28 March 2009 is the a day of symbolic election between Earth and Global Warming. The idea is that everyone switches off the lights for one hour in the evening to show their concern about the ever changing climate and how what we can do about it.
I will support it.

I have been using Planner for my TU874 development management project and it has been a great tool. I have had however hard time with the toolbar as the most important buttons do not fit on the 10″ screen of my Samsung NC10.

There was built-in way to modify it so I decided to tweak a little the files. Here is a brief HowTo:

1. Things to know

• the files containing the info to modify are located here: /usr/share/planner/ui
• back up your files before you change them

2. To change a file, open it as root (I use the second method that adds an optoin uinder the right-click menu). Find the strig toolbar and delete/change position of the toolbars the way you like it. Save.

3. For my purpose I only modified the main window file to remove the buttons i never use (new,open,print,printpreview). Here is how it looks now:

<toolbar           name=”ToolBar”>
<toolitem        action=”FileSave”/>
<separator/>
<toolitem        action=”EditUndo”/>
<toolitem        action=”EditRedo”/>
</toolbar>

4. You can modify how each page looks in Plannerby modifying the respective .ui file.

Good luck
