right I am using starx to get into KDE interface, I am able so choose other themese using "Appearance settings", but I have visited kde.org site and found some other themese, when I click to install them, I am getting tarballs, My question is how to install themes from that tarballs, what I need to do
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.
the kde thread made me want to give xfce another go. The standard themes are a bit dull. I am running the proprietary ati drivers on a HD5470 so compiz and mates should not be an issue. What themes and spices do you recommended to make xfce a bit more wow?
I installed slack 13.37 (haven't used KDE since 2003) and I can't find where to change the look of the window manager itself. I can see the color themes and the "style" settings but no window decoration settings. Am I missing something? See attached png for System Style settings...
I am new to linux in general and have an older sysytem that I successfully partitioned to run ubuntu, kubuntu, and windoze. I was a casual mac user before thius and am used to packages--so I have no exp. installing tarballs. I am trying to install xampp and successfully downloaded it, but now am at a loss as to what to do--nothing seems to be working. I am using firefox which for some reason is not saving to downloads even though that is what I have set in pref. Is there a way I can use apt-get for this (although my understanding of that isn't much better. I can't seem to find the relevant information in documentation.
1.- What would be the simplest way to port and handle tarballs downloaded in windows, to a CentOS 5.4 based system (Elastix in fact), but without graphic mode (that is, using only the CLI)? The system has network contection, usb interfaces and a working DVD-RW attached.
2.- If the answer is Samba, how I get Samba working on my system?
I would like to install a new icon theme without effecting my currently selected panel theme, as i think the Ambience panel theme looks really nice and unified but im not too keen on the Ubuntu-Mono icons.Is this easily possible, without going into my icon folders and replacing all the instances of one style for another?Are there any applications for gnome icon theming like OS X's Candybar?Im sure others must desire to change only the icons and perhaps it is really easy and this is why i couldnt dig anythin up on google, that or im a useless googler.
Since of late "Appearance preference" behaves awkwardly . Normaly It is supposed to show themes in /usr/share/themes right? but now it shows themes only in ~/.themes folder. I don't know what affected the change. how do I configure it as to show themes in /usr/share/themes/,?
Also whatever theme I use , Controls would stay same(Classic controls). They wouldn't be update to those of the Theme used.
This is the site where I went to find a theme [URL] And this is the one I'd like to install [URL] but I can't get it to work, can some one help me on this one,... Plus I'm pretty sure theres more people out there like me. So this would be very nice if some one tells us "how to". I like pidgin better, but empathy it's the default in ubuntu, and It comes with better integration with Gnome.
I'm trying to install these two Metacity themes: URL...They're .zip files, and when I go to drag them into Themes, it says they're not valid themes. If I can't install them this way, how do I install them?
Ok yesterday I had a problem where I tried to install some Emerald themes on Xubuntu 11.04. It did not work and in the process, all of my Windows Decoration was gone, the Maximize and Minimize buttons at the top of each windows were gone, as shown in the picture attached. I am done with emerald, I uninstalled, I just want my top windows bars back. I found a command for the terminal that fixed it, but when I turned my PC on this morning, the bars were gone again, and I had to reenter that command again. The command it 'xfwm4 --display=:0.0 --replace' that brings them back. Is there a way for my computer to automatically do that command or is there another permanent solution?
I am new to linux... and I have Installed Debian as my default OS replacing Ubuntu.
I have Installed Plymouth: # apt-get install plymouth # /usr/sbin/plymouth-set-default-theme --list # /usr/sbin/plymouth-set-default-theme THEME # update-initramfs -u
Plymouth does not work. What went wrong? or what more should I do to make it work.Also how do I install themes to plymouth, which are not there in the theme package? I have come across this theme I really like but it is in tar.gz and I am looking for some guidance from the forum to run tar.gz packages.
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?
I don't know how to install them but: I would like to know how do you install this specific theme [URL] And how to install other us plash themes in the future.
After upgrading from opensuse 11.2 to 11.3 my firefox and thunderbird have changed their theme to a new one(?). Actually I prefer more 11.2 theme as firefox's and thunderbir'ds interfaces look a little bit "bulky" to me.
I have just reinstalled 10.10. I used the alternate version since I had to add a fake raid Windows install. Ubuntu is on a OCZ SSD (very nice )
Install went fine. Update went fine (a bit over 300MB of updates) and everything looked as it should.
Then I installed the restricted Nvidia drivers for my GTX275 card and then gnome suddenly looks like the attached screenshot. I have tried to change theme and the colour of the top bar changes but that is that. No icon changes etc.
I have updated to the latest 270.18 drivers but the problem is still the same.
"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"
since few days I have installed a fresh debian testing on my new laptop, I am using XFCE4 as DE, I noticed that when I use these themes: greybird, bluebird and albatross the GTK3 applications (mostly from gnome 3 stack) do not display correctly the application. I have another laptop with an older debian testing with XFCE4 and the GTK3 themes work properly. The only relevant difference between the old computer and the new one are the video driver, the older use radeonsi driver and newest the nvidia blob binary.
