Coherence strikes back
With a release per month, Coherence is evolving rapidly, the community is coming along, it's nice to see the IRC channel filling up with developers and users. Recently Frank added a backend for Tracker, it's a bit rough on the edges currently and publishes only the Music files over UPnP, but support for Videos and Pictures publishing will come soon! In the future, every media file you'll have on your desktop monitored by Tracker will be potentially available to the other devices of your living network via UPnP.
One nice use-case is to use Rhythmbox on one computer to play the media hosted on another desktop, transparently, with no headaches of setting up a network share. Work is currently being done towards a desktop applet called gcoherence meant to ease the configuration and setup of Coherence:
Another new feature of Coherence is a MediaServer backend for Ampache, a web-based audio jukebox system. I haven't tested that one yet, but Ampache looks like a nice toy to play with in the near future :)
Great stuff guys, keep up the good work :)

Hey, i've found the theme; it't "neutronium unity" http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/show.php?content=59189&vote=bad&tan=66064673&PHPSESSID=5b8cf6494951d58c5cb4853a856243aa
the theme is a mix between the gtk in the first file and the metacity theme "neutronium rounded" i the second one

Coherence website reports wrong certificate with Mozilla Firefox 3 Beta 5... I can't access the site.
#. troll on Sun May 4 11:10:31 2008
The certificate is broken :( I _won't_ access sites with broken certificates, that is dangerous. That should either be fixed or SSL disabled (all it does is brings false feeling of security, and annoyance).#. dev on Sun May 4 11:31:20 2008
It isn't broken, it is only self-signed. On the Firefox 3 'error'-page there is a link on the bottom allowing you to accept that certificate.Add a comment

Wow I like the theme, what is it and what're the icons? Reminds me a little of gilouche - hand made or gnome-art?
