Gnome Icons, themes and window decorator.

2010-07-14 1 min read Fedora Linux

Yesterday, I had tried fusion theme, but that did not work our that good for me. Reasons multifold:

I like the features of GNome
I am used to GNome
Other window managers did not look that lucarative to me.
Compiz was chocking my CPU..
and so on..

So I went back to my GNome but wanted to change the looks so searched enough today to get the right set of Icons and themes. I think I finally got some decent ones and here are the links for the icons that I liked:

bash script to change icon theme to check out all the installed themes (personal)

2010-05-19 2 min read Fedora GNOME Linux

I am really annoyed with the time that is required and the number of clicks that it takes to change the gnome icon theme. So here’s a small script that I wrote to quickly check out all the icon themes that I have in my ~/.icons folder.

#!/bin/bash
[[ ”$1” == ”” ]] && time=5 || time=$1
[[ ”$2” == ”” ]] && (
cd ~/.icons
cont=”y”
echo ”Select one of the icon themes”
echo ”When you like some theme just press Ctrl+c”
for i in *
do
[[ -d $i/cursors ]] || (
echo ”Now trying …. : $i”
gconftool-2 –type string -s /desktop/gnome/interface/icon_theme ”$i”
sleep $time
)
done
) || gconftool-2 –type string -s /desktop/gnome/interface/icon_theme ”$2”

I wrote a blog on bash script to change the icon/cursor theme using a bash script. Lets extend the same concept a little more and use the script to change the gtk theme for gnome and at the same time take a screenshot also.

#!/bin/bash
path=”/tmp/screenshot”
[[ ”$1” == ”” ]] && time=5 || time=$1
[[ ”$2” == ”” ]] && (
cd ~/.themes
cont=”y”
echo ”Select one of the icon themes”
echo ”When you like some theme just press Ctrl+c”
for i in *
do
[[ -d $i/cursors ]] || (
echo ”Now trying …. : $i”
gconftool-2 –type string -s /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_theme ”$i”
sleep 1
j=$(echo ”$path/$i”).jpg
import -window root -quality 95 ”$j”
sleep $time
)
done
) || gconftool-2 –type string -s /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_theme ”$2”
