Ubuntu :: Change Color Scheme For Certain Applications?
Aug 13, 2011
I used to use the negative filter (Compiz) with Eclipse in order to have a dark background, but I wasn't satisfied. Then I ended up changing the Appeareance for all gnome windows (and applying a color scheme to Eclipse editors), so my background is black and the text is white.
It works perfectly for most of applications, but some (i.e. the crappy Celtx) are unreadable, as they keep the white of the font but use a white background. For Celtx, I'm still searching for the css to modify. But, overall, it could be great if there was a way to define one -more standard, black on white- color theme to be applied only on some applications (the conflictive ones).

I need to change the default color scheme in Ubuntu's terminal. Or at least turn the colors completely off because this lime green hilight / light blue text is killing my eyes.

I have several terminals opened at once to monitor the logs. It would be helpful to choose different basic color for text (and maybe for background) for each terminal so I can quickly locate the one I need. Anyone know how to do this or perhaps point me to right direction?

How can I export my Ubuntu terminal's color scheme for use on other computers?I've set up a color scheme that I like and I'd like to put it in a git repo for easy loading from other machines. Any strategy that would make it work in other terminal apps too, such as Konsole?

I just installed a fresh copy of Ubuntu on my small 64GB SSD alongside my main drive for storage. I got everything set up just how I like it (customized clearlooks with Ubuntu Mono Light icons) the same as I have it on my laptop. I disabled all system sound effects.This morning, I wake up to it having a different icon set, and the menus having an identical grey scheme. In addition, the Ubuntu system sound effects are playing, even though in the settings it says they are disabled.I'm not really sure what's wrong! It's the same in both compiz and metacity.Here's a screenshot. Note how the boring old-style theme is applied in the update window and the menu at the top, yet the customizing themes window has the correct appearance for the buttons (funny coincidence)EDIT: I think I've narrowed it down to gnome-settings-daemon. When I try to initialize it via the terminal I get this:
** (gnome-settings-daemon:3852): WARNING **: Failed to acquire org.gnome.SettingsDaemon
** (gnome-settings-daemon:3852): WARNING **: Could not acquire name

I use a custom theme on Gnome. I use "New Wave" controls. Next i customised colours to get the Ubuntu purple, rather than orange. This however does not apply everywhere. If i hover menus, highlight text it's OK. On buttons and other controls it remains orange however.
I tried with gnome colour chooser and it seems to override the text only. How can i get read of this (in my opinion ugly) orange and see my (in my opinion far better ) purple tint on my controls?

I know that you can hit super + n to invert colors of the currently active window. Is there a way to start an application, let's say for instance nautilus, always in this mode?What's the actual command behind super + n?

Just installed Ubuntu 11.04 where by default the top bar, where the ubuntu log and the time hangs out, is this nice dark humanity theme that fits in wonderfully with ambiance. I am not all sure what happened... as far as I know all I did was update the system and now the top has much more of a kde/clear looks theme too it. I want the old look back. I looked through the appearance app and cssm and couldn't seem to find the settings I need. What do I need to do to change it back? Also, as a completely unrelated question, I would love it if I could change the order of the apps in the unity bar in addition to which apps have icons there.

I don't know much about scripting and so despite my best efforts i can't seem to get my script right and I was wondering how to do the following:at startup set the background color to a certain hex valueover time cycle through the entire range of possible values from (0x000000 to 0xFFFFFF)do this slowly, not abruptlystart the script every time I loginI know I need to use gconftool-2 -t str --set /desktop/gnome/background/primary_color "#$COLOR"where COLOR is a hex value variablebut really beyond that the specifics of how to time the updating of the hex value or whether a variable can be a hex value at all (if not how to work around that).

I am running Karmic Koala on a Dell Precision M90, and have some problems with my color depth, or at least that's what I believe. I have googled this problem numerous times, reading a lot about /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and have created numerous files in that location, with all manners of (probably) valid contents. I have yet to try invalid contents, in the hope that Linux is reading the file, and doing so would crash the system. This is my current xorg.conf, after many iterations:
Code:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "X.org Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
[code]....
Now, is there some other place to change this? Should I sacrifice more virgins to Cthulhu, or is Hastur the one to ask in these situations?

would anyone know how to change the widget plotter background color? I used to be able to do it in 9.10 by doing a right click/properties/advanced. In Lucid, I no longer see that advanced tab so I have no idea how to change that widget gray color? has this functionality moved somewhere else?? I looked all over the place in System Settings but I can't find anything.

I want to change the color of just the menubar: the bar at the top of the webbrowser that has "Menu Edit View History Bookmarks Tools Help" etc. I do NOT want to change the color of the Ubuntu Top and Bottom "taskbars." If I go to System-Preferences-Appearance and customize Controls it always changes all three. Is there a way to just change the color of Firefox's menubar so it's more decipherable from the Window Border?
