Ubuntu :: Mac Theme For Gnomenu?

Feb 18, 2010

I had a theme with Gnomenu before where there was a small black apple for the start menu with a gray panel. The rest of the menu was in the style of the default menu. I have reinstalled since and can't find this any more. Do any of you happen to have the theme I'm talking about?

Ubuntu :: Gnomenu Available For 11.04 ?

May 16, 2011

I have used "Gnomenu" in the past and thought it was quite good. I did have some stability problems with it, or it seemed that way. My question is as follows.

Is Gnomenu available for Ubuntu 11.04.

Is it stable and lastly is there anything better.

I don't like to use Compiz or Emerald or anything fancy as i find

I end up with problems with my title bars etc.

May 14, 2010

I'm still on that steep learning curve but have been enjoying playing around with the desktop environment. I've installed gnomenu and would like my win key to open it.

How do I manage to do this? I notice in the Gnomenu Settings that the "Bind keyboard key ex: Super_L" is ticked but not sure what this means exactly.

Fedora :: How To Install GnoMenu

Jul 18, 2010

This guide will show you how to install GnoMenu 2.9 on Fedora 12/13, & how to install custom themes for GnoMenu. I will cover the install feature that is built into the software, & the manual install procedure. Because personally I have NEVER been able to get the built-in install feature to work. If it works for you, Great! If not, you can still install manually.

Download & Install GnoMenu 2.9

1.) Visit the Official GnoMenu site and download the latest version of the program. (2.9 at time of writing)

1a.) https://launchpad.net/gnomenu. (notice: This is also a secure site)

1b.) DO NOT download and install this program from any unofficial source.

2.) Open the archive you just downloaded. (gnomenu-2.9.tar.gz)

2a.) Copy the entire folder (gnomenu) from inside the archive, to your /tmp folder.

3.) Open a terminal and run the following commands.

Code:

3a.) This is the actual install process. It should not take very long at all.

4.) After the installation is finished, browse to your /tmp folder and delete the /gnomenu folder. It is no longer needed.

5.) Right-click your panel and select 'add to panel' from the context menu.

5a.) In the "Add to Panel" window select GnoMenu and click the 'Add' button. (as shown)

GnoMenu 2.9 is now installed. So first of all, you should remove the standard 'Menu Bar' from your panel and move the GnoMenu button to the far left of your panel (kinda like the windows start button). You can of course place the button anywhere on the panel. The choice is yours.

Now, lets right-click the GnoMenu button and select 'Properties'. The dialog box that opens lets you choose & install various theme elements, as well as setup all other options and features... Lets take a quick look at the tabs on the Properties dialog before moving on to the manual theme installation procedure.

The 'Themes' Tab.

This tab allows you to select the themes you want to use, & install new themes. The 'themes' are divided into four categories: Menu, Button, Sounds, and Icons. To install a new theme, press the Install button for the type of theme you are installing and select the theme archive you have downloaded. You DO NOT extract the theme files from the archive. I cannot get this method to work so I have included a manual install guide at the bottom of this thread.

The Preferences Tab.

This tab contains a LOT of various settings! You will just have to play around with them and find the setup that works best for you and the theme that your currently using. With some menu themes I like to increase my Icon Size, or use my system icons instead of the theme icons. These options are all personal preference.

The Commands Tab.

This tab allows you to set custom commands for all of the various buttons on the Menu's. Such as Shutdown, Restart, Lock Screen, Help, Search, ect., I suggest leaving these values alone unless you need to change one of them for some specific reason...

GnoMenu 2.9 is now installed and configured. Lets move on to installing a custom theme...

Manual Installation for Custom Themes.

If your built-in install feature works as well as mine does, then you will have to manually install all of the themes that you download. In order to do that you must copy files into a directory that needs Root access!! We could Log in as Root, but this is not very safe, and it would be very inconvenient. So we are going to make a Launcher that will open a new instance of Nautilus with Root permissions. When you close that instance of Nautilus the Root permissions will no longer be active. So this makes it easy to access directories that need Root permissions, & it does not create a security issue...

1.) Download a custom GnoMenu theme...

1b.)Download: 'Carbon' Menu Theme (carbon.tar.gz) - I uploaded this file - Find more @ gnome-look.org

2.) Create a new Launcher on your Desktop.
2a.) In the 'Type' box select 'Application in Terminal'.
2b.) In the 'Name' box type 'Browse Files as Root'. (or anything you want)
2c.) In the 'Command' box type: sudo 'nautilus'
2d.) Leave the 'Comments' box empty... and click 'OK'

3.) Extract the 'Carbon' folder from the archive you just downloaded. (carbon.tar.gz) unto your Desktop

3a.) Dbl-Click on your new Launcher and open Nautilus with Root permissions. (You may or may not be prompter to enter a password. Depending on how you have SUDO configured on your machine)

3b.) Inside Nautilus copy the entire 'Carbon' folder from your Desktop and paste it into the following location:
/usr/share/gnomenu/Themes/Menu

Your Custom Theme has now been installed and you can set it to be used by entering the GnoMenu properties and selecting it on the 'Theme Tab'. You can download hundereds of different Menu, Button, Icon, and Sound themes for GnoMenu by visiting the GnoMenu Theme Area at: www.GNOME-LOOK.org

NOTICE: each type of theme has it's own folder that it has to be installed into, or it will not work at all. Here is a list of the correct directories..

Ubuntu :: UnicodeDecodeError In GnoMenu On Avant Window Navigator

Mar 27, 2010

I decided to bite the bullet and install AWN 0.4 beta, because it supported GnoMenu. However, adding the GnoMenu applet to AWN triggers a UnicodeDecodeError, which looks something like this:

Code:
UnicodeDecodeError in GnoMenu: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xb5 in position 1: unexpected code byte

The traceback is as follows:

Code:

Ubuntu :: Gnomenu Reporting OAFIID:GNOME_GnoMenu When Adding To Panel?

May 2, 2011

I've done a quick google search and didn't really find anything that I understood. I DID find a reference to the bug on launchpad, but supposedly it was fixed as of version 2.1 and I'm running the latest version I could find which I believe is 2.9 so I'm a bit lost.

Any help would be great, if you need more info, just tell me how to get it and i shall do so as I really am missing gnomenu. If it makes any difference, I'm on ubuntu 11.04 64bit running in classic mode

Ubuntu :: Current Theme Defaults To Silver Theme For No Reason Randomly On Login

May 4, 2011

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.

Fedora :: Mouse Theme / Only Some Symbols Change / Other Stay Standard Theme

Feb 21, 2011

I updated my laptop from F12 to F14 via preupgrade. After doing so, the standard mouse theme was active. So I installed the one I like again and set it as mouse theme. For some reason it is now a mixture of the one I installed and the standard theme. If I open a place in nautilus the displayed symbol is the right one while waiting, if I open something in control center I get the standard icon. Same problem with drag and drop, I always get the hand from the standard theme. I also tried the former standard theme Bluecurve and it was the same problem.Can anyone tell me what goes wrong with the theme? What has changed in F14, that the older themes won't work?

Debian Multimedia :: Qpdfview Appears With Generic Theme Instead Of Gtk Theme

Jul 5, 2015

Since I updated my system a couple of days ago, qpdfview uses a generic theme instead of the Gtk theme. Apparently by adding

Code: Select allexport QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=gtk.

to /etc/profile all QT5 apps should use the gtk theme but for some reason this doesn't seem to work.

Adding -style=gtk to the launcher options works but I want to change the theme setting for all QT5 apps.

Debian Multimedia :: Dark Theme Vs Light Theme

Aug 4, 2011

I enjoy using vim from lxterminal with the black background, as well as awesome with its dark theme. I configured xfe manually to be darkish, and i use darklooks as a GTK theme to suit it as well. I could say all my desktop looks pretty dark, which my eyes thank me for. I also use redshift.But problems come along when surfing the web. Most web pages (including this one) have very bright styles. They are not the problem themselves, but switching from my windows hurts my eyes since it's a quick change to a much brighter screen.What would you do, either:

1. Use everything with a brighter background and putting the screen brightness a bit lower. (changing the GTK theme to clearlooks, using lxterminal with a white background, etc.)

2. Use some color theme with uzbl so that pages would look much darker. (like when you set manually the text and background colors in Firefox/Iceweasel)

I would myself go with the second one if most pages wouldn't look that bad when modified that way. For example, many pages use non-transparent images with white backgrounds on white pages, so if you change the background to black not only it looks horrible but it too is a mess.

Fedora :: Index.theme Does Not Appear To Be Valid Theme

Jun 27, 2009

I'm running Fedora 11 x86_64 (GNOME) and I'm having a problem installing ANY themes from http://art.gnome.org. Any time I try to install a theme I get an error that it's "appears to not be a valid theme" When I first click the install button and navigate to my theme packages, I don't see the [dot] theme file, which is a red-flag. I change to "All files" and I tend to see an "index.theme". Is this the correct file?
