  1. title Ubuntu Eye Candy

There are many ways to customize Ubuntu to look cooler. If you've got any cool additions, add any fairly short items to this page, and add longer items to their own pages with links from here.

目录

[编辑] Wallpaper

To change wallpaper, right-click on your desktop and choose Change Desktop Background. Pick a wallpaper from the list or choose the Add Wallpaper button to add an image file to the list.

[编辑] Desktop Themes

Ubuntu has many themes, and many more can be downloaded from websites. To change themes on Ubuntu 7.10 (gutsy) and 8.04 LTS (hardy):

  • Click System → Preferences → Appearance.

On previous versions of ubuntu:

  • Click System → Preferences → Theme

UbuntuEyeCandy?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=ThemePreferencesNew.png Drag downloaded theme files onto the Theme Manager to make them appear in the list. Themes can have:

  • Controls - sometimes called GTK Themes
  • Window Borders - sometimes called Metacity Themes
  • Icons.

Most themes include all of these items, some have only one - you can find those by clicking the Customize or Theme Details button. Here you can also mix and match elements from different themes.

[编辑] Changing Login Window (GDM) Themes

UbuntuEyeCandy?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=LoginWindow.png The login window is also sometimes called 'Gnome Desktop Manager (GDM)'. In Ubuntu 6.06 and 7.04:

  • Click System → Administration → Login Window.

To install new login screen themes, save the .tar.gz with your theme on it to the directory of your choice. In the Login Screen program, press the Install New Theme button, find your new theme's file, and press the Install button. Then simply select the new theme from the list of available themes. You can also set it up to pick a random theme on every boot, rather than picking just one theme.

[编辑] Changing the Gnome Splash Screen

Ubuntu 6.06 and 7.04:

  • Install gnome-splashscreen-manager. Start it by selecting System → Preferences → Splash Screen.
  • Install new splash screens with the 'Install' button by navigating to the file you want to use for your splash.

[编辑] Changing the Grub Splash Screen

Ubuntu 8.04, 7.10 and 7.04:

  • The Grub Splash Screen is an image that is displayed as a background when you're selecting which OS to boot - by default, there is none. If you want to set an image/change an existing one, visit the Grub How To page.

[编辑] Changing the Colored Background Splash Screen

Originally a brownish color to match the Ubuntu theme, it does not quite fit with other themes and might want to be changed. Enter the gdm.conf file (sudo gedit /etc/gdm/gdm.conf). About two-thirds of the way down you will see the lines: BackgroundColor=#dab082 GraphicalThemedColor=#dab082 Change it to what you like. For all black, use: BackgroundColor=#000000 GraphicalThemedColor=#000000

[编辑] Changing Mouse Cursor Themes

Ubuntu 6.06 and 7.04:

  • Download the theme to an easily accessible location; ~/Desktop is good.
  • Install the gcursor package via Synaptic Package Manager or apt-get.
  • Start gcursor with System → Preferences → Cursor Selection.
  • Select a theme, or click 'Install theme' and select the compressed file to add it.
  • Once you're finished, select the theme you want to use and click "Close"

[编辑] Getting Regular Art Updates

[编辑] Ubuntu Calendar

The Ubuntu Calendar is a regularly updated package containing this month's Ubuntu-themed desktop wallpaper. Just install ubuntu-calendar - see Installing Software, then click System → Preferences → Desktop Background. You'll find 'Ubuntu Monthly Calendar' and 'Ubuntu Monthly Calendar Widescreen' added to the list.

[编辑] Gnome Art Manager

Gnome Art provides an easy way to fetch backgrounds, themes, login screen art, and more from art.gnome.org. Just install gnome-art. See Installing Software, and click System → Preferences → Art Manager. Use the Art menu to select the category you wish to view.
