11.10 Gnome 3 themes extension

**CaptainMark** · October 10th, 2011

Can anyone tell me the name of the package or how to find/download the gnome-tweak user-theme extension mentioned in this link http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/intro...ol-gui-to.html

You can install gnome-tweak-tool from the Ubuntu repo by using Synaptic Pkg Mgr. You can get the theme extension and more HERE.

Hey,

- Open a terminal
- Paste this:sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool
- Wait for it to install
- You can find it in your programs and click it, or launch it from the terminal command line (sudo gnome-tweak-tool)

Regards,
Effenberg

The method that worked for me is discussed in this post: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/offic...xtensions.html

Basically, make sure your gnome shell is up to date (should be 3.2) and add the user-theme extension from the Webupd8 PPA.

In the future, extensions.gnome.org should allow for easy installation of themes, but for now, the webup8 PPA has worked well for me.

does anyone else notice this problem, if i try to use a transparent theme then i can see the nautilus menu bar for the desktop behind gnome-shells top-bar (see attached screenshot, on the left it merges with the activities tab) , is there a way to disable the menu bar for the desktop?

I think if you set "Have file manager handle the desktop" to NO in gnome-tweak-tool, then it goes away?

I got the Tron Legacy theme from Deviant Art ..... TRON THEME

I also used the Elegant Awoken Icons .....

I also liked it when I had it like this - with a different tron wallpaper - but dual screen ....

Hope this helps ....
