Linux Ubuntu Customization Guide (tested on Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 x86) just installed Ubuntu looks like this:
graphics simple and pleasant, but eventually get bored, so let's see how to make it more attractive.
Tip 1: Refer to www.gnome-look.org to download sets of icons, cursors, wallpapers etc.. CHANGE THE DESKTOP BACKGROUND - Click with the right mouse button and select your desktop wallpaper
Sets - using the Add button
+ add all the backgrounds you want. A good site to which to retrieve good desktop for any resolution www.interfacelift.com.
CHANGE THE SET OF ICONS - Click with the right mouse button and select your desktop wallpaper
Set - Select the tab
Theme, click on the Customize button
, select the
Icons , you may now select the set of icons you want from the menu.
All the icons are saved in the
/ usr / share / icons so if you want to add more icons do not have to do is put the icons in that folder along with the others. I am posting immediately a nice set found on gnome-look,
clicca qui per scaricare . Per copiare le nuove icone nella cartella Icons, estraete sul desktop il contenuto del file compresso,quindi quando avrete sul desktop la cartella Mac_OS_X_Leopard, aprite il terminale (selezionabile dal menù nella sezione Accessori) e digitate:
-
cd ~/Scrivania -
sudo mv Mac_OS_X_Leopard /usr/share/icons Ora è stato aggiunto il nuovo set di icone, sarà selezionabile tramite il menù
Tip 2: Per incollare il testo sul terminale premere MAIUSC + Ins . INSTALLARE UN MANAGER FOR WINDOWS I would say that it can be much more pleasant to have a selector window with a nice graphic, but to enable it you must have a good enough graphics card and have at least enabled the visual effects of Ubuntu Normal (right-click on the desktop , Set wallpaper-> Visual Effects). Open the Synaptic package manager (System-> Administration-> Synaptic Package Manager), click on Search
and write
avant window navigator. Click on the squares corresponding to
avant-window-navigator and select Mark for Installation , then click the Apply button
. When will the installation is finished you will have the program in the main menu click Accessories.
To allow the manager to start automatically when you log on Ubuntu
go to System-> Preferences-> Sessions , click on the Add button
, and put this:
Name:
AWN Command: avant-window- navigator Well, now we've changed the desktop background, the set of icons, and added Avant Window Navigator, here is that the Ubuntu desktop has another face:
ADD / REMOVE ICONS ON DESKTOP icons on the desktop such as "My Computer" or "Trash", which by default are on ubuntu, you can safely add,
go to System-> Preferences-> Main Menu , in the new window that appears select System Tools
from the menu on the left and then right onto activated
Configuration Editor. Close the window, go to the main menu and click
System Tools-> Configuration Editor ,
then go to apps-> nautilus-> desktop and choose which icons appear on desktop.
customize the effects GRAPHIC AND CHANGE THE EDGES OF WINDOWS I send you this guide for this part:
pc expert online ADD ITEMS ON THE DESKTOP objects to which I refer are: clocks, calendars, weather forecasts and other pleasant futility that encumbers the machine but are, as they say, "eyecandy", that is beautiful to see.
We must first install a program that handles these items on your desktop, then go in our beloved synaptic package manager and install gdesklets
, now started from the menu (Accessories-> gDesklets) we can already use some object (if you can add other downloaded). Learning about: selezioniamo
Date/Time dal menù a sinistra e poi scegliamo
Clock nel menù a destra; clicchiamo su
File->Run Selected Desklet..." e posizioniamo l'orologio sul desktop. Ora possiamo personalizzarlo un pochino cliccando sopra l'orologio con il tasto destro del mouse e selezionando
Configure Desklet . Per avviare in automatico il programma basta andare su
Sistema->Preferenze->Sessioni e aggiungere
Nome: gDesklets
Comando: gdesklets shell
Ora la nostra distro con l'orologio e le icone sul desktop diventa ancora più bella:
