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?
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,
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 have avant-window-navigator in my startup appplications. This apparently causes gnome to use the Gnome icon theme on boot, instead of the Humanity theme I selected in Preferences->Appearance. I just have to go to Preferences-Appearance again to get the Humanity theme back to work (I don't even have to change any settings, just going there is enough.) When I remove awn from my startup applications, this problem doesn't occur.
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.
Just upgraded to 10.10. My appearance preferences are set to the "ambient" theme, but when I reboot, the system changes the toolbar/icons etc to the hideous "no-theme" (windows-looking grey with big icons) appearance. When I click on System->Preferences->Appearance it immediately loads up Ambience without me having to select it (like it knows that it's been naughty!) I'm on a tiny-screen netbook. I suspect that 10.10 is not saving the appearance settings properly.
I have a fresh install of 10.04 and i have changed my playmouth theme to spinfinity and now when i boot its plays the animation and then justh the ubuntu logo on the screen.....ice let it sit at this state for hours...when i push the power button on my computer the logo goes away and ubuntu proceeds to shut down.cant log into my desktop to change the theme back to the default....im on another partition at the moment....how do i change my theme back to the default?
does anyone know how to change the panel colors independent of theme? I like the theme I am on, but I want to lighten up my panel colors a little to contrast morwith my background.If you are wondering, I tried gnome-color-chooser and I cannot figure out how to change every panels color with that in 10.10; just parts of panels.
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
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.
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.
I want to change the background image for a Plymouth theme on FC13. I'musing spinfinity and I'd like to just have a blank background or somesolid color rather than the Fedora logo. I've found the sprites in /usr/share/plymouth/themes/spinfinity.
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.
I've changed the theme in tweak to 'dust and sand' but I don't get the window frames changing. There's a blue surround that didn't change with the theme change. Also I'm assuming the button layout will revert once the window frames do....Like the gnome3 interface better than unity though.
I want to install Elegant Gnome theme.I installed Nautilus-elementary and Droid Sans Font but couldn't install Murrine and Equinox GTK engines.I couldn't get what is PPA and how to find path of PPA to tell Ubuntu where it is. Can anyone tell me how to install it? And I searched it is not trusted if it is not trusted.so if I install that...what will happen?how to install that theme? There they have written that download archive and extract it. How to do that?
I'm running ubuntu natty with gnome 3 installed. I was installing some gnome 3 shell themes, and I now I want to revert back to the default gnome 3 shell theme (adwaita) but i forgot to back it up (I thought I had) I'm just wondering where I could find this shell online. How do I revert back to where I was.
Im trying to use a Gnome theme designed for Ubuntu on Debian. Ive installed it into /usr/share/themes and the window border and close, minimise maximise buttons show up right but the other controls (buttons, scrollbars, progress bars etc) dont and default to the generic ones.
I know nothing about how themes work really but I assumed as long as both distros were using Metacity it would work?
Running 10.04 very nicely, but I have applied a cursor theme - Comixcursor - which appears fine in my Gnome apps, but does not in my KDE apps, i.e. Amarok, and I get the default cursor. Each time I restart my lappy, I have to go into the KDE System Settings to apply it again.
So, here's the story: I did some messing about with the ambiance-maverick-beta theme and it worked fine, but the login screen, missing the default Ambiance theme, defaulted to Clearlooks. Clearlooks. So, I tried upgrading to Maverick, thinking it would default the login screen to the new themes. No such luck.
All of a sudden my gnome theme changed and various apps including thunderbird and firefox started crashing. I've traced the first occurrence back to the following errors, starting with a segmentation fault in canberra-gtk-pl in kern.log:
I use amarok because I like it much better than rythmbox or any other gnome music app. Now there is one problem, I use a dark color theme under gnome but amarok stays light, and I can't use custom colors as in amarok14. Now my question is how can I make amarok use my gnome theme, or at least give also a dark look? nd is it possible to show only the lyrics on my desktop?
I'm sure there's a really easy way to do this in the Configuration Wizard, but what I want to do is change the icon that is usually the Ubuntu icon that is now the Gnome icon (after having installed the "Slick Red" theme back to being the Ubuntu symbol. On the very top Left of the screenshot: [URL]
I am on Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit version (Gnome). I am running an NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT graphics card with the NVIDIA proprietary drivers. I have dual screens running at 1920x1080. I am dual booting with Windows 7 but I don't think that should make a difference (BURG is my bootloader). When I first boot up into Ubuntu and log in, my desktop looks just great, like this: But if I log out then log back in, my theme reverts to a grey blockish theme that seems to be reserved so weak video cards or something like that. I'm somewhat new to Ubuntu desktop. This is what it looks like:
I did a clean install for ubuntu 11.04. Having seen the power of Gnome 3 (with Fedora) I installed it right away. Some minor problem arose and I had to deinstall accessibility themes and install the "standard" gnome themes. However there is one more problem and I've added a screen shot to show the problem. As you can see, the gnome desktop seems pretty cool but however the tweak tool doesn't show properly (empathy and other apps neither).
Besides the fact that the themes don't properly show in this screen I also get the error "User Theme extension not enabled" now I get the feeling these problems are related, but how do I fix it? I've searched everywhere but as far as I know I seem to be the only one with this problem. I would love to take the full advantage of a Gnome 3 desktop but this is getting to be a big "bump" in the road.
