Show HEIC thumbnails in Gnome Files
This is all that is needed to get Apple HEIC image thumbnails in the Gnome file manager. I am currently running Ubuntu 23.04 but this should be similar in most distros using their package managers. It’s so easy a caveman could do it… sudo apt update sudo apt install libheif1 heif-thumbnailer heif-gdk-pixbuf That’s it. You […]
Creating a simple radial percent gauge in Flet
I was cleaning up and found some old gauges I had built years ago. I created the images in Inkscape and likely deleted the Flash and JavaScript code. Anyway, since I am really digging working with Flet I thought it might be cool to re-purpose the images and create a radial gauge in Flet. Setup […]
Interesting Linux Graphics Applications
I love working with graphics on my Linux machine and in looking for new tools I found a couple fairly nice Linux graphics applications that I have not seen before, along with a few I have. I hope they are useful to you as I find them to be nice additions to my graphic tool-sets. […]

Icons That Work Well With Candy, Sweet, and BeautyLine Icon themes (and Garuda).
I created a few neon icons that fit the neon cyberpunk style. This includes the SVG files that can be edited in Inkscape or used to replace standard icons. I am using the Sweet-Rainbow, candy Icons, and BeautyLine icons chained but was missing these four so I made them. Enjoy! Download the icons.
Adventure Time vector
I was digging through some old drawings and found this silly Adventure Time doodle. I do doodles when I get bored or stressed that I give away or trash, but not before taking a photo. You never know when something trivial can spark inspiration. Anyway, if you think it’s funny and want the vector to […]
Creating a Natron/KDEnlive space animation.
Had some downtime and wanted to give Natron a try. It has always ran like shit on the Linux distributions I run so I don’t think I’d use it for big projects but for small clips, like maybe subscribe buttons, it works great. I just hope someone picks up the development again, because I like […]
