How to install Gnome 3 Gtk 3 and shell themes?

Download Atolm Theme




Click here to download some Best Shell themes

Try my vignesh shell theme

Click here for GTK 3 themes

To install the theme, extract it and copy the Atolm-gtk3 folder to /usr/share/themes/
then use GNOME Tweak Tool to change the GTK theme.

 To install Atolm Mutter theme (for GNOME Shell)
  1. press ALT + F2, enter "gconf-editor"
  2. or sudo gconf-editor
  3. navigate to desktop > gnome > shell > windows 
  4. change the "theme" value to "Atolm-gtk3".
  5. Please note that it's no longer required to copy the theme to ~/.themes/ too for the Mutter theme to work (tested on Fedora 15 and ubuntu natty 11.04 with all the packages up to date).
  6. After changing the Mutter theme, remember to reload Gnome Shell (ALT + F2 and enter "r") or log out.

Burg Bootloader for natty.


Do you think it a booted Os, or a splash of a booting Os?

Can u believe that its a boot loader.


How to install Burg boot loader in Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal?

Open up your favorite terminal gnome-terminal or xterm or konsole.

Add ppa to the software source list.


sudo add-apt-repository ppa:n-muench/burg
sudo apt-get update



Installation


sudo apt -get install burg burg-common burg-emu burg-pc burg-themes burg-themes-common




Use the following commands if the burg is not appeared after rebooting.(Installation of burg to MBR, usually it will be done automatically after burg install).


Remember to substitute ‘hd0′ with the drive on which your MBR is installed. This usually, but not typically, located on your primary HDD.


sudo burg-install hd0
sudo update-burg






Burg ships with a selection of (admittedly pretty) themes by default. To switch/change between theme is simple:
  • Reboot
  • Press ‘T’ on your keyboard when at the BURG screen
  • Using your arrow keys select a theme from the list that appears
  • Hit enter for it to be applied

Amarok | Rediscover music!


For the newbies the default player in ubuntu is banashee.
But I recommend you to try Amarok.
It can be easily installed from ubuntu software center or Synaptic 
or 
the geeky way

Also install the following codecs, the codecs ubuntu recommends is having some problem in my system, these are recommended by the amarok developers.
  • libxine1-ffmpeg
  • gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly

sudo apt-get install libxine1-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly

 
Also try clementine and exaile two mediaplayers inspired by amarok
