Ubuntu 10.04 : Emerald Will Not Keep Theme On Boot Up?
Mar 6, 2011
I just did a clean install with Lucid and I can not seem to get Emerald to keep the theme when booting up. I have to keep pressing Alt-F2 then type...
Code:
emerald --replace
I had changed the settings last time and when I booted up, emerald stayed the same. I'm not sure how I changed them, I forgot. I know I did something with...
Code:
gconf-editor /apps/metacity
...but I don't remember what I did and I can't seem to find the web site that showed me how. How can I keep the themes when booting up and not have to manually do it everytime I boot up?

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 just upgraded to 10.04 (actually had to dl 10.04 iso and do full install, upgrading from 9.10 crashed). I am trying to use "Emerald Theme Manager" (which is a pain aside from the problem I am having) When I click on a theme I dl'd and installed, E.T.M. just vanishes, the theme does not switch and I am done. It takes about 1 second after clicking the theme and then gone, no error message or error reporting message

I have Ubuntu 11.04 installed on my laptop. I've installed Compiz and Emerald, and I am trying use Emerald to change the themes. I open Emerald, import a theme, and select it. Nothing happens. I've searched on Google, and people have said to type "emerald --replace". This is what I get when I try it:Code:colin@TheDarkSideOfTheMoon:~$ emerald --replace
Segmentation faultThen the top bar on all my windows disappears. I've reinstalled it multiple times, but it still won't cooperate

Every time I choose a theme in this thing, the system never switches over to it. Am I supposed to log out, then log back in again to enable the newly installed .emerald themes? I tried running "emerald --replace", but my system just screws up once I do that: The window decorations completely remove themselves and I am stuck with uncontrollable windows.
I am using Ubuntu 11.04 in Classic mode.

this might not make much sense, but i was using gtk for my window decorator, then i decided to try emerald. i somewhat like it, but i was getting used to the minimize, maximize buttons being on the left side, but emerald has moved them to the right.

I tried applying an emerald theme yesterday, and when I did, it somehow affected the login screen, now it looks old and crappy like win98. I tried disabling emerald and even uninstalling it, but the login screen remains crappy, how do I get it back to the way it was?

I've been using 10.04 for a few months here and installed the truglass 0.5 theme for quite some time. I've been putting up with one downfall of it, which is on certain windows the min/max/close buttons do not show. I can hover over where they should be to actually use them, but they are not visible on all windows. They always come up with firefox, unless I hit a pop-up and a new window comes up. Any nautilus window doesn't have them unless focus on that window is lost. Any ideas on how I can solve this? See attached screenshot.

I'm using Emerald Theme Manager 0.7.2. Using Oxygen 0.1 as the engine, when I switch between Firefox tabs the Title Bar lags at times and displays the previously viewed tab/screen. If I click in the Title Bar, it then updates.

When I maximize a window the title border is still there as it should be but the side borders disappear. I do not think that this is an error or abnormal at all I just want to know if there is a way to show the side borders instead of hide them. If there is an option that I missed somewhere or something. The reason I ask is that when I use window previews or super+tab window switcher (do not remember exact name) the windows that are not maximized look great and the ones that are pretty ugly looking.

Whenever I try to implement a theme using Emerald and execute "emerald --replace" my title bars disappears and the theme is not applied. I've created screenshots below of the problem so that you guys can have a visual of my problem.

My plan is to slowly switch over to this Distro rather than use Gnome 3 or Unity, but I'm not as familiar with Debian. I've gotten everything working (including Compiz) except that I can't find Emerald anywhere? Is it possible to install Emerald in Debian Squeeze? If so, is there a PPA or repository?

For some reason, from time to time on login, as my normal theme starts to load, it changes to some sort of silver theme (a very basic one), and I am unable to change it over to any other theme. Checking the theme being used, it still says my desired one is set, but it is not. Also, no matter what theme I change it to, that basic silver theme is the one being used. This includes a default icon theme, not the one I prefer.
The only option that seems to fix things is a restart, and the hope that on this login it won't mess up like before.I am using Natty, from a fresh install, with Ubuntu Classic as my desktop, and have reinstalled things more than once to try and fix a few of the Natty-related issues, but this one keeps coming back.

I backed up .themes from /home, but on trying to install them (files don't show as theme packages) it says "There was an error installing the selected file, index.theme doesn't appear to be a valid theme". Did I backup the right thing?

I recently installed kubuntu-kde and it changed the boot splash theme from an orange logo on a purple background to tourqoise on blue. How do I change it back?
In KDE, I can navigate to Settings > System Settings > Appearance > Splash Screen but that's not what i'm looking for. I'm not trying to change KDE's Splash Screen that shows when you load the KDE window manager after logging in as a user. Further, I'm not trying to change grub's boot splash image, which renders this guide useless.
I want to change the boot splash theme which lasts 25 seconds that is shown between the time your select the kernel in grub2 and the time gdm loads. Right now it says "Kubuntu" in an ugly way and I want to change it back to what it was originally before I installed KDE. I want it to say "Ubuntu" as it should by default.

Using LTS 10.04. How do I change my boot splash and login screen? (in the past I would). It was just system->admin->login screen but all the options are missing! See attached screen shots.
Tried to reinstall it.
xxx@xxxx:~$ sudo apt-get install gdm-themes

Package gdm-themes is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source
E: Package gdm-themes has no installation candidate
Ubuntu changed something and I don't what it is (I cant even figure what to search for)
- The first screen is my desktop system->admin->login screen
- The 2nd is what should be there. system->admin->login screen
