LXScreenhot & LXFind

The great Stefano has been working hard for this updates. The new apps are really simple, efficient and fast, very close to the Lubuntu philosophy. Also, new icons for them were created, using the Lubuntu Box (the forthcoming theme) design guides:

If you want to test them just do this on a terminal (ignore the first line if you already added the additional Lubuntu Desktop PPA) :

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lubuntu-desktop/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y lxscreenshot lxfind

LxScreenshot

A new great tool ready for using with our beloved Lubuntu: LxScreenshot! This is another brilliant creation from the Stefano, the same author of LxFind. You can imagine what’s its purpose, creating screen captures with ease and a simple interface, with timing capture (in seconds) and the option to choose the folder to save it on.

You can install this tool just by looking for it with the Lubuntu Software Center if you added the PPA. If not, type this in a terminal:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lubuntu-desktop/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install lxscreenshot

It’s highly recommendable to put a handy button on the panel quicklaunch for executing it.

Haven’t tried LxFind yet? For those who doesn’t know it, it will be the default file and document search tool or Lubuntu. For trying it (remember, it’s not an ultimate comilation) put this on a terminal:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lubuntu-desktop/ppa

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install lxfind

If you already added our PPA just install the package “lxfind”.
