Workarounds

1. To integrate IDM with navigators follow these steps :

• Chromium : in the URL Bar write chrome://extensions then toggle the value of IDM to true.
• Firefox : To integrate with Firefox we need an Extension named Flashgoto.. Flashgot is an Extension that allows you to download all links with your favourite Downloader with a single click.To install Flashgot go to Tools>Add-ons and type flashgoto in searchbox and install FlashGot Mass Downloader x.x.x.xx.   Next thing we need to do is to enable Wine Apps for FlashGot in order to use IDM. To do this type about:config in Firefox address bar and search for "wine". Now Toggle the value of Flashgot.useWine to true. 

          Now go to Extentions and edit flashgot preferences. Under General Tab In Download Manager select                   "Internet Download Manager" and under Download tab Select "Intercept all Downloads". Click OK.

       2. To integrate IDM into Ubuntu graphics,This part is pretty easy. Just follow some simple steps: 

• Download Luna theme for wine and extract the downloaded file. 
• Open "Configure Wine" from launcher . Go to "Desktop Integration" tab and hit install button and select your theme with ".msstyles" extension.
• Now from drop down list select VistaPerfectionX4 and hit apply.
