4-5 days of ubuntu and now im just.. srsly. i need some help.
Any file i download from Gnome-look.Org srsly wont work. Screenlets cant be read, any theme doesnt install, only themes ive gotten to work are 2 which does only change the upper bar of my interface frames.
Im getting abit fed up with this.
Currently this is what im trying to customize:
-Look and feel of the upper action bar
-add a "windows 7" kinda bar at bottom (middle), if you look at screens, "big" icons are next to the start menu which are shortcuts (internet, WMP, etc), altho the one i want is not for shortcuts, it should just be squares of the current frames i have (which means just the same frame at buttom as usual with large frames, no text only icon)
-Look and Feel of Cairo-Dock. I dont want to imitate the OS x Bar, i want a new feel, and i want it to be configurated as a sidebar with the stack function, plans is to use it as my media stack viewer for downloaded tvseries.
-New Screenlets. Id like to make them only viewable on frame2 (i have a 4square view, not the cube, just a square with 4 squares in it, screenlet being on second frame)
-Music controller for SongBird as a widget or similar.
Any other customizating, adds or such, plz do tell,
again ive tried reading forums about how to.
i have read:
http://linuxowns.wordpress.com/2008/06/16/guide-to-customizing-ubuntus-look-and-feel/
+ additional google searches and threads on the forum. i may have missread some or even overlook those importent once, but i havnt had any luck at all.
does any1 have any sparetime aveable to help me through the customization? :o
