More realistic maps and backgrounds and a sophisticated graphics handling produce nearly photo realistic images of our mothership. It’s GTK GUI makes it really easy to use and provides a lot of settings and a user friendly access to xplanetFX. And even the templating capabilities give xplanetFX an individual and stylish touch.

xsr
- Ebuilds: 1, Testing: 1.0.0-r1 Description:
X Steps Recorder is a clone of PSR for Windows, a program that allows users
to make a recording of all of the steps they took. (It's like a screen
recorder except it doesn't record a video.)
The main differences are that this only runs on Linux, that it records
your keystrokes too (!), and that it saves the output as standard html
(base64-uri-encoded images) rather than mhtml. This allows for easy
editing of the resultant file, such as to remove passwords you typed
(which is why psr doesn't record keystrokes in the first place).
