Make sure you're only using Slight Hinting for fonts.

Maybe something like this would be helpful for you?

In reality, to explain it better, it's a paradigm shift from Desktop based interaction to Workspace...

You must not have gnome-themes or gnome-themes-standard installed.

GTK2 apps look similar but not the same, it's true. But there's no way around it. There was a lot of new features introduced in GTK3 that allow the theme to be the way it is. All gnome-core apps were...

For Debian stuff it's currently still in the Experimental repositories so it's not a big thing yet. Maybe in the next 6 months. For Fedora/openSuse it's a much bigger deal.

The last tells you to use this one:

Which is what I'm using mostly problem free (well, basically completely problem free at this point).

Part of the bigger icons was to A) Look a bit nicer B) Decrease the number of icons on screen at once (it looked like a mess before) C) Give more space for application titles.

As for finding...

To not get any weird display bugs with the gdm background or window borders/contents/etc, you MUST have the packages:


gnome-themes
gnome-themes-standard
gnome-icon-theme...

It's not really supposed to be intuitive (pressing Alt to shut down). Suspend is the default behavior if your computer supports it otherwise you're supposed to:

A) Log out and shut down.

Alt+F2
killall -9 notify-osd

Note that the second one restarts the Shell. This is handy for things like if you end up playing with JS files, or get some updates to...

They would know it by pressing the power button. See, we've made it okay to use again!

Don't know on the UK keyboard layout. For the background you'd have to probably change the image file being referenced by the gdm theme. There should be a shutdown on the lower bar in GDM.

Hold...

It did.

It's not a bug. You can still minimize by right clicking the title bar. Maximizing is now gestural: Simply drag the window to the top to fill the screen or to either side to do side by side tiling....

@23dornot23d: Is it only when using the overview or message tray, and only when there's an old-style (legacy) system tray icon in the message tray? Because that's a known issue.

I could have you...

Someone will probably get mad at me, but if you really want it to work right now:


sudo dpkg -i --force-all /var/cache/apt/archives/gnome-themes-standard_3.0.0-1~~build1_amd64.deb

Otherwise...

You're welcome. I edited my post btw with a recentish copy of the Adwaita theme for those it doesn't seem to be working for.

Also make sure you have the packages gnome-themes,...

A good simple strategy if you see problems is to:


sudo aptitude dist-upgrade

It will give you options instead of making decisions for you. You can see what packages are possibly going to...

sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome

I notice it looks like the Adwaita theme isn't working for you.

Hmmm I don't see it in /usr/share/themes/ on my box either (I'm also using a jhbuild...

There should be at the bottom when you are typing your password.

You want to use the Gnome Shell session.

sudo apt-get install mutter

This wasn't done for me by default. Even if Shell doesn't run you can always:


DISPLAY=:0 mutter --replace &
DISPLAY=:0 gnome-panel &
from a VT. This will give...

ppa-purge does work. You just have to finagle a bit. I wouldn't recommend doing anything though unless you are REALLY familiar with apt, aptitude, package breakages, and what the suggested...

I just left gnome-icon-theme "at its current version". No package conflict then.

Now it's a waiting game for gnome-icon-theme-symbolic. The 3.0 build was just released a little over a day ago.

Has anyone tried custom compiling the kernel (either 2.6.33 or higher) as described in the OP on 32 bit install and seeing if the wireless works better? I'm definitely not loving the speed...
