I discovered Meteor thanks to my daughter who used it for a project at MIT. I was amazed at how much she had built in such a short time. I had also been trying to figure out how to build a browser-based crypto app so I jumped into Meteor and had an MVP for cloak.ly in a few short months starting from nothing. Learning Meteor really alters what you perceive as easy and difficult in full-stack development. It has an amazing ability to simplify your thinking and your code. Community support in terms of packages is outstanding as well which saves tremendous time. The quality of the software is outstanding with very few regressions cropping up during their frequent releases.
Being at the bleeding edge of the js community does have its downsides however. While early Meteor (with Blaze/handlebars templates) was exceedingly simple, Meteor have had to introduce support for both angular and react. In combination with the move to ECMAscript this has resulted in a lot of work for developers to just keep up with the evolution of the platform. Someone who was an expert 6 months ago might quickly find themselves being a newb again. If you're someone who doesn't like change you may want to stick to jQuery.
Living in the bay area I have the luxury of being able to attend Meteor events frequently. Having met many members of the MDG team, I have tremendous confidence in the future of the platform. This is a very solid group with a rare combination of broad vision and excellent execution.
Meteor is my favorite framework. It makes everything fun. Syncing data across devices is really easy and you don't have to mess around with sockets at all. You can insert data into the database on the client. There's tons of security options. There's over 3000 packages on the packaging system. Instant iOS and Android apps. Amazing, reactive routing. Free hosting. Easy deployment with Meteor Up. What's not to like?
Meteor is so powerful and flexible. I love it. In the near future, it will be the top-used framework.
We have gone "all in" on Meteor and I recommend you do to.
Microsoft has done an incredible job of keeping the .NET Framework powerful and stable. It is well designed and keeps getting more robust with each release. It isn't the most popular technology in this space, but I think a good case can be made to use .NET in many new projects.
As we started on Windows Phone we use C# and .NET for most of our apps and sites. Being a small team of 2, using .NET enables us to work on each part of the service without having to switch to different languages.
Without Meteor cloak.ly could not have been built as quickly by such a small team. Meteor was instrumental to getting an MVP up quickly and dealing with the complexities of browser-based encryption.
I use .NET alongside with C# since my university studies, and I really enjoy it. Especially .NET Core, which is the best thing that happened to Microsoft since... ever.
Built on Node.js, Meteor's real time reactivity and its wide package ecosystem allows us to quickly prototype and build apps in a lean way
Server side development language and frameworks: ASP.Net MVC 4, Asp.Net WebApi 2, Razor View engine, Moq, Entity Frameworks, etc.
TwinCore creates modern web and cloud applications based on .NET TwinCore supports legacy .NET applications

Maybe you are working to keep your cholesterol level down. If you stopped eating lobster, crab, and the like because you thought shellfish was loaded with cholesterol, then think again. Throw another shrimp on the barbecue and read on, because shellfish, which were once blacklisted by the cholesterol police, have been given a reprieve.
Shellfish and Cholesterol
Shellfish's cholesterol level is not as health threatening as once believed. There are a few reasons why shellfish may have a bad reputation when it comes to cholesterol. First, shellfish contain a variety of sterols, a group of chemical compounds that includes cholesterol. Previously, scientists could not distinguish among the different sterols and all were labeled as cholesterol. As a result, the amount of cholesterol in shellfish was overestimated. In reality, shellfish contain less cholesterol than meat or poultry.
Not Much Fat, Though
Another factor that worked against shellfish was the thought that dietary cholesterol raised blood cholesterol levels. Because shellfish does contain cholesterol, it was considered bad for you. Now we know that dietary cholesterol is only a minor contributor to blood cholesterol levels: total calorie intake and the quantity and type of fat, such as trans fat and saturated fat, in the diet are far more important. Fortunately, the fats in shellfish are in the healthy category.
Bad Company
The company that shellfish keep, however, can be a problem. Shellfish are often served with melted butter or a mayonnaise-based tartar sauce. And shellfish are frequently battered and deep fried. Both actions can turn a low-fat dish into a high-fat bomb by increasing the total fat and the saturated fat. Instead, try steaming shellfish and serving with lemon and spices.
Types of Shellfish
It is as simple as it sounds—shellfish are sea creatures that have a shell of some kind. There are 2 basic categories:
Crustaceans—They have elongated bodies with a jointed, soft shell. These include crabs, crayfish, lobster, and shrimp.
Mollusks—These have soft bodies covered by a shell of one or more pieces. Mollusks are divided into 3 categories:
- Univalves—a single shell and a single muscle; includes abalone and snail
- Bivalves—2 shells hinged together by a strong muscle; includes clam, scallop, mussel, and oyster
- Cephalopods—tentacles attached to the head and an ink sac; includes octopus and squid
Shellfish Allergies
Shellfish are one of the most common allergens, and the allergy is rarely outgrown. Reactions usually appear within minutes to a few hours after eating shellfish, inhaling cooking vapors, or handling shellfish, but can be delayed as long as 24 hours. Common symptoms include:
- Nasal congestion
- Hives
- Itching
- Swelling
- Swelling around mouth
- Heartburn
- Wheezing
- Shortness of breath
- Throat closing
- Nausea
- Upset stomach
- Cramps
- Gas
- Diarrhea
- Light-headedness
- Fainting
The key to living with a shellfish allergy is to avoid all foods or products that contain shellfish. Make sure you read a product's label, because shellfish may be a minor ingredient.
Shellfish Poisoning
Food poisoning can occur after eating tainted shellfish; clams and mussels are the types most frequently at fault. Symptoms can occur in as little as 30 minutes after eating and begin with a tingling and numbness around the lips. Staggering, giddiness, and muscular incoordination may appear and speech is often difficult to understand. In severe cases, shellfish poisoning may result in seizures, coma, or death. If you suspect shellfish poisoning, seek medical attention right away.
The sickness is most often caused by a toxin that shellfish ingest along with the plankton they eat during certain times of the year. Unlike bacteria that can cause food poisoning, these toxins cannot be destroyed through cooking. To protect yourself, always buy from reputable seafood sellers.
Mercury Content
Considerable concern has grown about mercury levels in fish. This is a problem with some shellfish too. Although shellfish do not usually approach the mercury levels of the worst fish offenders, such as swordfish and shark, lobster has as much mercury as canned white tuna, and scallops and crab have about a sixth as much. Mussels vary in mercury content depending on their origin. Shrimp and oysters have little to no mercury content.
Guidelines for Cooking Shellfish
Seafood should be cooked so that the internal temperature is 145°F (63ºC). You will also know when seafood is cooked by doing the following:
- Fish—Cut through the side of the fish and open it up to expose the flesh. The inside should be opaque and separate easily.
- Shrimp and lobster—When cooked, the flesh should be pearly-opaque.
- Scallops—The flesh should look milky white/opaque and firm.
- Clams, mussels, oysters—When the shells open, they are done. Throw out any ones that do not open.

Principal Proposed Uses
Made from the beans of the cocoa tree, chocolate was first developed as a food in South America, where it was primarily consumed as a bitter beverage. Cocoa was not combined with sugar until the Spaniards brought chocolate back to Europe. The Latin name of the plant is Theobroma cocoa . "Theobroma" means food of the gods. Because of this, one of the stimulant substances in chocolate is named theobromine; this caffeine-related substance does not contain the element bromine.
What Are the Possible Health Benefits of Chocolate?
Chocolate is rich in antioxidants in the flavonol family, substances similar to those found in green tea , red wine, grapes, soy and other potentially healthful foods. However, this alone is not enough to prove that chocolate provides any health benefits. In gigantic studies of other strong antioxidants, such as vitamin E , none of the hoped-for benefits materialized. Only double-blind, placebo-controlled studies can prove a treatment effective, and for chocolate few have been performed. (For information on why such studies are essential, see Why Does This Database Rely on Double-Blind Studies? )
Nonetheless, some potential benefits have been seen in preliminary trials. A controlled study of 20 males with mild hypertension compared the effects of 100 g daily of a flavonol-rich dark chocolate as compared to a flavonol-free white chocolate. 1 Results appeared to indicate that the dark chocolate produced improvements in blood pressure. A subsequent study of similar design, this one enrolling 44 people with mild hypertension, found that a much lower dose of dark chocolate (6.3 g daily), also significantly reduced blood pressure levels. 11 A review including several additional studies drew the same conclusion regarding chocolate's modest yet favorable effect on blood pressure. 12 A larger analysis of 20 trials studied 856 patients with and without hypertension. The trials compared flavonol-rich cocoa products to low or non-flavonol foods for an average of 4 weeks. Cocoa was found to significantly decrease systolic blood pressure in 20 trials and diastolic blood pressure in 19 trials. 13
Chocolate has also shown some promise for improving cholesterol profile . In one study, 57 people with high cholesterol were given either a standard snack bar or a snack bar enriched with cocoa flavanols. 7 Over 6 weeks, the results appeared to indicate that cocoa improved cholesterol levels to a greater extent than placebo. Two other preliminary studies found evidence that consumption of chocolate can improve levels of HDL ("good") cholesterol. 9,10
A review of several observational studies of 20,951 healthy adults found those with a habitual, high intake of chocolate (16-99 g daily) had a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease when compared to those who did not eat chocolate. Cardiovascular disease was defined as a fatal or non-fatal cardiovascular event, stroke, or coronary artery disease. 14 Similar results were found in multiple reviews that included 144,823 adults. Consumption of 3-4 servings a weeks of chocolate was associated with a lower risk of heart attack, stroke, and coronary artery disease. The type of chocolate and the amount consumed per week were not identified.15
One double-blind study failed to find that flavanol-rich cocoa improved blood vessel health in people with established cardiovascular disease. 3
Besides flavonols, chocolate contains a fat called stearic acid. Although it is a saturated fat, stearic acid is hypothesized to have cardiovascular-preventive benefits. However, this is not yet proven. 2
Like other antioxidants, consumption of high flavonol cocoa might also offer some protection to the skin from UV damage. 4 This could, in theory, help prevent sunburn , reduce symptoms of photosensitivity , and help prevent age-related skin changes . However, the benefits would be small compared to standard sunblock.
An unpublished double-blind study (available only in the form of a press release) reportedly found that dark chocolate is helpful for chronic fatigue syndrome. 8
The theobromine in cocoa, besides being a stimulant, might also have a cough-suppressant effect. 5
In studies, the typical daily dose of flavanols from chocolate thought to offer a beneficial effect range widely from 30 to 500 mg per day.
The flavanol content of chocolate itself also varies widely. White chocolate contains little to no flavanols, commercial dark chocolate can contain as much as 500-2,000 mg of flavonols per 100 grams of chocolate. Special flavonol-enriched forms of chocolate are also available.
Safety Issues
As a widely consumed food, chocolate is assumed to have a high safety factor. However, because of its caffeine and theobromine content, it would be expected to have potential side effects similar to those of coffee and black tea , namely: heartburn, gastritis, insomnia, anxiety, and heart arrhythmias (benign palpitations or more serious disturbances of heart rhythm.) 6 All drug interactions that can occur with caffeine would be expected to occur with chocolate as well.
Most chocolate products are high in calories, and therefore could lead to weight gain.
Interactions You Should Know About
If you are taking:
- MAO inhibitors : The caffeine in chocolate could cause dangerous drug interactions.
- Stimulant drugs such as Ritalin: The stimulant effects of chocolate might be amplified.
- Drugs to prevent heart arrhythmias or treat insomnia , heartburn , ulcers , or anxiety : Chocolate might interfere with their action.

The national debate about shale drilling and hydraulic facturing played out Tuesday in La Plata County Courthouse as county commissioners considered signing a memorandum of understanding with a Texas energy company that has plans to drill two exploratory shale-oil wells in the southwest part of the county.
The wells will be the countys first shale drilling.
After more than three hours of presentations and public comment, La Plata County Commissioners unanimously approved the memorandum of understanding with Swift Energy Operating LLC.
This MOU does the best this county can do right now to protect the interests of the people who live in the area, to try to minimize the impacts on you and also allow energy development to go forward, Commissioner Julie Westendorff said.
With the agreement, Swift will go forward to the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission with applications for two exploratory drilling and spacing units. The target is the Mancos Shale, a shale play that stretches across northwestern New Mexico and into Southwest Colorado and is thought to be rich in oil and natural gas.
The memorandum puts several requirements on Swifts drilling operations, including emissions controls, water-sampling standards and well-pad sharing mandates, that go beyond what would be required by the state.
The county has made such agreements standard practice, and already has 22 memorandums of understanding with other operators in the county. The contract commissioners considered Tuesday is unique because horizontal hydraulic fracturing techniques used to unlock oil resources from the shale will have different and more intense effects on the county roads, water resources and surface landscape.
Multistage hydraulic fracturing requires at least three times the water required to drill coal-bed methane wells, for example, and shale-oil well-pad sites are about three times larger than those of coal-bed methane wells.
In response, the county added several components to the Swift memorandum that go above and beyond the standard contract for coal-bed methane operators. Those include groundwater sampling requirements that the COGCC adopted in January and will go into effect in May as well as a requirement that Swift do an assessment of all existing wells in the drilling units to make sure their operations wont compromise the casing or cementing of those older wells.
At least 50 county residents packed the commissioners meeting room Tuesday to hear commissioners deliberations and share opinions about Swifts project.
Many Fort Lewis Mesa residents cited concerns about the potential for fracking operations to contaminate groundwater in the area. Several people wanted more extensive water-well sampling requirements than those required by the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, which require sampling of up to four wells within one half mile from the wellhead.
Im concerned the MOU is not enough, resident Jessica Copp said. We all deserve testing before, during and after (drilling) and probably at a larger distance from the well bore and the lateral.
Swift will drill down 2,500 feet then extend its wells laterally for up to 3,000 feet said Bob Redweik, Swifts corporate manager of health, safety and environment.
Copp and others also brought up the issue of truck traffic along the county roads and the potential for trucks to interfere with school buses, for example.
Swift likely will haul water, crude oil, fracking chemicals and produced water to and from the well sites, Redweik said. The company estimates the wells daily oil production will fill two 130-barrel capacity trucks, he said.
Other residents cited concerns about the risks fracking chemicals may pose to human health and the ecological effects of air pollution from drilling.
Swift also had its supporters who encouraged the county to approve the memorandum of understanding. Holding up drilling impedes on private property rights and hinders legal private contracts, said Mae Morley, a landowner who owns both land and mineral rights within the proposed drilling unit.
If Swifts unit applications are approved at the state level, the company said it hopes to apply for a drilling permit in April and move a rig into the area this summer.
The Mancos Shale has edged more and more into the spotlight over the last three years, and the play was at the center of a two-day conference this week that drew about 500 people from around the nation to Farmington. However, most drilling into the shale has been done in the southern part of the San Juan Basin.
The prospects for oil in the northern part of the basin are still unknown, Redweik said.
Were trying to prove up something that hasnt been done before, he said.

Cancer is a disease in which cells grow in an abnormal way. Normally, the cells divide in a controlled manner to replace old or damaged cells. If cells keep dividing when new cells are not needed, a mass of tissue called a tumor forms.
A tumor can be benign or malignant. A benign tumor is not cancer and will not spread to other parts of the body. A malignant tumor is cancer. Cancer cells invade and damage tissue around them. They can also enter the lymph and blood streams, spreading to other parts of the body. Cervical cancer is the development of malignant cells in the cervix.
Normal Anatomy and the Development of Cervical Cancer
The cervix is a canal that connects the lower part of the uterus to the upper part of the vagina. The canal allows for menstrual blood to flow out of the body. When a woman is pregnant, the cervix helps to keep the fetus inside the uterus until labor and delivery. During labor, the cervix flattens and opens, allowing the fetus to pass into the birth canal.
Normal cells divide and grow to replace old or damaged cells. If the cells are altered, they divide in an abnormal way and behave as a cancer. It is not always known what triggers cells to produce cancerous cells, but almost all cases of cervical cancer are associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Persistent HPV infection causes irritation and inflammation, disrupting the normal cell structure. Eventually, this can lead to abnormal growth. HPV is very common, but not all HPV infection will turn into cervical cancer. Cervical cancer can also develop without the presence of HPV.
Cervical cancer can cause abnormal bleeding. If cancer spreads beyond the cervix, it can penetrate nearby structures, such as the vagina, uterus, rectum, and urinary tract, and interfere with their normal function. Cancer can also spread to lymph nodes or blood vessels, which can carry cancer cells to other areas of the body. The growth of cervical cancer in other areas of body is called metastatic cancer. The most common sites for metastatic cervical cancer are the bones, liver, and lungs.
Types of Cervical Cancer
There are 2 main types of cervical cancer that make up the majority of cervical cancers:
- Squamous cell—Arise from the cells on the outermost portion of the cervix that connects with the vagina. This type accounts for over 80% of all cervical cancers.
- Adenocarcinoma—Arise from the glandular cells that are found on the inner lining of the cervical canal. This type accounts for up to 15% of all cervical cancers.

Love it! Looking forward to seeing your Thanksgiving decor!ReplyDelete
Great tutorial! I was actually planning on putting up planking in the nook in our basement tomorrow. I wasn't planning on painting the drywall behind first, but I'm glad you said you did. Now I can avoid that mistake.ReplyDelete
Your kitchen is looking great! I can't wait to see more!
that looks fantastic Shelley...what a great idea using ply cut down into 'planks' - so much cheaper than buying planks, love it!ReplyDelete
xx Karen
As with everything else you do...love it!ReplyDelete
Looks awesome!! With us living in military housing, I am so jealous, because I'm not able to do wall treatments like this. I however AM about to make your Ballard Design shelves for my daughter's room. Yay! (:ReplyDeleteReplies
For a removable option, I wonder if you could nail planks onto a piece of plywood and then nail the whole thing to the wall...you could do it in sections, then it could be taken down when you move and you could take it with you. Just a thought. :)Delete
I looks AWESOME!!!!!!!!ReplyDelete
It looks awesome! I def don't right now lololReplyDelete
Also, love the comment "clean freak dorks" You guys crack me up! SO CUTE :)
Beautiful! I love it! I can appreciate all the hard work to put it in...that is why it won't happen at my house. :) It really is fabulous!!!ReplyDelete
This looks absolutely amazing! I love that you did this and I can't believe how affordable it was! We're considering a similar treatment on our kitchen ceiling and I can't wait to get started on it. :)ReplyDelete

It looks beautiful!ReplyDelete
I love it . I think I need to do this somewhere in my new house.ReplyDelete
Can I just share a great tip I got from a very experienced contractor...if you prime your projects that are to be painted before you fill holes you will get the very best result,most importantly wood, it prevents any shrinkage. The same holds true for stained projects , you should stain then finish coat THEN fill holes!!!
Just a little tip that I wish I had known earlier.
Y'all did such a good job! Gorgeous, and I can't wait to see how you decorate.ReplyDelete
Love, love, love your new walls. Can't wait to see the finished space!!ReplyDelete
Looks beautiful! You must feel so accomplished! It's such a good feeling to finish a project and have it turn out exactly liked you planned! Congrats!ReplyDelete
Love, love, love your new walls. Can't wait to see the finished space!!ReplyDelete

Inspiring and beautiful. Thank you for sharingReplyDelete
It looks fantastic! I love the contrast of the white walls with the dark flooring, also.ReplyDelete
What would happen if you we're to try to take this all down, like if you sold it and the next owners didn't want it? I just always worry about something like this because I'm worried it would destroy the wall.ReplyDeleteReplies
We actually thought of this (because we change our mind so much, ha!) and that's why we chose to use finishing nails, instead of any adhesive. That way if we wanted to, we could just pull the boards off, patch up a billion tiny holes and try something new!Delete
Love your blog! Beautiful!!ReplyDelete
Shelley...this looks AMAZING. I'm so jealous! It's stunning and that new light fixture makes it even better. And on top of it all, I adore that wreath ;) You guys never cease to amaze me with your eye for things. Well done, as always. Hugs, AbbeyReplyDelete
Love this so much. We did the same treatment in our entryway a couple of years ago. I have a question for you. Did you use your brush to do the cracks and then roll the faces of the boards? We had some troubles with goopy paint in the spaces despite our best efforts to avoid it. Thanks guys!!ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Renae,Delete
We actually just used a non textured roller for the planks and then if any paint got in the cracks, we used a putty knife to get it out. It went pretty fast though, because the non-textured roller doesn't hold gobs of paint that seep everywhere.

Looks beautiful! We did something similar to our powder room and get so many compliments on it.ReplyDelete
Looks great! Your space looks so much more open now, you're right! I love the contrast with your dark floors too. Fabulous job, you guys should be so proud of all of your hard work!! XoReplyDelete

Wow I absolutely love this!ReplyDelete
Oh goodness- I love this! I want to try it in my home...off to fetch the husband!ReplyDelete
Wow, it looks amazing! Now your holiday decor is really going to pop. Can't wait to see it.ReplyDelete
Looks amazing!ReplyDelete
looks great!!ReplyDelete
This is a weirdish question, but do you think it makes the ceilings look higher or lower? Or nothing different at all?
I have been thinking it might be fun to do something like this in our bedroom (which is awful right now. Awful) but our ceilings up there are LOW. I dont mean 8 ft low, I mean 6.5 feet low. Its...ugh. Its a rental...I keep reminding myself. But anyway, the landlord straight up told us she doesnt care what we do to the house, and we take very good care of it, so I really dont think she would care if we did this in a room. But do you think the horizontal lines of the planks would just emphasize the squatty little ceiling?
Also - is there an award for the most longwinded comment?Replies
I think that anything painted white looks larger, but what if you planked the walls vertically, instead of horizontally? That way you could get the same cool look, but it would draw the eye upwards!Delete
i second that... go vertical :)Delete
- AnonymousNovember 14, 2012 at 7:48 PM
That is a great idea, the horizontal lines and you could paint the ceiling pale blue seem like sky. ??Delete

I like the horizontal idea also and you could paint the ceiling a pale blue to seem like sky. ??Delete
Love Love Love this! This is what I mean by attention to those little spaces I would never think of. It changed the whole space, You rule- I will need to copy this, someday :)ReplyDelete

Lovely, as usual. You two are amazing!ReplyDelete
I love it! Someday maybe I will have a planked wall! I drool over pictures of planked walls all the time! But since we are renting my in-laws old house, I have to wait until I get my own home again. Thanks for the tutorial...I will definately keep those tips in mind. It looks awesome!ReplyDelete

I love this! I pretty much love everything you do! Also, random question not applicable to this post. What color of blue paint did you use on your pantry door?ReplyDeleteReplies
We used Crystal Aqua from Valspar :)Delete
Looks beautiful! I'm curious about a couple of things. Did your panels happen to line up perfectly spaced between your ceiling and baseboard, or was there some math trick invovled? :) Also, where did you get those beautiful covers for the outlets? Are they paintable? Thanks for sharing! Love your new kitchen progress too!ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Ashley,Delete
By some tiny miracle, our boards worked out perfectly, down to the last one, but if it were me and I had a smaller board to fit in, I would want it at the bottom, instead of the top.
We didn't worry about any math at all.
The covers were from Lowe's. They are allen + roth brand... and I'm pretty sure you could paint them if you wanted to!
Thanks! And how nice to avoid the math.Delete
Looks awesome!ReplyDelete
You two are nothing short of amazing! congrats on your 'new' room :)ReplyDelete
This looks amazing! Definitely pinning this for when/if I have a house some day.ReplyDelete
DANG girl! This looks amazing! Still really love the shelf. And the wreath? Where did you find that little gem?ReplyDeleteReplies
We found that cute wreath at Joss & Main a few weeks ago :) http://bit.ly/VyXE6eDelete
What a great project - it looks fantastic!!ReplyDelete
I love it and want to do this in my master bath. I'm almost convinced I can pull it off. I need a Cason though *wink*! Pinning!ReplyDelete
- DesireeNovember 12, 2012 at 1:46 PM
Did you have to paint each plank with a brush? How did you keep paint out of the seams of the planks? I'm getting up enough courage to do this and I want to make sure I get it right. Love it! Thanks for the inspiration.ReplyDelete
Beautiful! I adore this space!ReplyDelete
SO excited for your tutorial. The hubs and I are just about to embark on doing this to our 2 story fireplace wall! Your kitchen is looking awesome!ReplyDelete
Love love this! I've been wanting to do a wall too, but my hubby is pretty difficult to get on board with me doing house projects. PS, what did you do with your OLD dining room chandy? I've been wanting a similar one for my dining room, and I live in SL County, so didn't know if you listed it on KSL or used it elsewhere in your cutie house.ReplyDelete
Lovely!! I just love it!!!ReplyDelete
Lovin this! Did you nail the planks into the studs? Or just the drywall? Been wanting to do this treatment on my ceiling, but my "ceiling studs" run the wrong way for the direction I want to do the planks.ReplyDelete
I absolutely love the planked walls. I wanted to do this in my living room, but between the beadboard and the wainscoting I've got to draw the line somewhere! Maybe in the next house...ReplyDelete
LOVE! It looks amazing and I'm obsessed with that wreath! Can't wait to see your Thanksgiving Decor :)ReplyDelete
Love the new chandelier...where did you find that?ReplyDelete
Love it great job. I even liked it without the paint and just the natural wood for a more rustic look. I have even seen a planked wall painted different colors and stains that was awesome. I'll try to find that link and post it. Here it is. took me a sec. Different style more funky fresh. But I really liked it when I saw it. Wanted to do this in a house we were thinking of buying awhile back. http://www.designsponge.com/2011/06/before-after-salvaged-wood-wall.htmlReplyDelete
Gorgeous! My hubby is not handy AT ALL so I'd have to sweet talk my dad into a project like this! Lucky lady to have Cason assist you!ReplyDelete
love, love, love it! Your kitchen is going to look amazing when everything is all finished!!ReplyDelete
I love it, I wish I could do something like it I my house ... Maybe some day. Just wondering what you did with your old chandelier?ReplyDelete

This is a wonderful space! How thick was your plywood?ReplyDeleteReplies
It looks great. The chandy is so pretty.ReplyDelete
It looks fantastic!! Way to go :)ReplyDelete
Yes how thick was the plywood? I am thinking it would be great on my porch ceiling!! :)ReplyDelete
OMG Shelley, I want your planked walls! :) They look amazing. Such a big difference. I'm scanning our house for a wall to do as I type, while hubby slinks away and hopes I'll find something else to occupy my time. Love it. I'm so pinning you. :) Thanks for the inspiration. x JulieReplyDelete
Wow, I can't believe that it was under $100!ReplyDelete
Shazzam Shelley! Love this look so much and I spy a fancy new chandy, looking oh so chic! Excellent tutorial my friend.ReplyDelete
Lovely ... I never would have thought of using plywood cut into strips. That is brilliant. Now I will do it to my boys' room ...ReplyDelete
I absolutely love it! This looks amazing and I fell in love with Saush'a kitchen so much a few weeks back that I told my Hubby we needed to plank something in our house....we decided to start with the hallway for now to brighten it up and add a backdrop for a gallery wall. Seeing two amazing ladies complete this project gives me even more hope that we can do it too :) Thanks and again, it looks GORG-E-OUS! :)ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing all your hard work with us. I love the way that planking can turn any ordinary space and make it look so much more custom. Your walls look amazing, you have motivated me!ReplyDelete
LOVE this, Shelley! I love the nickel idea, and your step by step is SO helpful! i am planning on planking the bottom 2/3 of my daughters room and can't decide if I want to do horizontal or vertical. Excited about the inexpensive plank option!ReplyDelete
Looks great! So happy to see you kept your double shelves on the wall, I always look forward to seeing how you decorate them:)ReplyDelete
I love this! I tried to do this in my bedroom after I saw the parade of homes house you did, but I feel like the boards were way to thick. I wish I would have seen this post first because this is much more of the look I was going for. So lets say you wanted to rip all that planking out, hypothetically, is there any way to do it with out destroying your walls?ReplyDelete
Love this! What color paint did you use?ReplyDelete
I love this! What color paint did you use? Also, our ceilings are a light beige color and the area I want to do this is open to the rest of our our house. Do you think I could do a wall like this white and not have it look weird with the beige ceilings (painting the ceilings in the kitchen would mean painting the ceilings throughout the rest of the house)...ReplyDelete
Hi - I'm trying to pin this, but Pinterest is telling me it's spam! :( Don't know if it's just me if you're aware of this...ReplyDelete
Shelly! LOVE your work! Very insperational. I want to do this on a long wall, what are your thoughts on when there have to be seams? Any thoughts or ideas are greatly appriciated! Looking forward to your next project!ReplyDelete
We just finished our planked wall!!!!!!!!! Love how it turned out! Thanks so much for your tutorial! :)ReplyDelete
Thank you so much for your planked wall tutorial!!! It was exactly the inspiration that we needed. We didn't end up doing a wood planked wall yet (but we do plan on it in the near future). Instead we applied your tutorial to our ugly basement ceiling. It made a world of difference! You can check it out our ceiling here:ReplyDelete
Again, thank you, thank you, thank you for all your wonderful inspiration!!!
I really love this look. We did something very similar in my son's room. I've been thinking about doing your version in the laundry room. Thanks for sharing your tutorial. I like your wreath in the last pic! Do you mind sharing where you purchased it?ReplyDelete
Since you didn't paint the planks before you put them on the wall, can you see the unfinished edges? Or is it a small enough gap that you can't tell? I LOVE this look and am going to do it in our nursery. Great job! I love your blog.ReplyDelete
I absolutely love this. We are going to do this in our office! Thanks for the GREAT tutorial.ReplyDelete

In the middle of planking our wall using your tutorial....the finishing nails went right through the board and sunk deeply into the wall...oh boy...I guess our nail gun is either too powerful or we have the wrong size nails. Could you tell me the gauge of the nails you used? Thanks!ReplyDelete
In the middle of planking our walls using your tutorial. Our nail gun shot the nails through the boards and deep into the wall (and they are somewhere deep in the drywall, I'm sure never to be found again, haha)....either our gun is too powerful or we are using the wrong size of nail.

Would you recommend doing this on a ceiling?ReplyDelete
THis looks amazing, and when I have my own place want to do it :) Question: how much was it total for supplies? and how long did it take you? And although the wood is very thin, did it make the room seem small at all?ReplyDelete
My daughter and husband want to do this on their basement walls due to cost of drywall. The walls are studded out and insulated and covered with visqueen poly sheeting. Do you thim=nk they will see this thru the gaps or do you think they could use a penny instead? Do you think we would have issues with warping due to no drywall? Any suggestions would help! Thanks!ReplyDelete
I love this and did a similar project in my dining room. Now I want to plank another larger room but I'm torn on how to arrange the planks on the walls that are longer than 8ft. For example, I have one wall that is 9.5 feet so do I stagger the 1.5 foot pieces alternating ends on each row or do I just put them all at the one end and have one vertical seam? What do you suggest and did you have any walls that were longer than 8feet? Thanks in advanceReplyDelete
Thank you for taking the time to leave your thoughts and comments. We truly love and appreciate each one!

Agoraphobia is an anxiety disorder. It is an irrational fear of being trapped in places or situations where escape is difficult. People with agoraphobia may not be able to leave the house.
The exact cause of anxiety disorders is not known. Factors that may contribute to the development of agoraphobia include:
- Genetics
- Changes in brain chemistry or activity
- Having a nervous system that reacts excessively, even to normal stimuli
- Increased awareness of physical changes, such as increased heart rate
- Distorted thinking, which may start a cycle of fear
Agoraphobia often develops in people with panic disorders . These disorders are associated with frequent and severe panic attacks. Agoraphobia may develop when people begin to avoid certain places or situations to prevent these panic attacks.
Risk Factors
Agoraphobia is nearly twice as common in women than in men. Other factors that may increase your chances of agoraphobia:
- History of panic attacks or panic disorder
- A tendency to be nervous or anxious
- Stressful situations
- Family members with panic disorder or phobias
- History of exposure to traumatic events
- Other psychiatric disorders
Symptoms include:
- Fear of open spaces, crowds, bridges, or standing in line
- Fear of enclosed spaces, such as cars, buses, trains, or airplanes, or being in a small theater or shop
- Fear that escape may be difficult when feelings of anxiety occur
- Creation of a safe zone
- Feelings of anxiety when outside the safe zone
- Fear of being alone outside of the home
- Avoidance of situations that might cause a panic attack
- Restriction of activities outside the home
- Feeling of being safer with a trusted friend or family member
Feared situations may trigger a panic attack. Attacks start quickly and peak in about 10 minutes. A panic attack usually includes four or more of the following:
- Intense fear
- Rapid heartbeat
- Pounding or racing feeling in the chest
- Chest pain
- Shortness of breath
- Shaking
- Sweating
- Blushing
- Lightheadedness
- Hot flashes or chills
- Numbness or tingling
- Nausea
- Feeling of loss of control
- Fear of having a heart attack or dying
Agoraphobia is also commonly associated with the following conditions:
- Panic disorder
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Agoraphobia will be diagnosed by the type and duration of symptoms.
You may be asked questions about your:
- Use of alcohol, coffee, and drugs
- Mental health history
- Family's mental health history
There are no tests for agoraphobia or panic disorder. Your doctor may order heart or blood tests done to look for an underlying cause.
Treatment aims to help you overcome irrational fears and live more independently. Goals include:
- Reducing the number and severity of panic attacks
- Learning to manage panic attacks that do occur
Treatment of agoraphobia is similar to the treatment of panic disorder. Treatments may include:
Lifestyle Changes
Lifestyle changes may include:
- Regular exercise
- Getting enough sleep every night
- Relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing, meditation , and yoga
- Avoiding anxiety triggers, such as tobacco, caffeine , and drugs
- Drinking alcohol in moderation
- Awareness of stressful situations and learning how to manage it
Social Support
- Have a strong support system of family and friends
- Consider family therapy to help with understanding and coping skills
- Join a support group
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) can help to change troublesome thought patterns. It will help you learn how you can alter your actions.
Combination Therapy
The combination therapy will help you:
- Identify and change anxious thoughts
- Use relaxation techniques to decrease feelings of anxiety
- Control breathing by taking slower, deeper breaths
- Cope with physical changes associated with anxiety
- Confront feared situations
Exposure Therapy
Exposure therapy exposes you to the factor causing the fear while in a safe environment. The sessions often include repeated, detailed imagining of the traumatic experience. The therapy will help people face their fear and gain control of it while it is happening. Exposure therapy methods range anywhere from a gradual approach to the fear to complete confrontation all at once.
Exposure therapy may be done alone or in combination with other treatments.
Your doctor may prescribe medication as well as therapy. Medication options may include:
- Antidepressants, such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)
- Benzodiazepines—may cause dependence
- Other anti-anxiety medications
It is important to take all medications as instructed by the doctor.
Agoraphobia often develops as a response to panic attacks. If you have had a panic attack, instead of avoiding the place or situation, seek medical care. Early treatment for panic attacks can help prevent agoraphobia.

From About Us | GNOME:
- The GNOME Project was started in 1997 by two then university students, Miguel de Icaza and Federico Mena. Their aim: to produce a free (as in freedom) desktop environment. Since then, GNOME has grown into a hugely successful enterprise. Used by millions of people across the world, it is the most popular desktop environment for GNU/Linux and UNIX-type operating systems. The desktop has been utilised in successful, large-scale enterprise and public deployments, and the project's developer technologies are utilised in a large number of popular mobile devices.

GNOME 3 has two interfaces:
- GNOME Shell is the new standard layout using the Mutter window manager. It acts as a composite manager for the desktop, employing hardware graphics acceleration to provide effects aimed at reducing screen clutter.
- fallback mode (known as "classic mode" to some) is similar to GNOME 2, it uses gnome-panel and Metacity instead of gnome-shell/Mutter. No hardware acceleration is required to run fallback mode.
GNOME-session automatically detects if your computer is incapable of running GNOME Shell and starts fallback mode when appropriate. When you are on fallback mode you can still replace GNOME's default window manager with your preferred one.
GNOME 3 is available in the official repositories and can be installed with two groups of packages:
- gnome contains the core desktop environment and applications required for the standard GNOME experience.
- gnome-extra contains various optional tools such as a media player, a calculator, an editor and other non-critical applications that go well with the GNOME desktop. Installing this group is optional.
Note that installing only gnome-extra will not pull the whole gnome group by dependencies: if you really want everything you must explicitly install both groups.
Starting GNOME
Graphical log-in
For the best desktop integration, login manager GDM is recommended. Other login managers can be used in place of GDM. Check out the wiki article on display managers to learn how desktop environments are started.
The login manager is a limited process entrusted with duties that impact the system. The PolicyKit wiki article addresses the topic of system‑wide access control.
Starting GNOME manually
If you prefer to start GNOME manually from the console, add the following line to your
~/.xinitrc file:
exec gnome-session
After the
exec command is placed, GNOME can be launched by typing
See xinitrc for details, such as preserving the logind (and/or consolekit) session.
Using the shell
GNOME cheat sheet
The GNOME web site has a helpful GNOME Shell cheat sheet explaining task switching, keyboard use, window control, the panel, overview mode, and more.
Restarting the shell
After appearance tweaks you are often asked to restart the GNOME shell. You could log out and log back in, but it is simpler and faster to issue the following keyboard command. Restart the shell by pressing Template:Keypress + Template:Keypress then Template:Keypress then Template:Keypress
Shell crashes
Certain tweaks and/or repeated shell restarts may cause the shell to crash when a restart is attempted. In this case, you are informed about the crash and then forced to log out. Some shell changes, such as switching between GNOME Shell and fallback mode, cannot be accomplished via a keyboard restart; you must log out and log back in to effect them.
It is common sense — but worth repeating — that valuable documents should be saved (and perhaps closed) before attempting a shell restart. It is not strictly necessary; open windows and documents usually remain intact after a shell restart.
Shell freezes
Sometimes shell extensions freeze the GNOME Shell. In this case a possible strategy is to switch to another terminal via Template:Keypress through Template:Keypress, log in, and restart X by:
# pkill X
The GNOME Shell then restarts automatically.
If this doesn't work, you can try to restart your login manager. For instance, if you use GDM, try:
# systemctl restart gdm.service
Customizing GNOME appearance
Overall appearance
GNOME 3 may have "started from scratch", but like most large software projects it is assembled from parts dating to different eras. There is not one all-encompassing configuration tool. The new Systems Settings tool is a big improvement over previous control panels. System Settings is well-organized, but you may find yourself wishing for more control over system appearance.
You may be familiar with existing configuration tools: some of these still work; many will not. Some settings are not readily exposed for you to change. Indubitably, many settings will migrate to newer tools and/or become exposed as time progresses and the wider community embraces and extends the latest GNOME desktop.
A new command-line tool gsettings stores data in a binary format, unlike previous tools using XML text. A tutorial Customizing the GNOME Shell explores the power of gsettings.
GNOME tweak tool
This graphical tool customizes fonts, themes, titlebar buttons and other settings.
# pacman -S gnome-tweak-tool
GTK3 theme via settings.ini
~/.gtkrc-2.0 with GTK2+, it is possible to set a GTK3 theme via
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME is usually set to
Adwaita, the default GNOME 3 theme, is a part of gnome-themes-standard. Additional GTK3 themes can be found at Deviantart web site. For example:
[Settings] gtk-theme-name = Adwaita gtk-fallback-icon-theme = gnome # next option is applicable only if selected theme supports it gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme = true # set font name and dimension gtk-font-name = Sans 10
It is necessary to restart the GNOME shell for settings to be applied. More GTK options are found at GNOME developer documentation.
Icon theme
Using gnome-tweak-tool version 3.0.3 and later, you can place any icon theme you wish to use inside
Usefully, GNOME 3 is compatible with GNOME 2 icon themes, which means you are not stuck with the default icons. To install a new set of icons, copy your desired icon theme's directory to
~/.icons. As an example:
$ cp -R /home/user/Desktop/my_icon_theme ~/.icons
The new theme my_icon_theme is now selectable using
gnome-tweak-tool under interface.
Alternatively, you may textually select your icon theme with no need for gnome-tweak-tool. Add the GTK icon theme name to
${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/gtk-3.0/settings.ini. Please note, not to use "" as your settings would not be recognised then.
... previous lines ... gtk-icon-theme-name = my_new_icon_theme
See Nautilus.
To play back h.264 videos, you need to install gst-libav
For more information on gstreamer hardware acceleration, see Gstreamer: Hardware Acceleration.
GNOME panel
Show date in top bar
By default GNOME displays only the weekday and time in the top bar. This can be changed with the following command. Changes take effect immediately.
# gsettings set org.gnome.shell.clock show-date true
# gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface clock-show-date true
Since GNOME 3.6, the "Log Out" entry in the user menu is only shown when multiple non-root users are present in the system.
To always enable this entry, run the following command from a terminal:
# gsettings set org.gnome.shell always-show-log-out true
You can also change this in dconf-editor: Navigate to org.gnome.shell, then check the "always-show-log-out" checkbox.
Then, restart the GNOME shell:
Hiding icons in the top bar
When doing a GNOME install, some unwanted icons might appear in the panel. These icons can be removed either with GNOME shell extensions or by manually editing the GNOME panel script.
Hiding icons with shell extensions
To remove the accessibility icon, one can use the https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/112/remove-accesibility/.
The best way to use extensions is installing them from the gnome extensions web page like the one above.
Manually editing the GNOME panel script
For example, to remove the universal access icon, comment out the 'a11y' line in PANEL_ITEM_IMPLEMENTATIONS:
const PANEL_ITEM_IMPLEMENTATIONS = { 'activities': ActivitiesButton, 'appMenu': AppMenuButton, 'dateMenu': imports.ui.dateMenu.DateMenuButton, // 'a11y': imports.ui.status.accessibility.ATIndicator, 'volume': imports.ui.status.volume.Indicator, 'battery': imports.ui.status.power.Indicator, 'lockScreen': imports.ui.status.lockScreenMenu.Indicator, 'keyboard': imports.ui.status.keyboard.InputSourceIndicator, 'powerMenu': imports.gdm.powerMenu.PowerMenuButton, 'userMenu': imports.ui.userMenu.UserMenuButton };
Then, save your results and restart the shell:
Show battery icon
To show the battery tray icon, install gnome-power-manager from the official repositories.
A quick way to do it system-wide for GNOME 3.2 is to change line 539 of
/usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/userMenu.js and line 103 of
/usr/share/gnome-shell/js/gdm/powerMenu.js. (For GNOME versions prior to 3.2, look at line 153 of
/usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/statusMenu.js.) This change takes effect the next time GNOME Shell is started.
// this._haveSuspend = this._upClient.get_can_suspend(); // Comment this line out. this._haveSuspend = false; // Use this line instead.
To accomplish this, paste the following command(s) in your terminal:
GNOME_SHELL=/usr/share/gnome-shell SCRIPTS=`grep -lr get_can_suspend $GNOME_SHELL/js` for FILE in $SCRIPTS ; do sed -r -i -e 's/[^= ]+.get_can_suspend\(\)/false/' "$FILE" done
The above change does not persist after a GNOME version update, however. A more perennial solution is to add the code above in some gdm or system startup script (eg: /etc/rc.local), to keep the "suspend" option disabled after updates.
Alternatively you can install the GNOME shell extension
alternative status menu in package gnome-shell-extension-alternative-status-menu.
Eliminate delay when logging out
The following tweak removes the confirmation dialog and sixty second delay for logging out.
This dialog normally appears when you log out with the status menu. This tweak affects the Power Off dialog as well. This is not a system-wide change; it affects only the user who enters this command. The change takes effect immediately after entering the command.
$ gsettings set org.gnome.SessionManager logout-prompt 'false'
Show system monitor
Install the gnome-shell-system-monitor-applet-gitAUR extension available in the AUR.
Show weather information
Install gnome-shell-extension-weather-gitAUR from AUR.
Activity view
Remove entries from Applications view
Like other desktop environments, GNOME uses .desktop files to populate its Applications view. These text files are in
/usr/share/applications. It is not possible to edit these files from a folder view ‒ Nautilus does not treat their icons as text files. Use a terminal to display or edit .desktop file entries.
# ls /usr/share/applications # nano /usr/share/applications/foo.desktop
For system wide changes, edit files in
/usr/share/applications. For local changes, make a copy of foo.desktop in your home folder.
$ cp /usr/share/applications/foo.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/
Edit .desktop files to fit your wishes.
The following command appends one line to a .desktop file and hides its associated icon from Applications view:
$ echo "NoDisplay=true" >> foo.desktop
~/.local/share/applications/wine/Programs/ and look for the wine application's name. In the directories are the ".desktop" files which configure the launchers. Remove the program directory to easily remove the launchers.
Change application icon size
One awkward selection of the GNOME designers is their choice of large icons for Applications view. This view is painful when working with a small screen containing many large application icons. There is a way to reduce the icon size. It is done by editing the GNOME-Shell theme.
Edit system files directly (make a backup first) or copy theme files to your local folder and edit these files.
- For the default theme, edit
- For user themes, edit
Edit gnome-shell.css and replace the following values. Afterward, restart the GNOME shell.
... /* Application Launchers and Grid */ .icon-grid { spacing: 18px; -shell-grid-horizontal-item-size: 82px; -shell-grid-vertical-item-size: 82px; } .icon-grid .overview-icon { icon-size: 48px; } ...
Change dash icon size
GNOME's Activities view has a dash on the left hand side, the size of the icons in this dash will scale depending on the amount of icons set to display. The scaling can be manipulated or set to a constant icon size. To do so, edit
... let iconSizes = [ 16, 22, 24, 32, 48, 64 ]; ...
Change switcher (alt-tab) icon size
GNOME comes with a built in task switcher, the size of the icons in this task switcher will scale depending on the amount of icons set to display. The scaling can be manipulated or set to a constant icon size. To do so, edit
... const iconSizes = [96, 64, 48, 32, 22]; ...
Change system tray icon size
GNOME comes with a built in system tray, visible when the mouse is hovered over the bottom right corner of the screen. The size of the icons in this tray is set to a fixed value of 24. To change this value, edit
Disable Activity hot corner hovering
To disable automatic activity view when the hot corner is hovered, edit
/usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/layout.js (that was panel.js in GNOME 3.0.x) :
this._corner = new Clutter.Rectangle({ name: 'hot-corner', width: 1, height: 1, opacity: 0, reactive: true });icon-size: 48px; }
and set
reactive to
false. GNOME Shell needs to be restarted.
Disable Message Tray hovering
The message tray is shown when the mouse hovers at the bottom of the screen for one second. To disable this behavior, comment out the following line in
//pointerWatcher.addWatch(TRAY_DWELL_CHECK_INTERVAL, Lang.bind(this, this._checkTrayDwell));
GNOME Shell needs to be restarted. The message tray is still visible in activity view.
Remove title bar
Install Maximus GNOME shell extension.
It can also have white list / black list of application.
This extension requires xorg-xprop, install it if you don't have it already.
pacman -S xorg-xprop
More about GNOME shell extensions.
Reduce title bar height
- global - edit
/usr/share/themes/Adwaita/metacity-1/metacity-theme-3.xml, search for
title_vertical_padand and reduce its value to a minimum of
- user-only - copy
/home/$USER/.themes/Adwaita/metacity-1/metacity-theme-3.xml, search for
title_vertical_padand reduce its value to a minimum of
To restore the original values, install the package gnome-themes-standard from the official repositories or remove
At present this setting can be changed through dconf-editor.
For example, we move the close and minimize buttons to the left side of the titlebar. Open dconf-editor and locate the org.gnome.shell.overrides.button_layout key. Change its value to
close,minimize: (Colon symbol designates the spacer between left side and right side of the titlebar.) Use whichever buttons in whatever order you prefer. You cannot use a button more than once. Also, keep in mind that certain buttons are deprecated. Restart the shell to see your new button arrangement.
Hide titlebar when maximized
# sed -i -r 's|(<frame_geometry name="max")|\1 has_title="false"|' /usr/share/themes/Adwaita/metacity-1/metacity-theme-3.xml
Restart the GNOME shell. After this tweak, you may find it difficult to un-maximize a window when there is no titlebar to grab.
With suitable keybindings, you should be able to use Template:Keypress, Template:Keypress or Template:Keypress to remedy the situation.
To prevent
metacity-theme-3.xml from being overwritten each time package gnome-themes-standard is upgraded, add its name to
/etc/pacman.conf with
... previous lines ... # Pacman won't upgrade packages listed in IgnorePkg and members of IgnoreGroup # IgnorePkg = # IgnoreGroup = NoUpgrade = usr/share/themes/Adwaita/metacity-1/metacity-theme-3.xml # Do not add a leading slash to the path ... more lines ...
To restore original Adwaita theme values, install the gnome-themes-standard package.
Login screen
To modify characteristics of the login screen (GDM, the GNOME display manager) the following lines can be executed. The first command allows all users, including "gdm", to access X settings (albeit temporarily). This command creates a temporary vulnerability, so be advised. The second command opens a bash session with the credentials of user "gdm".
# xhost + # su - gdm -s /bin/bash $ dbus-launch
The third command prints DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS and DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID. We must export these variables. Either manually export the below two variables shown in the output of dbus-launch like this:
$ export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-Jb433gMQHS,guid=fc14d4bf3d000e38276a5a2200000d38 $ export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID=4283
Or use the follow command:
$ `dbus-launch | sed "s/^/export /"`
Check to see if dconf-service is running and if not, start it like this
$ /usr/lib/dconf/dconf-service &
Login background image
Once session variables have been exported as explained above, you may issue commands to retrieve or set items used by GDM.
The easiest way to changes all the settings is by launching the Configuration Editor gui with the command
$ dconf-editor
The location of each setting is the same as in the command line style of configuration shown below:
The following is the command-line approach to retrieve or set the file name used for GDM's wallpaper.
$ GSETTINGS_BACKEND=dconf gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri $ GSETTINGS_BACKEND=dconf gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri 'file:///usr/share/backgrounds/gnome/SundownDunes.jpg' $ GSETTINGS_BACKEND=dconf gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-options 'zoom' ## Possible values: centered, none, scaled, spanned, stretched, wallpaper, zoom
An alternative graphical interface to changing themes (gtk3, icons and cursor), the wallpaper and minor other settings of the GDM login screen, you can install gdm3setupAUR from AUR.
Larger font for login
This tweak enlarges the login font with a scaling factor. It is the same method employed by Accessibility Manager on the desktop.
You must export the GDM session variables before performing this tweak.
$ GSETTINGS_BACKEND=dconf gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor '1.25'
Turning off the sound
This tweak disables the audible feedback heard when the system volume is adjusted (via keyboard) on the login screen. You must first export the GDM session variables.
$ GSETTINGS_BACKEND=dconf gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.sound event-sounds 'false'
If the above tweak does not work for you or you are unable to export the GDM session variables, there is always the easiest solution to the "ready sound" problem: mute or lower the sound while in GDM login screen using the media keys (if available) of your keyboard.
The default installation sets the power button to suspend the system. Power off or Show dialog is a better choice. You must first export the GDM session variables as outlined previously.
$ GSETTINGS_BACKEND=dconf gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power button-power 'interactive' $ GSETTINGS_BACKEND=dconf gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power button-hibernate 'interactive' $ gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power
Prevent suspend when closing the lid
On some systems it happens that your laptop suspends when you are closing the lid despite having set the options Laptop lid close action on battery and Laptop lid close action on AC to blank. If this is the case, append the following line to
GDM keyboard layout
GDM does not know about your GNOME 3 desktop keyboard settings. To change keyboard settings used by GDM, set your layout using Xorg configuration. Refer to this section of the Beginner's Guide.
Other tips
See GNOME Tips.
Miscellaneous settings
Automatic program launch upon logging in
Specify which programs start automatically after logging in using
gnome-session-properties. This tool is part of the gnome-session package.
$ gnome-session-properties
gnome-menus provides gmenu-simple-editor which can show/hide menu entries.
alacarte provides a more complete menu editor for adding/editing menu entries.
Some 'System Settings' not preserved
GNOME 3 is using systemd (an init daemon for Linux) with more modern capabilities. Previously GNOME programs were altered to use Arch's init functionalities to gather settings but either the maintenance required to do this or possibly this is because of a transitioning to the new init system (read more about this here). Areas that settings will not be preserved are Date and Time and adding ICC profiles in the Color menu and possibly others.
To gain the functionality back, systemd needs to be installed and the gdm.service and NetworkManager.service services need to be enabled.
Disable sound effects in Terminal
By default the terminal has these annoying sound effects when e.g. pushing the tab button on your keyboard. One solution is to turn off or mute all sound effects in the settings menu of Gnome. However, this will also turn off notification sounds in other application such as Skype. A better solution is to open a terminal, go to Edit -> Profile Preferences -> General and untick Terminal bell.
Move dialog windows
The default configuration for dialogs will not allow you to move them which causes problems in some cases. To change this you will need to use gconf-editor and change this setting:
After the change you will need to restart the shell for it to take affect.
GNOME shell extensions
GNOME Shell can be customized with extensions. These provide features such as a dock or a widget for changing the theme.
Many extensions are collected and hosted by extensions.gnome.org. They can be browsed and installed simply activating them in the browser. More information about gnome shell extensions can be found here.
See when an extension breaks GNOME for troubleshooting information.
Default file browser/replace Nautilus
You can trick GNOME into using another file browser by editing the
Exec line in
/usr/share/applications/nautilus.desktop. See the correct parameters in the
.desktop file of the file manager of your choice, e.g.:
[...] Exec=thunar %F OR Exec=pcmanfm %U OR Exec=nemo %U [...]
Default PDF viewer
In some cases when you have installed Inkscape or other graphic programs Evince Document Viewer might no longer be selected as the default PDF application. If it is not available in the Open With entry which would be the GUI solution, you can use the following user command to make it the default application again.
xdg-mime default evince.desktop application/pdf
Default terminal
gsettings (which replaces
gconftool-2) is used to set the default terminal. The setting affects nautilus-open-terminal (a Nautilus extension).
To make urxvt the default, run:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.terminal exec urxvtc gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.terminal exec-arg "'-e'"
-e flag is for executing a command. When nautilus-open-terminal invokes
urxvtc, it puts a
cd command at the end of the command line so that the new terminal starts in the directory you opened it from. Other terminals will require a different (perhaps empty)
By default, GNOME 3 disables middle mouse button emulation regardless of Xorg settings (Emulate3Buttons). To enable middle mouse button emulation use:
$ gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.mouse middle-button-enabled true
Display dimming
By default GNOME 3 has a ten second idle timeout to dim the screen regardless of the battery and AC state:
gsettings get org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power idle-dim-time
To set a new value type the following
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power idle-dim-time <int>
where <int> is the value in seconds
Alternate window manager
You can use an alternate window manager with GNOME by forcing fallback mode and creating two files:
[GNOME Session] Name=Xmonad session RequiredComponents=gnome-panel;gnome-settings-daemon; RequiredProviders=windowmanager;notifications; DefaultProvider-windowmanager=xmonad DefaultProvider-notifications=notification-daemon
[Desktop Entry] Name=Xmonad GNOME Comment=Tiling window manager TryExec=/usr/bin/gnome-session Exec=gnome-session --session=xmonad Type=XSession
The next time you log in, you should have the ability to choose Xmonad GNOME as your session.
If there isn't a .desktop file for the window manager, you'll need to create one. Example for wmii:
[Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Type=Application Name=wmii TryExec=wmii Exec=wmii
For more information, see this article on running awesome as the window manager in GNOME.
Hidden features
GNOME 3 hides many useful options which you can customize with dconf-editor. GNOME 3 also supports gconf-editor for settings that have not yet migrated to dconf.
Changing hotkeys
It is possible to manually change the keys via an application's so-called accel map file. Where it is to be found is up to the application: For instance, Thunar's is at ~/.config/Thunar/accels.scm, whereas Nautilus's is located at ~/.config/nautilus/accels and ~/.gnome2/accels/nautilus on old release.
The file should contain a list of possible hotkeys, each unchanged line commented out with a leading ";" that has to be removed for a change to become active. For example to replace the hotkey used by Nautilus to move files to the trash folder, change the line :
; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/DirViewActions/Trash" "<Primary>Delete")
to this :
(gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/DirViewActions/Trash" "Delete")
The file is regenerate regularly so don't waist time on commenting the file. The uncommented line will stay but every comment you may add will be lost.
Nautilus 3.4 and older
Firstly, use dconf-editor to place a checkmark next to
can-change-accels in the key named org.gnome.desktop.interface.
We will replace the hotkey — a.k.a. keyboard shortcut, keyboard accelerator — used by Nautilus to move files to the trash folder. The default assignment is a somewhat-awkward Template:Keypress.
- Open Nautilus, select any file, and click Edit on the menu bar.
- Hover over the Move to Trash menu item.
- While hovering, press Template:Keypress. The current accelerator is now unset.
- Press the key that you wish to become the new keyboard accelerator.
- Press Template:Keypress to make the new accelerator be the Delete key.
Unless you select a file or folder, Move to Trash will be grayed-out. Finally, disable
can-change-accels to prevent accidental hotkey changes.
Currently, the GNOME designers have hidden the Shutdown option inside the status menu. To shut down your system with the status menu, click the menu and hold down the Template:Keypress key so that the Suspend item changes to Power Off. The subsequent dialog allows you to shut down or restart your system.
If you disable the Suspend menu item system-wide as described elsewhere in this document you do not have to go through these motions.
Another option is to install the Alternative Status Menu extension. See the section on shell extensions. The alternative menu extension installs a new status menu with a non-hidden Power Off entry.
Modify Keyboard with XkbOptions
Using the dconf-editor, navigate to the key named org.gnome.desktop.input-sources.xkb-options and add desired XkbOptions (e.g. 'caps:swapescape') to the list.
See /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg for all XkbOptions and then /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/* for the respective descriptions.
Toggle keyboard layouts
Since Gnome does not consider any configuration in
/etc/X11/conf.d/*.conf you have to set the command for layout switching either via the control center with the options Switch to previous source and Switch to next source or if you want to use Alt - Shift combination you have to use the Gnome-Tweak-Tool and set Typing -> Modifiers-only input sources -> select Alt-shift. For more information see also the forum thread.
Integrated messaging (Empathy)
Empathy, the engine behind integrated messaging, and all system settings based on messaging accounts will not show up unless the telepathy group of packages or at least one of the backends (telepathy-gabble, or telepathy-haze, for example) is installed.
These packages are not included in default Arch GNOME installs. You can install the Telepathy and optionally any backends with:
# pacman -S telepathy
Without telepathy, Empathy will not open the account management dialog and can get stuck in this state. If this happens -- even after quitting Empathy cleanly -- the
/usr/bin/empathy-accounts application can remain running and will need to be killed before you can add any new accounts.
View descriptions of telepathy components on the Freedesktop.org Telepathy Wiki.
Forcing fallback mode
Your session automatically starts in fallback mode when gnome-shell is not present, or when your hardware cannot handle graphics acceleration — such as running within a virtual machine or running on old hardware.
If you wish to enable fallback mode while still having gnome-shell installed, make the following system change:
Go to System Settings (
gnome-control-center) -> Details -> Graphics and set Forced Fallback Mode to
You can alternatively choose the type of session from a terminal with
$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.session session-name gnome-fallback
You may want to log out after making the change. You will see the chosen type of session upon your next login.
To disable the forced-fallback mode change it back to
When an extension breaks GNOME
When enabling shell extensions causes GNOME breakage, you should first remove the user-theme and auto-move-windows extensions from their installation directory.
The installation directory could be one of
/usr/share/gnome‑shell/extensions, or
/usr/local/share/gnome‑shell/extensions. Removing these two extension-containing folders may fix the breakage. Otherwise, isolate the problem extension with trial‑and‑error.
Removing or adding an extension-containing folder to the aforementioned directories removes or adds the corresponding extension to your system. Details on GNOME Shell extensions are available at the GNOME web site.
Extensions do not work after GNOME 3 update
Locate the folder where your extensions are installed. It might be
~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions or
Edit each occurrence of
metadata.json which appears in each extension sub-folder.
"shell-version": ["3.6"]
|Instead of (for example):
"shell-version": ["3.4"]
"3.x" indicates the extension works with every Shell version. If it breaks, you'll know to change it back.
The "Windows" key
By default, this key is mapped to the "overlay-key" to launch the Overview. You can remove this key mapping to free up your
Windows Key (also called
Mod4), which GNOME calls
Super_L, by utilizing
gsettings set org.gnome.mutter overlay-key 'Foo';.
You can leave out Foo to simply remove any binding to that function.
Alt+F1 to launch the Overview.
Keyboard Shortcut do not work with only conky running
The gnome-shell keyboard shortcuts like Template:Keypress, Template:Keypress, and the media key shortcuts do not work if conky is the only program running. However if another application like gedit is running, then the keyboard shortcuts work.
solution: edit .conkyrc
own_window yes own_window_transparent yes own_window_argb_visual yes own_window_type dock own_window_class Conky own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager
xf86-video-ati driver: flickers from time to time
If you use that driver, your desktop might flicker a lot when you hover the bottom right corner, and also when you start up gdm.
Write the following in your
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-radeon.conf and see if it works then:
Section "Device" Identifier "Radeon" Driver "radeon" Option "EnablePageFlip" "off" EndSection
Window opens behind other windows when using multiple monitors
This is possibly a bug in GNOME Shell which causes new windows to open behind others. Unchecking "workspaces_only_on_primary" in desktop/gnome/shell/windows using gconf-editor solves this problem.
Multiple monitors and dock extension
If you have multiple monitors configured using Nvidia Twinview, the dock extension may get sandwiched in-between the monitors. You can edit the source of this extension to reposition the dock to a position of your choosing.
/firstname.lastname@example.com/extension.js and locate this line in the source:
this.actor.set_position(primary.width-this._item_size-this._spacing-2, (primary.height-height)/2);
The first parameter is the X position of the dock display, by subtracting 15 pixels as opposed to 2 pixels from this it correctly positioned on my primary monitor, you can play around with any X,Y coordinate pair to position it correctly.
this.actor.set_position(primary.width-this._item_size-this._spacing-15, (primary.height-height)/2);
No event sounds for Empathy and other programs
If you are using OSS, you may want to install libcanberra-ossAUR from the AUR.
Gnome sets the keyboard layout to USA after every log in
See the [this] bug report for more information. It is related to GDM and can be fixed by choosing the correct layout at GDM login startup. However, users who do not use GDM or any login manager but a pure startx approach have to use a workaround. Create the file
~/.keyboard and make it executable
chmod +x:
# Set the correct keyboard layout after Gnome start setxkbmap -layout "us,pl" -variant altgr-intl -option "grp:alt_shift_toggle" nodeadkeys
Now run
gnome-session-properties and add this .keyboard file to the programs run at startup:
Name: Keyboard layout Command: /home/username/.keyboard Comment: Sets the correct keyboard layout after Gnome start
Further you need to create the executable file
/etc/pm/sleep.d/90_keyboard with the following content in order to run the script on resume from suspend and hibernation.
#!/bin/bash case $1 in resume|thaw) /home/username/.keyboard ;; esac
Panels do not respond to right-click in fallback mode
Check Configuration Editor: /apps/metacity/general/mouse_button_modifier. This modifier key (Template:Keypress, Template:Keypress, etc) used for normal windows is also used by panels and their applets.
"Show Desktop" keyboard shortcut does not work
GNOME developers treated the corresponding binding as bug (see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=643609) due to Minimization being deprecated. To show the desktop again assign ALT+STRG+D to the following setting:
System Settings --> Keyboard --> Shortcuts --> Navigation --> Hide all normal windows
Nautilus does not start
- Press Template:Keypress
- Enter
- Select the File Manager tab.
- Locate option Have file manager handle the desktop and assure it is toggled off.
Epiphany does not play Flash videos
Adobe Flash Player is buggy and does not work directly in Epiphany. See Epiphany#Flash for a workaround involving nspluginwrapper.
Unable to apply stored configuration for monitors
If you encounter this message try to disable the xrandr gnome-settings-daemon plugin :
$ dconf write /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/xrandr/active false
Some laptops have a touchpad lock button that disables the touchpad so that users can type without worrying about touching the touchpad. It appears currently that although GNOME can lock the touchpad by pressing this button, it cannot unlock it. If the touchpad gets locked you can do the following to unlock it.
- Start a terminal. You can do this by pressing Template:Keypress, then typing
gnome-terminalfollowed by pressing Template:Keypress.
- Type in the following command
$ xinput set-prop "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" "Device Enabled" 1
Unable to connect to secured Wi-Fi networks
You can see the network connections listing, but choosing an encrypted network fails to show a dialog for key entry. You may need to install network-manager-applet. See GNOME NetworkManager setup.
"Any command has been defined 33"
When you press the Template:Keypress key (sometimes labeled Template:Keypress or Template:Keypress) to take a screenshot, and you got "Any command has been defined 33", install metacity.
GDM and GNOME use X11 cursors
To fix this issue, become root and put the following into
/usr/share/icons/default/index.theme (creating the directory
/usr/share/icons/default if necessary):
[Icon Theme] Inherits=Adwaita
Note: Instead of "Adwaita", you can choose another cursor theme (e.g. Human). Alternatively, you can install gnome-cursors-fixAUR from the AUR.
Tracker & Documents don't list any local files
In order for Tracker (and, therefore, Documents) to detect your local files, they must be stored in directories that it knows of. If your documents are contained in one of the usual XDG standard directories (i.e. "Documents" or "Music"), you should install xdg-user-dirs and run:
# xdg-user-dirs-update
This will create all of the usual XDG home directories if they don't already exist and it will create the config file definining these directories that Tracker and Documents depend upon.
Passwords are not remembered
If you get a password prompt every time you login, and you find password are not saved, you might need to create/set a default keyring:
$ pacman -S seahorse
Open "Passwords and Keys" from the menu or run "seahorse". Select View > By Keyring. If there is no keyring in the left column (it will be marked with a lock icon), go to File > New > Password Keyring and give it a nice name. You will be asked to enter a password. If you do not give it a password it will be unlocked automatically even when using autologin, but passwords will not be stored securely. Finally, right-click on the keyring you just created and select "Set as default".
Windows can't be modified with Alt-Key + Mouse-Button
Change the dconf-setting "org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences.mouse-button-modifier" from <Super> back to <Alt>. It is not possible to change this with System Settings > "Keyboard" > "Shortcuts", you will find there only the regular keybindings. The developers of GNOME decided to change this from 3.4 to 3.6 because of this bug report https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=607797
