Enabling "Aero Snap" in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Nothing else to say everything is on the video:

Remember to install wmctrl which is needed to make this work:

$ sudo apt-get install wmctrl

Here are the command lines:

Command line 0:

wmctrl -r :ACTIVE: -b remove,maximized_vert,maximized_horz && WIDTH=`xdpyinfo | grep 'dimensions:' | cut -f 2 -d ':' | cut -f 1 -d 'x'` && HALF=$(($WIDTH/2)) && wmctrl -r :ACTIVE: -b add,maximized_vert && wmctrl -r :ACTIVE: -e 0,0,0,$HALF,-1

Command line 1:

wmctrl -r :ACTIVE: -b remove,maximized_vert,maximized_horz && WIDTH=`xdpyinfo | grep 'dimensions:' | cut -f 2 -d ':' | cut -f 1 -d 'x'` && HALF=$(($WIDTH/2)) && wmctrl -r :ACTIVE: -b add,maximized_vert && wmctrl -r :ACTIVE: -e 0,$HALF,0,$HALF,-1

Command line 2:

wmctrl -r :ACTIVE: -b add,maximized_vert,maximized_horz

Command line 3:

wmctrl -r :ACTIVE: -b remove,maximized_vert,maximized_horz

Add color to Bash prompt symbols

This is actually pretty simple. The trick behind is to add this line into "$HOME/.bashrc".

In the terminal:

$ sudo gedit ~/.bashrc

And enter this lines at the end of the file or anywhere really.

# Add color to Bash prompt symbols

PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ '

Save the file and close the terminal. Next time you restart the terminal the bash will be in a different color.
