Vivacious Colors 1.1 (Icon Theme) released, Install on Ubuntu / Linux Mint via PPA

Vivacious Colors 1.1 (Icon Theme) is released, available for Ubuntu 15.04 vivid Vervet, ubuntu 14.10 Utopic Unicorn, Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr (LTS), Linux Mint 17.2 Rafaela, Linux Mint 17.1 Rebecca, Linux Mint 17 Qiana

Vivacious Colors is a Vivid and Modern GTK icon theme. Featuring an completely NEW set of application icons(Re-designed by RAVEfinity based on Plasma-Next, Flattr and Emerald.). And amazing folders and indicators. All the icons in vivacious are modern and clean but make use of gradients and shading for more detail and sophistication. Vivacious uses a fusion of components from many great open source icon projects. But we add to and develop many new aspects of our own on top of this Including taking on new App icon development & re-design and other aspects as needed. Vivacious features 4 hand crafted folder colors by default. and 10 more installable via the folder-colors package.

Vivacious Colors is based on our tried and true Vibrancy Colors icon theme framework (Folders, Indicators, Actions etc). However we have completely replaced the rounded App icons with a newly re-designed (With some parts built from scratch) Set of vivid and beautiful application icons that come in multiple shapes and are fully SVG.

Vivacious uses Plasma Next icons as a base for our app icons. However we have overhauled the look of nearly everything (to match our design vision) We have also created lots of new icons and redesigned many aspects. The theme has also been built out so nearly all common apps and even uncommon ones "theme" with our theme! A huge thanks to the Emerald Icon theme and Vince Luice for his hard work making Plasma Next Icons more GTK friendly. Vivacious is based on Emerald and Plasma but we look different as we have gone in a different direction.

Fully tested/built to work on most major GTK desktops including:
Unity, Cinnamon, Gnome Shell, Gnome Classic, Mate, Xfce, LXDE, Openbox and more.

Theme Requires about 58 MB When installed.
And Up to 90 MB if you decide to install the 10 extra folder colors addon.

Ambiance & Radiance Flat is a Modern, Beautiful and Vivid Re-imagination of the Ambiance & Radiance Color GTK 2/3 Themes. It features a Modern, Clean And "Flat" look in your choice of 13 vibrant colors. Despite it's name it is a completely new theme. Not just a simple mod of Ambiance. (We wish it was that easy. But we redesigned lots of things.)

Now With Full Support for GTK 3.14 & 3.16. Ubuntu 15.04, Debian 8, Linux Mint Debian 2, Arch, OpenSuse, Fedora and more! Plus better GnomeShell support in 15.04 build. And of coerce we still have Full support of 14.04 LTS branch.

(!) 15.04.3 Is a small fix/update making the 15.04 build as good as the 14.04.

Re-imagined Flat and Re-designed in many aspets. Ambiance Flat borrows some inspiration and similarity to stock ambiance. However we have taken it to another level with seamless tool-bars, menus and beautiful crisp clean simple look everywhere. With some awesome punchy colors.

This Theme Fully Supports:
Ubuntu 15.04, 14.10 & 14.04. Linux Mint 17, Linux Mint Debian 2, Debian 8 And Linux Or BSD Distros With GTK Versions 3.10, 3.12, 3.14 & 3.16+

Full and tested support for most popular GTK desktops Including:
Unity, Cinnamon, MATE, XFCE, LXDE, OpenBox, Gnome Classic & Fallback. Gnome Shell is now supported in 15.04 GTK 3.14 Build.

We have reworked everything, so now one theme works on all desktops. No more separate versions cluttering things up.

There Are 3 Versions:

Ambiance- The darker flavor. Dark panel, menu, toolbar etc.
Ambiance Fusion- Is a hybrid blend w/Light toolbars. Dark panel, menu etc.
Radiance- is the lighter flavor. Light panel, menu etc.

Each Color Has Two Window Button Styles:
Pro- Monochrome Window Buttons
Regular- Color Window Buttons

A Special "Classic Big Border" Window Border Theme is also included as an option for MATE and XFCE Users Who have trouble resizing small/fine window borders. Don't know if that's a issue for anyone but we want to make sure everyone can enjoy and use the theme without struggle. So we include both. This Also may fix resize issues for some users without compiz on MATE and even XFCE.

Ambiance & Radiance Flat is not by or endorsed by the original Ambiance team. It is a NEW Fully flat Ambiance like theme that is Designed by the RAVEfinity Open Source Design Project, It has been in planning & development for a long awhile. Completely redesigned top to bottom by RAVEfinity with main code based on Ambiance & Radiance Colors (Another theme By RAVEfinity) & Stock Ambiance. We keep some design elements of stock Ambiance but we have also redesigned lots of parts on our own. A lot of new design work has gone into this.

Updated nvidia-settings to allow the use of the standard Display Configuration page when SLI Mosaic is enabled.
Fixed a bug that caused the kernel to report errors when unmapping DMA allocations on kernels with CONFIG_DEBUG_DMA_API enabled.
Fixed a bug that caused a kernel crash if SLI Mosaic and G-SYNC were used at the same time on a configuration with more display devices connected to one GPU than another.
Fixed a bug in nvidia-settings that caused the application to crash when saving the EDID to a file.
Fixed a bug that prevented the "mkprecompiled" utility included in the driver package from reading files correctly.
Fixed a bug that could cause an Xid error when terminating a video playback application using the overlay presentation queue in VDPAU.
Updated nvidia-installer to avoid recursing too deeply into kernel source trees under /usr/lib/modules, mirroring an existing restriction on recursion under /lib/modules.

Supports a wide range of Nvidia GPUs

In our tests, we’ve discovered that the Nvidia Linux Display Driver supports much more Nvidia graphics cards than the open source Nouveau driver. It plays well with most of the ION, ION LE, Quadro Plex, Quadro Sync, GRID, NVS, nForce Professional 3000, Quadro FX, Quadro Blade, as well as all the GeForce series.

All in all, if you have a PC or laptop equipped with an Nvidia GPU, and you have issues with the default Nouveau open source driver, you may want to install the Nvidia Linux Display Driver. It’s also the number one choice for gaming users.

Linux kernel is the essential part of any Linux operating system. It is responsible for resource allocation, low-level hardware interfaces, security, simple communications, basic file system management, and more. Written from scratch by Linus Torvalds (with help from various developers), Linux is a clone of the UNIX operating system. It is geared towards POSIX and Single UNIX Specification compliances.

Includes powerful features

Linux provides users with powerful features, such as true multitasking, multistack networking, shared copy-on-write executables, shared libraries, demand loading, virtual memory, and proper memory management.

Initially designed only for 386/486-based computers, now Linux supports a wide range of architectures, including 64-bit (IA64, AMD64), ARM, ARM64, DEC Alpha, MIPS, SUN Sparc, PowerPC, as well as Amiga and Atari machines.

MythTV is an open source and free software project that allows you to build a home media theater in just a few minutes and with minimum effort. It will deploy a so-called PVR (Private Video Recorder) or DVR (Digital Video Recorder) system on any type of PC hardware.

Features at a glance

The end goal of MythTV is to have a nice interface for watching TV, recording shows, listening to music, etc., all displayed on a TV and controlled by a remote. It provides basic 'Live TV' functionality, the ability to pause, fast forward, and rewind "live" TV sessions, supports multiple tuner cards and multiple simultaneous recordings.

Because of its distributed architecture, MythTV allows multiple playback machines and multiple recording machines on the same network, completely transparent to the user. The software is designed to compress video in software using mpeg4 (from libavcodec) or rtjpeg (from Nuppelvideo).

Full support for hardware MPEG-2 encoder cards like Hauppauge PVR-250 / PVR-350 is also included, along with a wide range of add-on modules that will extend the application’s default functionality.

Linux Mint 17.2 is a long term support release which will be supported until 2019. It comes with updated software and brings refinements and many new features to make your desktop experience more comfortable to use.

Linux Mint is an open source project that provides users with a completely free and easy to use operating system based on one of the most popular free distributions of Linux, Ubuntu. It includes a plethora of applications for common daily tasks.

The best way to describe the Linux Mint operating system is to image a virtual container where we can install one of the Cinnamon or MATE desktop environments on top of a stable base of Ubuntu, and then add some tweaks and in-house built applications.

Linux Mint is known for being a very user-friendly distribution of Linux used by hundreds of thousands of people, especially those who hate the Unity user interface of Canonical’s Ubuntu operating system.

The project is distributed as separate Cinnamon and MATE editions, each one being available for download as Live DVD ISO images that can be deployed on both 64-bit and 32-bit architectures. Users can write the ISO images to USB sticks or blank DVD discs and boot the live environment from either one instead of installing it.

The boot medium has been engineered to boot automatically in 10 seconds, but advanced users can press any key to access the boot menu, which enables them to run a memory test or start an existing operating system from the local disk drive.

The same bootsplash software that is implemented in Ubuntu is also used in Linux Mint, but customized with the distribution’s logo. It is very important to mention here that both Cinnamon and MATE desktop environments are created by the Linux Mint developers.

What New features in Linux Mint 17.2 Cinnamon ;

Other improvements

The USB Image Writer and the USB Stick Formatter now recognize a wider variety of USB sticks. They also feature improvements in terms of partitions alignment, boot flags. Sticks are better described and the tools also now use less CPU than they did before..
LibreOffice was upgraded to version 4.4.3.
HPLIP was upgraded to version 3.15.2, for more HP printers to be recognized and supported.
HAL was reintroduced to support DRM playback in Adobe Flash (note that this helps with certain video websites, but not all of them, a tutorial was written to workaround other DRM/Flash issues)
In the repositories, Inkscape was upgraded to version 0.91.

Main components

Linux Mint 17.2 features Cinnamon 2.6, MDM 2.0, a Linux kernel 3.16 and an Ubuntu 14.04 package base.

LTS strategy

Linux Mint 17.2 will receive security updates until 2019.
Until 2016, future versions of Linux Mint will use the same package base as Linux Mint 17.2, making it trivial for people to upgrade.
Until 2016, the development team won't start working on a new base and will be fully focused on this one.
