Posts Tagged ‘GDM’

I just found a project that aims to provide complete themes for gnome desktop (i.e. GDM, GTK, Metacity, Emerald, Icons and wallpaper) which are very cool the project is called Bisigi whatever that means!

any way there is like 10 complete sets at the moment but there is more to come to install on ubuntu 9.04 you need the following:

1 – Add the key for the repository

Open a terminal and do:

2 – Add the repository

Add those lines at the end of your sources.list (always in a terminal):
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

• pour jaunty (9.04)
• pour intrepid (8.10)
• pour hardy (8.04)

3 - Install Themes

Then open a terminal and do: (this command install all themes. If you want to install only one theme, go look here)
sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install zgegblog-themes
or click on apt://zgegblog-themes

This is suggestion of a colmplete pack for theming you Ubuntu to have a smooth and elegant black look and feel:

• GDM: Of course you need an elegant GDM like the one I’ve just created . DOWNLOAD IT and you can install it by going to:

System –> Administration –> Login Window

Go to “Local” tab and press “Add”, Navigate to the place where you downloaded the GDM archive. select it and close. now you have the GDM is installed you can select it from the dialogue and close.

• Icon pack: Human – O2 is a very nice Icon pack with many options, DOWNLOAD IT then extract the archive file you will find a “install.sh” file double click on it and follow the instructions to install it I have chosen the Manilla folders…

• GTK-2 : you will like the moomex theme when you see it, DOWNLOAD IT and install it by going to:

System –> Preferences –> Appearance

Click on install, Navigate to the place where you downloaded the theme archive. add it then the theme will suggest a font accept it, and we’re set…

• Emerald theme: am using a theme called radial, DOWNLOAD IT and install it using Emerald theme manager.
• Wallpaper can be found here.

I like it very much, hope you too will like it

I was fooling around when I decided that I need a GDM that goes with the theme am using on my Ibex so I searched for a tutorial on how to make a GDM and started working…

It is based on a GDM I had for a long time called debian elegant from http://zuhika.fw.hu/,

I also used an Ubuntu sticker from http://deviantdark.deviantart.com/art/Ubuntu-Stickers-63103968

I hope you like it as I do

I uploaded it to gnome look you can find it at this link
