Customizing a GTK theme can be frustrating, especially with both GTK2 and GTK3 themes lying there. And why go through all the hassle when you want to change just few things. You no more have to! I've made a GTK theme configuration tool that allows anyone to change some basic elements of a GTK theme easily (both GTK2 and GTK3) with a simple interface.
Recent development on Fedora Utils
Fedora Utils is a project to make using Fedora easier. It has evolved from being just a simple post-install script to a tweaking utility with a plugin system. While the project haven't gained much attention, the attention it received is enough to keep me developing it. All the recent development is for making development easier. The new plugin system was written from scratch in the aim of keeping Fedora Utils modular and make plugin development much easier, available for testing from the experimental branch. It needs some testing though.
Building a binary for GTK3 theme
We discussed some aspects of making a GTK3 theme in my previous post, and may be we shall do more. In this post, I'll try to explain how to create a binary for your GTK3 theme.
Creating a binary bundle for your GTK3 theme can be useful. It will reduce the I/O error and file system checks as the the resources will already be in the memory. This means loading the resources will be more efficient. I really cannot say the impact on performance, but it is easy to do and makes no harm if you do.

When you make a GTK3 theme...
GTK themes in Gnome 3 follow a new syntax that is different from GTK2. The new CSS syntax in GTK3 makes it easier to make themes. Though it is easy to understand the CSS syntax than the old gtkrc syntax, it is not enough to know just CSS. GTK themes are more than that. A good start can be this tutorial and specifically this.
I will try to explain in brief what I have learnt about GTK3 theming. It might not be perfect, but I think it can do a little help.

Make your 3G modem work in Linux
Making your new 3G modem work on Linux can be sometimes quite troublesome. All vendors provide software to make the modem work on Windows, but few support Linux. But you can make your modem work in Linux with few steps, though not as easy as in Windows, it is not that much difficult. I've tested this on Ubuntu 12.04 with a Micromax 3G modem.
