You can get the font installing guide here: *ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/09/09/installing-microsoft-fonts/

Its for the prev. version of Ubuntu (7.04, Feisty) but works well on 7.10 (gutsy).

You can get addiitonal fonts here: *www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/MS+True+Type+core+fonts?content=19259
Just use the method prakash mentioned to install them

Can someone help me install this --> *gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Mac4Lin+ver.0.4+Emerald+Theme?content=71995

 

[FilledVoid]

Lol infra_red_dude should be able to help you with that XD. You might post the error you get also on install.

 

[nvidia]

^Yeah.. Was looking for him..
I downloaded it from SourceForge but i cant find the GTK metacity theme.tar.gz or whatever the file name was in the pdf...

 

[infra_red_dude]

Dude.. just extract the Mac4Lin_part_xxx.tar.gz files. You will find all the necessary resources in separate folders. This is clearly given in the documentation. Read that.

 

[nvidia]

Goto System > Preferences >
Appearance. Click Install.
Browse and choose the
Mac4Lin GTK Metacity
Theme .tar.gz file (wherever it
is extracted).

But in the GTK Metacity Folder there are 4 .tar.gz files.
Mac4Lin_GTK_Graphite_v0.4.tar.gz
Mac4Lin_GTK_MacMenu_0.4.tar.gz
Mac4Lin_GTK_MacMenu_Graphite_v0.4.tar.gz
Mac4Lin_GTK_v0.4.tar.gz
But i there is no metacity theme.tar.gz!

 

[Faun]

Do one thing ,extract these files to separate folders and then place all of them into .themes folder if you are on Gnome.

To view hidden folder in nautilus press "CTRL+h"

Now open System>Preferences>Appearance
and select by pressing customize button and clicky clicky coo

 

[infra_red_dude]

But in the GTK Metacity Folder there are 4 .tar.gz files.
Mac4Lin_GTK_Graphite_v0.4.tar.gz
Mac4Lin_GTK_MacMenu_0.4.tar.gz
Mac4Lin_GTK_MacMenu_Graphite_v0.4.tar.gz
Mac4Lin_GTK_v0.4.tar.gz
But i there is no metacity theme.tar.gz!

All the .tar.gz files contain both GTK and Metacity themes.
