Ubuntu Customization Guide v2..

[CadCrazy]

@ adi First of all don't use large font. It seems as if you are screaming.I'll try to provide offline packages for it as soon as i get some time for experiments.

After customizing my desktop to Mac Leopard, I am not able to get rid of this theme. Even if i change theme to clearlook , i am not able to get it back. Also i changed cursor to small red type and now its also became permanent even if change it to default. Whats wrong ??????????

that means ur other themes installed via apt/synaptic are corrupted by having some icons missing etc.for that(gui method) go to synaptic manager and mark all those themes there like gtk2-engines-clearlooks for reinstall reinstalling will help getting things correct.
for cursor problem,install package galternatives and mark the correct theme(default or whatever u prefer) for use

I guess you are changing theme from Windows Border .. Change the theme from Control *www.imgx.org/pthumbs/small/3491/Screenshot-1.png

Emerald has been applied & now I get the minimize close buttons on the left hand side.

I also applied Leopard icons.

What about Widgets? I m installing screen lets right now, let's see if they work.

You can also install the package: gDesklets from Synaptic for widgets.

Why are you so obsessed with gdesklets even I can see atleast 1 in your screen shot

 

[infra_red_dude]

Lolz.. I'm not obsessed with "gDesklets". Just mentioned. Another alternative is aDesklets.

BTW, which screenshot did you see them? I don't use them (except once I guess when I posted in the Desktop screenshot thread).

Goto System> Preferences>Sessions , and add a new entry as "avant-window-navigator" and you are done
