Avatar Factory

Avatar factory is a nifty little cript that takes your album art from your music and makes what looks like real CD covers, or record covers.....yea what are records.......Anywho what it does is create what the maker of this script calls avatars or icons that look like CD covers, then when you click on CD cover it starts playing that Album in your music player. This creates some really cool looking icons:


Now as was pointed out on the Awn forum this is super cool when used with stacks, on Awn!! Unfortunately when I choose to take a screen shot stacks always closes....SO you will have to try this if you want.....actually just had an idea I can take a video of it then:



Now if you interested in using Avatar Factor go check out the Ubuntu Forum post here, it is very detailed and helpful.

Off-topic: you can always make (and delay) screenshots using the terminal command 'scrot -cd5 blablabla.jpg'. Here, a screenshot (blablabla.jpg -- can also be a .png) will be taken (and stored in your Home folder) in 5 seconds: more than enough time to minimize your terminal client and open stacks ;)

ooo nifty, I will be trying this out soon. Thanks for the great tip!
Just testing. :)
Oh, btw, "gnome-screenshot --interactive" has the added bonus of not showing up in your window list.
