Package Content”. Afterwards open the default.css (GrowlingLion.growlStyle/Contents/Resources/default.css) and edit the last couple of lines.

Magento: Moving topMenu from the header to the main body

If you have ever tried moving elements in Magento themes, you would know that it’s just the matter of moving a line of code. However sometimes you will run in to an element that simply won’t show up any place other than it’s original wrapping div. One of these elements is the topMenu which usually resides in the header.

Alfred Tip: Convert files to an Apple Tv compatible format

Don from dirtdon.com recently lured my interest in shell scripts that makes sense to use from Alfreds actions menu. He did so by writing an amazing article with some of favorite bash scripts, that he had made specifically for Alfred. He had a fantastic script for converting video files to an Apple Tv friendly format, that I saw great potential in. I therefore tried to get the script up and running on my own machine, and in the process of doing so, I found a bug in his script. I fixed it and told him about my fix.

Alfred Tip: Show/Hide hidden files in finder

If you ever have to view the hidden files on your mac, you will know that it can be quite cumbersome to remember and then use the terminal commands for showing these files. I do this all the time, so I thought I would make a shell script that could do it for me. The nice thing about shell scripts is that they can be nicely integrated with alfred. The way I have it setup, lets me simply type “show hidden files” in alfred when ever I need to see them, and if I do it again they will magically be hidden again.

You can get the same setup by downloading my script, and make a shortcut to it in the alfred preferencepane.as shown below.

Alfred Tip: Google Browse by Name

I discovered one of those amazing google services today. It’s called “Browse by Name”, and it’s basically an improved “I’m feeling lucky”. If you don’t know what “I’m feeling lucky” is, it’s a button on www.google.com that will redirect you to the first hit on what ever you have googled. This is a great time saver, however using the “I’m feeling lucky” button does not always direct you to the site you wanted. So what “Browse by Name” does is to try and improve that with some google mojo. “Browse by Name” will only redirect you to a site if it is certain that the first hit is correct, otherwise it will simply return a regular search.
