Apr 13, 2011
I installed some gtk-2 themes and was using the but after changing to a new theme they went away from the theme manager I checked in the theme folder they are still in there but only halve of the themes show up in the theme manager how do I get them all to show or at lest the ones I want to.
System>Prefrences right? It's not there? Everywhere I look It says it should be there,.. well it's not... How can I add it manually? or where is the folder? I would like to edit my themes.. I have a theme manager, but it doesn't load any themes I download..
I'm trying to install new themes on ubuntu but it tells me that GTK + themes 'ubuntulooks'is not installed and won't load up the themes as it should. I went to package manager and installed it but still doesn't work. Themes to be installed, either overglossed or sickness-black. environment ubuntu 10.04.
i am using opensuse 11.4 and i reinstalled it 4 days before.i have changed the cursor theme,login theme etc.after the reinstall i forgot how to change them.so please tell me how to change cursor theme,login theme,boot splash?
I have ubuntu but but i dont like the themes. How can I give it that glossy blue look of windows 7 without having to change everything. For example there are some packages that you can install but they change everything and make it look like windows, including the menus. I just want the color. Or at least something like this theme for google chrome I have. i'm attaching a picture of the google chrome theme so you can look at it and tell me if it is possible to get it on ubuntu,
I installed a theme in emerald, and it didn't do anything, like, it had no effect on my windows or anything. So i did some searching and the only thing i could find was to run "emerald --replace" in the terminal, and it worked, but if I exit out of the terminal, it reverts back to the old theme.How do I keep emerald's theme, even after I exit the terminal?
I've finally managed to get a local install of WP up and running but, for some reason, when I copy new theme directories into the themes folder, WP-Admin doesn't see them.I've spent about 4 hours working my way through this and this is the last problem I've got to deal with
I want to change login theme on ubuntu 10 as it was on ubuntu 9. I mean you can change the background and login style the area where you asked to put your password
I just updated to SUSE 11.3 and got the latest version of KDE 4.I'm not thrilled with the default theme (the taskbar running applications are really fuzzy) and would like to install a new one, but there isn't anyplace in the settings menu to change it. Did I miss something? How do I change the theme?
I just installed ubuntu and want to install a theme http://www.ubuntuthemes.org/overglossed.html i downloaded it and tried to install it but when I did it said that GDT + theme is not installed. I looked it up and found that I had to install them from synaptic package manager, I did it but still not working. How can I solve it?
When I used Karmic, I only had to use gconf-editor to set the titlebar widgets to the left once, and they stayed there when I changed themes, no matter what theme I set. Since I installed Lucid, every time I change themes (other than to radiance or ambiance), my titlebar widgets are moved from the upper left to the upper right, and I have to use gconf-edit or to switch them back to the way they were. Why is this happening and what can I do to stop it?
I am using ubuntu 8.04 and has firefox 3.5.15.of late,whenever i open [url] and [url] firefox crashes.also when opening window for changing themes,background firefox crashes.
I recently added new themes for KDE from get new themes login manager. When I click on install new themes I have no clue where they are located? Not really new to fedora but far from being an expert and could use some help in many areas of the system. Most thing I have been able to figure out but some things just make no sense to me. I've configured many Linux systems but never for my own use and customization like desk tops, themes and such.
I go to systemsettings > appearance > workspace > get more themes. And I install themes, they get downloaded but none shows up when i close the dialog box and go to the place where you select themes.
i saw few themes in some demo videos.in those themes after pressing close button window collapses or breks into pieces.in some themes window closes with a flash light.it gives a look of disappearing.what are these themes called?where can i download them?or can we get those effects by changing settings?
I downloaded a theme from gnomeart, and in the readme it tells me to use "gdmsetup" to install it - however, when I try typing "gdmsetup" in the console, it says "command not found". How would I go about installing the theme?
when I want to change theme (control center-> apparence, I don't know the name of the application), gnome-settings-deamon crash. When I lauch "apparence" again, gnome-settings-daemon is restarted and it make X restart ! The problem has come with the upgrade 11.2->11.3Here is the output of gnome-settings-daemon when it is restarted (when X crash)
Code: ** (gnome-settings-daemon:16223): WARNING **: Can not run apport-checkreports (gnome-settings-daemon:16223): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: IA__g_object_notify: object class
moments after I log in to my Ubuntu 10.10 32-bit desktop my theme reverts to the "classic" Ubuntu theme and icons. I can open appearance and change it back, but I have to do this every time I log on. It also changes the theme, but whenever I right click my desktop or open Nautilis, it still looks like the "classic" theme.Is this an already existing problem? is there a fix?
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on a Dell XPS Studio 8000 - I find that on occasion the desktop theme seems to change itself. I have selected Clearlooks. The desktop generally looks correct as shown in the first attachment. Then for some unknown reason the desktop changes - most obvious are the buttons which are now square cornered rather than round cornered. See the second attachment. Appearance Preferences usually still shows the Theme as Clearlooks although I have had it change to "Custom" a time or two. Logout/login does not fix the problem. A reboot will fix the problem and return to the correct Clearlooks Theme
i am having a boot problem with opensuse.i installed a theme named suse-elegant under personal settings(configure desktop)-system administration-login screen.
i had also added vbox users(i ticked vboxusers) under yast-security and users-user and group management-edit-details to make virtual box work.
i want to check that installed theme so i restarted my laptop.after the restart opensuse taking too long time to boot
note:the login theme also not working.
after the boot i restored defaults in login screen themes.it is also not working.
i don't know which cause this problem(vboxusers or login theme).i am also seeing a root user has been added in my login area.i tried opensuse failsafe also.
I need some help on changing my desktop to ICEWM. Want my laptop to run light as possible by using thunar, icewm panels and themes. I got it to change to ICEWM as the default window manager instead of compiz, but can't figure out how to change the panels, themes and file manager?
"Installation for theme failed.Can't move directory over directory"permissions are read/write for all for my usr/share/themes directory. Not sure what directory it wants to move over for user installed themes though. Everything worked fine before and these themes too which are unchanged.gnome btwim also noticing a strange error when i load a theme "This theme will not look as intended because the required GTK+ theme engine is not installed"
I'm slowly getting used to Gnome 3 and trying to give it a chance. After a few oddities (like it swallowing my Gnome Shell and Tilda invocations because I use Super in them) then I think I'm slowly getting used to it. There are still some things I miss from Compiz, but it has potential and I like some bits (the notifications and dialogs).I don't know what got upgraded, but my themes seemed to be working before yet today I've got the default Sonar rather than my darker Sonar theme with a fixed Chromium style. I've managed to change the titlebar theme, but I can't change the GTK theme or the icon theme.
Running "gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface icon-theme" reports "Tango-green", but I still have the default icon theme and using Appearances only partially works.Running "gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme" reports "SonarLighter" (the menu bar is lighter to match the Uniq theme) but I'm definitely seeing Sonar.I've tried gnome-tweak-tool from someone's OBS, but various dependencies seem to be missing (first it bails with the wrong GI version, then I updated some other bits and tried again, but even after switching a dozen or more packages then it never started).
to change the login theme. I go to 'Configure Desktop' then 'Login Screen' and change it but when i log out it is still the default screen. Even if i reset the computer it is still the Default... is there something else i need todo? I am using opensuse 11.4 with KDE as default but i have Gnome installed too.
In OpenSUSE 11.4, I changed my KDM4 theme to KStarboard. All works well except the fact that the background on the login screen is broken into vertical lines just like the original OpenSUSE KDM theme. Is this hardcoded somehow or just a consequence of problems with resolution? My resolution is 1366x768.
My desktop theme is automatically changing when ever I switch on my comp... And if I change,the effects are only partially... That is the panel and other buttons change but the file and applications design remains the same... But however if I restart, it becomes ok.
