It doesn't work quite as intended out of the box, so you'll need this fix: sudo sh -c "curl | bash" This theme is based on the Numix Circle icon theme, which is installed first. (Note that if you're using a recent Debian-based distro, you may need to install software-properties-common to enable the add-apt-repository command.) The terminal commands below just focus on installing it: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:numix/ppa & sudo apt-get update ![]() Like application themes, the way to adjust them varies between desktops. The Gnome Yosemite icon theme closely matches the macOS appearance. Later, you'll be able to select the theme from your distro's appearance tweaker. Make sure to place it in the /.themes/ folder! If you don't have wget, just copy the link into your browser and download it manually. If that's the case, just skip this command. You may already have a /.themes/ folder (you'll know if the terminal puts out an error). To download it, open a terminal and enter: mkdir $HOME/.themes A Linux theme called macOS Sierra does exactly that. Basic Themingīefore anything else, if you want your desktop to look like a Mac's, you'll need to install the right themes. Launch RocketDock, then right-click on the panel. The full path depends on where the program was installed. In this guide we look at skinning Linux to look like a Mac using five desktop environments:īefore you get started, however, you need three things to make Linux look like macOS: a theme, the right icons, and a dock. Download and unpack the macosbigsurforrocketdockbymaigurisde0he8t.zip archive using 7zip Move the skin to the following path: C:Program FilesRocketDockSkins. However, it does depend on which desktop environment you're using. Making Linux resemble the macOS desktop is reasonably straightforward. This guide will try and imitate them on Linux, along with other things. ![]() After all, Macintosh desktops have two defining features: the application dock and the menu bar. Redesigning Linux to resemble macOS is straightforward. ![]() Avoid storing any items under the bed or other furniture.If you have piles of rocks or wood placed near your house, make sure to remove them or store them far from the property.Spray your clothes with insect repellent.If you have to clean or rearrange your shed, garage, basement, attic or basically any place that has the potential to host a spider family, protect yourself by wearing long-sleeved clothes, gloves, boots, and a hat.Read more about the different dangerous spider types and their way of living.Here are a few suggestions on how to avoid spider bites: Note: If you suspect that you’ve been attacked by one of the below-listed spider species, visit your doctor immediately:įully avoiding a spider bite can’t be 100% guaranteed, but you can always try to prevent such scenarios. The same steps apply to bites caused by venomous spiders as well. Buy an antibiotic cream and apply it to the bite to stop blister development.If you experience itching, take an antihistamine pill.Keep the injured area elevated to reduce the swelling. ![]() Place an ice pack of the mark for about 10 minutes.If you’ve been attacked by a non-venomous spider, you can treat the wound at home, following these steps: That being said, let’s discuss the venomous bites. Also, these types of spider bites don’t require a trip to the ER. Non-poisonous spiders can cause slight redness, irritation, paint and some itching with their bite. Like we said earlier, you might get attacked if the creature feels threatened in some way. It may come as a surprise, but spiders generally don’t bite that much. How can you tell if a spider bite is poisonous? Now that we’ve covered the physical characteristics of a spider bite, here are the symptoms to watch out for if you suspect you got munched on by such a creature: This is the basic scenario unless you got attacked by a venous type - physical signs are a whole nother story there. The bite mark itself is a bit raised, red, itchy, and can get swollen. Most of the time, you won’t even understand that a spider actually bit you, even with symptoms. Check out other dangerous spider species.Ī spider bite is no different than a general insect one. That being said, there are dangerous spider types that possess neurotoxins venom, which is proven to be lethal - the funnel-web spider in Australia and the wandering spider in Brazil. Venom from a widow spider or recluse almost never has fatal consequences. You will be surprised, but on this whole planet, only two spiders bites can actually affect your health - the window's one and the recluse’s. Spider venoms that require medical assistance contain different combinations of necrotic agents, serotonin, and neurotoxins. Now, let's talk a little bit about the actual venom. Their bites are famous for not being the most “pleasurable” things that you can experience and can cause some swelling for a couple of hours. But those who do are the cellar spider, the false widow spider, and the woodlouse spider. There are many spiders species in the UK, but there aren’t many spiders that have the tendency to bite. Generally, most spiders that you can find crawling in your home have really small fangs, meaning that they will have a time biting you. For example, a spider may attack you if you unintentionally touched it or corned it. These 8-legged creatures bite only to defend themselves in a threatening situation. Many insects on this planet bite with the intent to feed, but spiders aren’t one of those. The key to knowing how to handle a spider bite is to hourly inform yourself about the different spiders and the symptoms that follow their attack. While some species can cause you only mild discomfort, others can be very dangerous. Getting bitten by any type of insect is something you should take light-heartedly and spiders are no exception. The added bonus is that my partner, who's the one actually drawing the maps, has done a really nice job. There's a lot of backtracking in a metroidvania like Hollow Knight, and sometimes it's just really nice to be able to not only place a generic "go here" pin, which the game offers you, but to make a physical note that you would guess this area needs a dash/swim/shoot ability. So we've been map-making off-screen, creating to-scale replicas of Hollow Knight's corridors, towers, and all of its little metroidvania bits (you know, when you walk past a very obvious You Need An Ability To Get Through Here area) for our own use. That's not a flaw - it's a game about mysteries, exploration, and discovery, and it doesn't want to reveal all of its secrets. The in-game map is good, especially with the added complication of having to first find the map-maker in each new area, then make the map, but it doesn't tell you everything you need to know. Hollow Knight, at least for me and my partner (we're playing it simultaneously - him on the TV, me on the PC), has been an excellent note-taking game. I often play games with a notebook, but that's only because I'm often reviewing them, and I need to note down things like "this is very boring" or "every time X happens, the Switch fan starts making a very loud complaining noise", so I can put them in my review.īut rarely do I get to use a notebook for frantic scribblings, trying to piece together mysteries, work out narratives, and make maps - and even though that sounds tedious and potentially stressful, it feels massively nostalgic, harkening back to an age where games told you NOTHING, manuals sometimes told you some things, and ASCII-illustrated game guides were printed off from the internet in huge sheafs of your parents' expensive printer paper. Please don't look too closely, it is full of mistakes This is my notebook page for Return of the Obra Dinn. ![]() It's totally reasonable to expect a game to give you all the information you need within itself, with the exception of games like Harvest Moon, Animal Crossing, and Stardew Valley, for which a notebook is where you write all the things you can't possibly remember, like gifts, catalogue items, shop times, and where and when to catch fish. There are very few games these days that require a notebook to understand, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. but instead, as you can tell from the title, I want to talk about how Hollow Knight contributes to a legacy that has existed since the very first days of gaming: The need to take notes. And there's so much to talk about from that entire day's worth of playing! The melancholy, the audio work, the music, the cuteness. ![]() In fact, I've apparently played it for 28.5 hours, which is a lot of bug-time. Well, the mistake has been rectified, at least. ![]() Placing calls to any of your contacts is done using the device's built-in functionality, as WhatsApp doesn't support this on its own, butit would be great if users would have the possibility to place calls through the application instead of using the phone's default functionality.

Send instant messages and share video or audio with friends There are plenty of fun graphics you can use, as you will notice when activating the "Emoji" list to add emoticons in your messages. ![]() The new message notifications appear in a non-intrusive manner and the navigation through the chat history or any menus of the application is as smooth as it can be. Friendly interface with all the functions at handĪt first glance, the app has a somber look, with its dark background inside the menus and the chat area, but this can be easily changed and you can customize the appearance using any images you want.The smooth navigation through all its menus and chat windows is also an advantage that is worth taking into account. ![]() This particular utility makes it a breeze to interact with others in a variety of ways and have lots of fun while doing it. These primary functions of such devices can be found with a lot of improvements in applications like WhatsApp. Communication is at the core of social life and most people use their mobile phones to call their friends and send text messages to share thoughts, ideas and express their feelings. ![]() Built for indoor or outdoor use, this Chr. 50-Count Sugar Coated LED Gumdrop Color Changing Lights Christmas Light Strand.
