My Ubuntu is ugly?

[Johnsie]

Any suggestions for making it pretty?

[keplerspeed]

Squint??

I am sure you know how to change the theme...

[the fix it man]

Check out the screenshots thread for some idea. ;)

[Johnsie]

I've tried lots of themes. I think the application developers should have a part to play too though.

[nmccrina]

Install KDE. :)

[SunnyRabbiera]

Gnome look has a lot of themes in it

[bluebyt]

A lot of good themes here:

[calrogman]

sudo aptitude install shiki-colors gnome-colors

[Sealbhach]

This is my favourite theme at the moment, perhaps you could try it out:

http://api.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Sky?content=113964&PHPSESSID=437c4a9d11151f817f0c550d17d109d6

[lovinglinux]

install kde. :)

+1 :)

Everyone is focusing in on the theme, the OP has an agenda extending beyond that..... perhaps ?

[Dark Aspect]

sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager emerald

And of course www.gnome-look.org/ (http://www.gnome-look.org/).

Have a beer.
If still ugly then goto 1.

Haha, genius!

Was a KDE user for 2 years but swapped over to Ubuntu about 6 months ago.

That said I HATE the default themes and colours....horrific!

Then I discovered Mac4Lin (a Mac theme) and I love it. That's MY opinion. Once I've got the install sorted, all the codecs, networking etc I then install the Mac4Lin theme and enjoy a fast safe operating system that just works and looks good.

This could be a narrative of my life, but back on topic.

Given the op's history I would recommend switching to Kubuntu, then going here:

Should be right up your street.

[cariboo]

And how would you as a new user, know the op's history?

[pwnst*r]

maybe they live right up the street.

And how would you as a new user, know the op's history?


Because if you left click over a users name it says "Find More Posts by...". I found this by accident, many other forums offer this facility. I always read the previous posts of people I am responding to. It gives me information so I do not jump to conclusions. Did I break some forum rule by doing so?

As a new user I would like clarification. Did I do something wrong?

[pwnst*r]

nope, but you have a cool username.

[mobilediesel]

nope, but you have a cool username.

"ThePinkPixieOfDoom" is probably one of the coolest usernames I've seen lately!

I think you are being teased.

You said you knew the OP's history, that suggests a bit more knowledge than merely his "posting" history ;)

You only have to read an account holders history of posts and responses to know something about the individual. It is there for all to see. Nothing Machiavellian about it.
