Syntax highlighting .bashrc in gedit for Ubuntu 10.04

I wanted to customise my .bashrc file but gedit kept just showing the sh/shell code without syntax highlighting. To fix this I did a few things.

cd ~/.local/share mkdir -p gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs
cd gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs
cp /usr/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs/sh.lang ./
gedit sh.lang

Change line 27 to:

<property name=”globs”>*.sh;.bashrc</property>

Basically adding ;.bashrc

So here is the file to save you the hassle of this process. Just extract to your Home directory ~/

gedit_sh_lang.tar.gz

SBSettings Theme for 5.0.1

I wanted a theme that worked with the Banners Notification on the iPhone 4 Firmware 5.0.1. The Gimme 4 theme in black that I found on a forum did not have the Drop Win icon so a made one.

To install you need Cydia, Open SSH, Filezilla then ftps to /private/var/mobile/Library/SBSettings/Themes and put the extracted Gimme 4-1_5.0.1_TT_edit folder there. Rename it to something simple like “Gimme 4″ if you like!

To use this I found I had to go to SBSetting and configure the iOS 5 Notification section and set it to Separate List “ON”. Then set the notifications toggles. That is to say that having Separate List “OFF” with Using (existing) Windows Toggles did not work.
In short, use Separate List.
