[CentOS 7] Chrome use system theme fix

After installing Google Chrome on CentOS 7 with the default theme enabled, you may notice that it will display the mouse pointer in the default Xorg theme instead of blending in with the system.

A workaround is to edit the /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme file by changing

Inherits=dmz-aa

to

Inherits=Adwaita

[Yum] Add and manage custom repositories

In the latest Fedora versions, it is possible to add custom repositories to yum by creating a .repo file under the /etc/yum.repos.d/ folder following this structure:

[REPOSITORY_NAME]
baseurl=REPOSITORY_URL
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=URL_TO_KEY

This will add and enable the repo available at REPOSITORY_URL signed by the GPG key found at URL_TO_KEY to your list.

Here's a couple of offical Fedora repos for Google Chrome and VirtualBox:

[Linux] Xfce set Chrome as default browser

So, you installed Google Chrome (not Chromium) on your machine and set it as default browser from its menu but even if it's the only installed browser, you see Xfce not using it as the default one:

exo-open --launch WebBrowser

asks you to specify the default browser instead of launching it, and if you set it, Chrome complains he's not the default every time you open it.

You may work around the issue by changing the preferred application for the browser:

gksu xfce4-settings-manager

and setting the default browser as:

/usr/bin/google-chrome "%s"

then ignoring Chrome's complaint.
