Contacts App updated with enhanced avatar support
================================================================================
The fresh new next-generation applications of the next-generation Ubuntu are being gradually erected and solidified via a multiple-sided approach, including a set of core applications created by third-party developers mixed with Ubuntu coders and Ubuntu designers, as well as more official applications created by Ubuntu developers and Ubuntu designers.
As part of the latter, there is Contacts App, too, handy useful application gathering contact-management capabilities into a beautiful interface, where multiple editable fields, fast scroll-through and listed items provide an interesting contact-related application (work in progress).
[Contacts App][1] has been updated to another feature-adding release, pushing forward its [recently-introduced][2] functionalities, namely, the avatar support for contacts.
In its previous releases, Contacts App introduced support for avatars selected by the user via Content Hub, feature enriched now with image-display support on the **main view**.
Meaning, clicking on a contact, hitting the bottom-bar's `Edit` button and adding an image (the actual avatar) via the monochrome icon, adds the image after the `Save` button is clicked; navigating now to the main view, the user is to notice the previously-added avatar on the main view, replacing the monochrome generic icon with the added image.

Moreover, the avatar is rendered with round corners beautifying the contacts, round thumbnails generated even if the user selects,--as avatar--, a regular non-square image.
Furthermore, clicking on the avatar-enabled contact, opens the contact, where the user is to observe the retained image, replacing the now-old generic preview image.

Contacts App is [available][3] for installation/testing via Ubuntu 13.10's Ubuntu Software Center.

GTK3-based Twitter App Corebird In Development
================================================================================
Corebird is a Twitter app with an interface reminiscent of Twitters [official app](https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/twitter/id409789998?mt=12%27) for OS X.
![](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Screen-Shot-2013-10-11-at-16.46.53.png)
Corebird written by an Arch user has a look and feature set with GNOME 3.10 in mind.
The interface uses GTK3, so itll feel right at home alongside your other GTK-based apps. Corebird makes full use of the new Header Bars that we highlighted in [our top features][2] from the latest GNOME 3.10 release. The header shows your Twitter handle, avatar, and a button to quickly compose a new tweet, consolidating what mightve been a separate toolbar into a single, compact header.
Though the interface may be tuned for GNOME 3.10, the features packed into the app are bound to make friends amongst Twitter addicts using GNOME or otherwise.
## Features ##
Corebird resembles, in some ways, the official Twitter app for Mac (and thats a good thing!) and has the feature set to show for it. Retweet, favourite, follow, search, profile view, conversations, media uploads, and a number of other features are all in working order.
If you manage several accounts, multi-account setups are also supported, though be aware that the latest builds remove configured accounts when you close and reopen the app.

*A Corebird notification on the GNOME lock screen.*
Corebird also makes use of notifications on the GNOME lockscreen, displaying the number of Twitter notifications when you make your way back to your computer.
![](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/corebird_dark.png)
The app comes with both light and dark themes, making it easier on your eyes when Twittering at night. A handful of other settings, including which notifications to display and a toggle for showing inline media, are also available in the compact settings dialog.
## How to Get Corebird ##
If youre still using 13.04, you might be out of luck. Corebird uses new features from GNOME 3.10 that most likely wont make their way to Ubuntu 13.04. If youve upgraded to 13.10 ahead of its release next week, GNOME 3.10 is already available for Saucy in the sundry GNOME 3 PPAs.
Corebird is still in development and a PPA hasnt been made available (though it is currently in the [Arch User Repository][3] if any Arch users have wandered in), so youll need to build Corebird by hand.
The project is a promising sign given the number of other Linux Twitter apps thatve seen their development slow down e.g., Birdie which failed to reach its [crowdfunding goal][5] earlier this summer.
And if Corebird isnt your cup of tea, check out [gFeedline][6]), another GTK3-based Twitter app.

Ubuntu developers announced Oxide, Chromium-powered library to be used in Ubuntu Touch's web-browser and Ubuntu SDK by Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
================================================================================
By installing Ubuntu, 30 million users from all over the world get an immediately-usable and powerful operating system, as well as security and maintenance support specific to the installed version of Ubuntu (LTS or standard).
As a consequence, the developers are developing Ubuntu with multiple scenarios, necessities and requirements in mind, among which ability to provide the latest technology trends to the users, security, speed and an overall optimal experience, bundle of goals achieved with carefully-selected libraries, default applications and sane means of consuming content.
The developers have [announced][1] **Oxide**, essentially, a library permitting the embedding of **Chromium-powered** webviews in applications, Oxide deeply managed by Ubuntu, in order to provide the best web-related experience both in the now and in the upcoming years.
"**Oxide is a library that allows you to embed a Chromium-powered webview in QML applications**. It currently provides a fairly trivial API that is quite similar to the current QML QtWebkit webview API for simple use cases, although it is nowhere near feature complete yet".
Oxide is based on the open-source web-browser Chromium, yet, providing the exact set of features required by Ubuntu, Oxide that is to fit perfectly in Ubuntu's upcoming converged experience.
At the moment, Oxide features:
- back, forward and reload actions
- load URLs
- multiple webviews support
- user scripts
essentially, an in-progress yet relevant pack of capabilities.
Yet, Oxide stands on interesting to-be-achieved goals, such as:
- accelerated compositing
- solid navigation
- dialog support (authentication, alert, confirm, prompt)
![](http://iloveubuntu.net/pictures_me/oxide%20ubuntu.png)
As the official **goal**, Oxide is to be used by Ubuntu Touch's web-browser and Ubuntu SDK in **Ubuntu 14.04 LTS**, Ubuntu version that is to be supported for five years.
Oxide is not a mere concept, but real code with already-available capabilities, interested developers and users can digest its code on [https://launchpad.net/oxide][2]
"**If you want to [help out][3] with this**, feel free to grab me on IRC Ive got plenty of work I can hand out".

iLinux Is the Largest Collection of Custom Icons on the Linux Platform
================================================================================
**iLinux Icons is probably the largest collection of icons on the Linux platforms and it takes its inspiration from Linux, Windows, and Mac OS systems.**
![](http://i1-news.softpedia-static.com/images/news2/iLinux-Is-the-Largest-Collection-of-Custom-Icons-on-the-Linux-Platform-390519-2.png)
There are very few quality icon packs available on the Linux platform, even if there are literally hundreds of different packages available.
The developers of iLinux Icons have managed to get icons that resemble (and even surpass in some cases) those on three different platforms: Ubuntu, Windows, and Mac OS.
The installation is very simple and can be done with the help of a simple PPA. Just enter the following commands in terminal:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:noobslab/icons2
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ilinux-icons
You will also need Ubuntu Tweak or GNOME Tweak tool in order to apply the icons. You can also check the official [website](http://haniahmed.deviantart.com/art/iLinux-icons-v-8-5-354470161) of the developers for more details.
