This is the thread where you can ask all questions you want about adding themes in gnome, creating and editing or exporting themes, changing the way gnome looks and adding/removing desktop icons, etc.
First some basic must visit links:
1. Examples
This is a thread for people to show off their custom linux desktops. There are several good gnome desktops here, and you can get an idea as a newbie as for what to expect here.
2. Mac4Lin
This is infra_red_dude's project for bringing the Macintosh's look and feel to gnome. If you want a no-fuss Leopard look alike in Gnome, go here and bug infra all you want with questions and suggestions, but no questions on that topic here.(Mine is too low class compared to his )
3. G-Tweak UI
This is a software kit that can be used to do simple tasks with the appearence of Gnome. To install, type
or visit the link in the title if you are not able to install it via the code given above.
All its functions are easily understood by just looking at its window, as it just consists of a bunch of self explanatory check boxes and buttons. This is a must install for all of you. Its there in System>Preferences then there are 4 programs for gtweakui.
4. Gnome-Look.org
Thats the website where most of the themes and decorations are housed. Just visit it if you need some eye-candy for your gnome and ask here if you have any troubles.
5. Ubuntu Customisation Guide
Thats a brilliant guide by dark star in our own forums for making your ubuntu look to kill. It makes ubuntu the Handsome Duckling of the OSes.
Happy Theming
