Ubuntu :: Desktop Theme For Good Big Screen Experience?
May 2, 2011
I have assembled an "old" PC I want to attach to my 32" Sony TV. Mainly for browsing, watching videos, playing casual games. Is there a special Desktop theme suited for big screen ? In other words: Big icons, big text? Not sure if Unity helps out here. I would be willing to install another desktop manager (e.g. XFCE, KDE) than Gnome if it provides such features. Firefox for examples supports increased font size for browsing. For shell I've played around with guake and font sizes around 20 pix. It just would be nice to have "enlarged" menu entries.

I just upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04, and was doing some visual tweaking. One of the things I was doing was changing my mouse. I was having trouble so I played trying to get it to work. I've since found what the problem was here;But when I was trying to fix it, I installed bunch of other themes and tried them as well.When I did this I lost the theme that I wanted from the pointer menu. Thinking that maybe there was a limit to the number of X-11 mouse themes allowed I deleted all the ones that I had installed, and tried to install the theme I wanted again.
The issue seems to be that I can't install this theme again. The error window says "Failed. Can't move directory over directory". I assume that the computer made a copy of the file somewhere. I just can't find where. I tried the home directory and ctrl + h but I can't see anything there.

I'm trying to find a good desktop search tool. Beagle is dead, Recoll and Strigi are KDE, and Tracker is not many features (can't even search Thunderbird 3). Do I miss something? Is desktop search on Linux dead? Should I use Google Desktop Search instead

Is it possible to install a different theme on each of the multiple virtual desktops? For example, I thought it would be interesting to have the default Ubuntu theme installed on the primary desktop, on the secondary desktop have a Windows 7 theme, on the third desktop have a Mac OSX theme, and perhaps another theme on the fourth.
After looking at sites like these I am interested in finding out if this is possible:

I realize switching between themes may be a tough thing for a computer to do quickly, but if it is possible I'd at least like to try it on my desktop, which has enough processing power to at least make the transition time bearable. Does anyone know if/how I can set virtual desktop specific themes?

I am using Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit, I am big on desktop customization, but the only things I can find online about customizing the theme is using the Ubuntu Themes Manager. I want to create my own theme. When I used IceWM I LOVED theming my windows and taskbar, but the window manager had little capability as far as functionality went.Does anyone know how to customize the desktop theme with a little more than just the themes manager or can someone refer me to a good resource for doing so?

I am running 11.04 on a Dell Inspiron 1500 series laptop. I updated my computer yesterday, and now my desktop theme is different. In 10.04, changing the theme was easy, just go to appearance settings and choose. For some reason, when I go to appearance and select a theme now, the only options I get are customize and install, neither of which do anything to help me change my theme. The install button takes me to my home directory...presumably to pick a theme file. But I can't find any themes in my home directory.

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

anyone knew of a good variant of recordmydesktop (Or some better screen recorder) that was user/..... friendly? I want to record let's plays of SNES games (Via ZSNES), and have so far been having multiple complications with recordmydesktop (I.E. Having to use Audacity for sound, choppy emulation, general annoyance, etc...).

I love the theme that the Netbook remix 10.04 LTS has, but I jumped the gun installed desktop onto my laptop (not a atom based laptop). It works no problem.Is there anyway I can get Netbook remix theme loaded into 10.04 LTS desktop that is default with netbook 10.04 LTS? Searched the gnome sites for theme, background, art, etc, nothing.

Because a lot of them either refuse to install because of incompatibility for 64-bit Operating systems or they just don't work very well for recording video games, such as TF2.I found one, but it appears to have been abandoned for some reason, what a shame. It's GLC, but I can't figure out how to record WINE apps. I can't figure out what to record. The wiki tells me to record a "wine-pthread" but it says that it can't be executed nor is there such a file that exists on my computer. Are there any more options other than GLC? Or could I get some help with it?
