Solved ! : How To Update / Upgrade Light-Themes ( Ambiance - Radiance Theme ) In Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx

Updated Version Light-Themes Appears Perfectly In Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx

When this post written, Ubuntu has released their newer releases : Oneiric Ocelot 11.10 and Precise Pangolin 12.04 alphas. But so many people are still comfort using “old” Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. It is all about Unity and Gnome 3 issues which so many people feel discomfort and unsatisfied by both of Gnome Shell and Unity.

And so, many people still hold their Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on because of its so familiar and ultimate usable Gnome 2 desktop. MATE desktop has born as a reincarnation of the old Gnome 2 desktop, but it is still buggy and extremely unstable.

But, there is one interesting issue in the now hot UI issues in Linux Desktop : People really love Ubuntu Ambiance theme in Ubuntu Maverick and newer. It is very good-looking, sexy, but looks very professional and elegant. It feels like “The True Linux Desktop” and even now Ubuntu Ambiance has been ported into another Linux distros.

The problem is, Ambiance theme, which is released first in Ubuntu Lucid, looks ridiculous and fat, looks Grey and ugly in default Ubuntu Lucid Lynx desktop. So people want and have tried to install and upgrade the gtk2-engines-murrine from Maverick into Lucid but failed.

Apparently, we couldn't just install light-themes and gtk2-engines-murrine from the Maverick one into the Lucid system. We need to backport them, and happily, there is someone has backported it and now we could easily download and install those packages into our lovely Ubuntu Lucid Lynx desktop. (Horayyy!)

Installation

We could download them HERE, or HERE and install them manually by :

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

Q4OS 4.6 "Gemini" Review: A Real Hidden Gem

Distro hopping is a fun adventure. It's a pure joy you can only find in GNU/Linux world. It's a nature you want to escape from what I call 'comfort ecosystem'. You need to play, trying something new even for a few little differences. For a long time I've been using Ubuntu family as my daily driver. The main reason is probably just same as any other Ubuntu user: it's reliable. You can't go wrong with Ubuntu. It works almost in any device, even for the newest one. It is the ultimate Linux distro you can rely on. However, sometimes, you will feel bored. The temptation to flirt with other new distro is unbearable. There are a lot of hot new Linux distros waiting to try. A Real Hidden Gem I've known this distro for a quite long time. At first, it offered Trinity Desktop as the main desktop, which brings me the sweet memories about KDE3. It is simply fast, stable, almost without any issue, and it is based on Debian. I install it on my old machine and I love t...

How To Install Mac OS X Lion Theme On Lubuntu / LXDE

Lubuntu 12.04 with Mac OS X Lion Theme, xcompmgr & cairo-dock [click to enlarge] Mac OS X is the special one in the Desktop market. So many people admire it because of its beauty, safety (yes, it is an UNIX) and its profesional image as “an OS for profesional modern art designer”. Yeah, Mac OS X has beautiful look and I do like its look-n-feel. And so, there are so many theme patcher to make our Microsoft Windows or Linux OS become Mac OS X in the appearance. In Linux Desktop, there are some project specialized in designing theme transformation pack to make our Linux desktop to be looked like Mac OS X. The most popular project probably is Mac4Lin.

QMMP Skins Pack for Ubuntu/Debian

QMMP is a great Winamp Like music player. For me, this is the greatest current living Winamp Like Music Player in Linux (Audacious seems to be more “gtk” interfaced music player than classic winamp). This is based on QT but works smooth and fast enough in gtk based desktops (lxde, xfce, gnome). For you that don't know yet what is QMMP, this is a popular app and installable easily by apt in Ubuntu and or Debian (squeeze, wheezy, sid) : sudo apt-get install qmmp Because of this, I decided to pack some cool Winamp classic skins to be a Debian package to fullfil the lack of additional skins in default QMMP installation. These are the skins : AmpBurger Bang & Olufsen DaizedAmp iTunesLeopard Kenwood-KDC-2019 Rapture s1-1.5d Winamp5-XMMS Winamp Classic And this is the file qmmp-skins-pack-0.1-all.deb you can download and install it to eyecandy your QMMP Player. Happy Linuxing !
