The atareao-team ppa ( Install on your own risk ) got some neat indicators for Ubuntu:
# add-apt-repository ppa:atareao/atareao # apt-get update # apt-get install calendar-indicator # apt-get install my-weather-indicator
The FFmpeg plugin for GStreamer 0.10 is not available in the official Ubuntu 14.04 repositories (because FFMpeg is not available either – libav is used instead) and because of this, Firefox doesn’t support the H.264 codec.
The mc3man trusty-media ppa fix this for you ( Install on your own risk ) .
# add-apt-repository ppa:mc3man/trusty-media # apt-get update # apt-get install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg
You can check you H.264 support at http://www.youtube.com.html5
If you use skype (which is 32bit) and are on 64bit, install these packages to enable support for your default desktop theme as well as enable the skype tray icon
# apt-get install gtk2-engines-murrine:i386 sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-pixbuf:i386 sni-qt:i386
Latest chromium-browser have removed flash support, the pepper-flash-plugin enable flash :
# pepperflashplugin-nonfree
I mostly ripped off these customizations from webupd8.org .
