How to set the theme of a Ttk application on Linux

Ttk applications like git-gui and gitk look ugly by default on Linux because the default Ttk tries to emulate Motif. Here is how to make them less ugly.

Choose a Ttk theme. A partial list is provided by the official wiki of TCL.
If the chosen a theme that is not built-in:
1. If not already done, create a directory dedicated to Ttk themes. Example: mkdir ~/.local/share/tk-themes
2. Put the theme’s directory (there should be a pkgIndex.tcl file at its root) in it. For example, if we want the Clearlooks theme, we copy the content of the themes/clearlooks directory of the “Ttk themes” project (see the link above) in ~/.local/share/tk-themes/clearlooks
3. If not already done, add the line export TCLLIBPATH= (where `` is the path to the directory where you put your Ttk themes) to your ~/.profile file (or whatever the script that e

Use Wine 2.1-staging 64 bits.
Install winetrick FontsSmoothRGB (or another FontsSmooth depending on the desired font smoothing algorithm).
Set the Windows version to Windows 7.
Make mfc140u.dll native and built-in.
Install the MSI (extract from the EXE) in C:\Program Files\SketchUp\SketchUp 2017\
Copy system32/mfc140u.dll and syswow64/mfc140u.dll from an original Windows copy.

Note: On a 64-bits platform, system32 is for 64-bits DLLs and syswow64 is for 32-bits DLLs. Microsoft’s weirdnesses impress me everyday.

The universal Markdown comment syntax

Before

[/]: / "Your comment here"

After

It exploit the “reference-style” link syntax (and workarounds various bugs) to make the egine fully ignore the comment line.

How to migrate drive content

This procedure explain how to migrate the content of one internal drive to another (example: upgrading your hard disk for a SSD), without requiring more than one SATA port (so the procedure works on laptops).

Note: This procedure works well if using a MBR. On the other hand, GPTs are more complex so we can not just copy them as-is: we have to recreate the headers. This implies that with GPTs, some systems may become unbootable (until some setting are changed manually) because IDs have changed.

WARNING: Some steps might assume 512 octets sectors.

Requirements

A LiveCD/LiveDVD/LiveUSB of Linux with GParted, kpartx and all the necessary driver to manage the partitions present on the old drive.
An external drive with enough free space to hold a single file which size equals the capacity of the old internal drive. Note: A contiguous unallocated zone maybe used in place of a file, but it’s more complex and error-prone.
