    Unity Shell Themes

    Hello I am trying to customize my desktop environment and I am looking themes for windows and Unity, I remember there was one called Clearlooks a couples of version ago. What are the packages that I can download to change the Unity shell appearence or the whole desktop?

    Thank you, any link to a tutorial on how to do it will be cool.

    Here is a link to a new version of Clear Looks .

    (Installing Downloaded Themes / Icons Ubuntu 11.10)

    Use GTK3 only themes for Ubuntu 11.10 .http://gnome-look.org/index.php?xcon...54be2b18ba8f3f

    Download and fully extract all the packages .

    Install the Gnome Tweak Tool / Advanced Settings from the software center for making theme selections.

    (Single User) Create a .themes and .icons folder in home / hidden folders . Use Ctrl + H to open the hidden folder option in Nautilus .

    (All Users) Use gksudo nautilus in the terminal to open the file system and navigate to / usr / share / themes or icons .

    Place the folders in either location making theme selections using Advanced Settings . Logout - in may be required .

    Thanks for the info, I am going to try it out. I guess there is not a way to change the current appearence of Unity?

    If you are using Unity 3D with the CCSM installed open it up and select the Unity plug-in and there are some settings there . If you are using Unity 2D you can add this application to do some of the same things . http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/12/u...ftware-centre/
