1.- The Best Free Blog Header Resources, Chapter II

Header images are known to help create a more unique impression in visitors’ minds, so choosing one that sets your blog apart can be a daunting task.

There is some controversy, however what size and type of image should be properly used as a header image.

For one thing, they improve the “branding” of your business, but, unless used properly, they can negatively impact your search engine rankings. Optimizing the header image is key, so it is recommended that you use alt and description tags that are similar or exactly the same as your site title and description.

Wide headers sometimes create negative results with search engines as necessary keywords are not included and cannot be picked up, as they are shown below the fold – the area below the screen’s visible area. Use header images in conjunction with your site’s title, and appropriate page links (preferably displayed above the header, if it is large).

5.- Tango Icon Theme Guidelines.

tango iconsThe Tango icon theme's goal is to make
applications not seem alien on any desktop.

A user running a multiplatform application should not have the impression that the look is unpolished and inconsistent with what he or she is used to.

While this isn't about merging styles of all desktop systems, we do aim to not be drastically different on each platform.

Along with a generic type fallback, having a similar style will help in the transition phase with some legacy icons which may still remain on a user's particular desktop.
 

6.- x2x allows the keyboard and mouse on one ("from") X display to control another ("to") X display.


x2x allows the console (keyboard and mouse) on one X terminal to be used to control another X terminal. It also provides ancillary functions like clipboard sharing.

The software was developed in 1996 by David Chaiken at DEC. It is currently maintained by Mikhail Gusarov.
x2x joins a pair of X displays together, as if they were a single multiheaded display. The pointer can be warped between displays, or, depending on how you start x2x, can slide from one display to the other when it runs off the edge of the screen.

Keyboard focus also moves between displays in the way you'd expect, and the X selection propagates around. At least one of the displays involved (specifically, the one being controlled remotely) must support the XTEST extension. (The servers shipped by Debian support this.)
