I installed Xubuntu 16.04 in vmware.   I wanted a pretty theme and installed   I ran  apt-get install libgtk-3-dev autoconf automake   Because it is Xfce, I disabled some features and installed:  ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --disable-gnome-shell --disable-unity --disable-metacity --disable-cinnamon sudo make install   But doing this has just made my window backgrounds black      In contrast, here's the official pic:    How do I apply the theme correctly?

is supposed to be compatible with XFCE. Fonts and cursors work, but when I apply the themes and icons on Xubuntu 16.04, nothing happens.  How can I apply these icons and themes (or something similar) on Xubuntu 16.04?

I've reading about about the Cinnamon Desktop through this Q&amp;A:  Also I've been reading these theming questions:     I'm trying to understand downloading &amp; installing themes.  I see that I can download GTK2 &amp; GTK3 but I'm unsure I understand the differences. I see there are themes such as Unity Themes, Gnome-Shell themes from websites such as  How do I apply these themes to Cinnamon?  I'm new to Cinnamon so a beginners guide would be very useful.

I'm trying to apply the logo onto the glossy part and cycles render ignores the transparency and just makes it black.     I've tried both png and tga using the multiple builds of blender. And it looks weird in texture mode even though the uv map shows transparency.

I use Kubuntu 19.10 and when I open GNOME apps like Nautilus or Gedit as root, they do not show in theme (Qogir-dark) that  I choose for GNOME apps, but in some strange black and white theme.   I tried to put Qogir folder to /.themes, but nothing (currently it is in /usr/share/themes). How can I correct that?

I just installed the Gnome Tweak Tool in order to change my icon theme to Faenza, but it seems to have installed some other program named Caribou, which I think is an onscreen keyboard program, with it. This is absolutely useless for me, and frankly, I hate the fact that it was installed silently and without my permission. When I go to uninstall it, it says that it's part of gnome-shell and requires the un-installation of that as well. What do I do?

I am using firefox developer edition.  I have it configured with several programs that give it a dark theme.  My biggest problem with it is that because my eyes adjust to the screen being dark, the flash of unstyled content hurts my eyes whenever I open a web page.  Currently what I have done is to enable the dark theme, which does a good job taking care of the tab and url bar.  For the pages that are protected, I use ShadowFox to color them dark as well.  I then configured an addon called Dark Background and Light Text to color all of the webpages.  I have tried editing the display foreground and background color in about:config.  I have the developer theme set to dark.  Shadowfox takes care of editing the userChrome file.    Now my biggest problem is with websites like google.  With google, I get the original light colors for about a full second before the custom colors appear.  Most sites are not that bad, but all follow the same trend, showing light backgrounds before the dark ones.  Editing the display colors in about:config helped with some sites, but did not affect google at all.  I am wondering if there is any sort of configuration I can do to fix the fouc. I am perfectly willing to go as far as modifying the base colors in the source code if I need to.  I have not been able to find anything useful on the internet.  Is there anything I am able to do about this? Maybe change the color values in the source code?

I am using nautilus on xfce and oneiric, but the desktop of nautilus shows up although I have activated it via gconf, e.g. by  gconftool-2 \                                                                    --type bool \              --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop false   I remember this had worked on previous versions of Ubuntu.

I'm using Xubuntu 16.04 on a laptop, which means a confined screen space and a desperate need for global menu. I've tried  I've tried  (the classic option), but it looks like it hasn't been updated for 16.04 yet. Then I discovered that it's in the official repos, but still it doesn't work. When I try to add the plugin to a panel the only result is panel becoming opaque.  I've also tried  (the alternative version), but I failed to understand how to compile it.  Is there a way to get global menu working in 16.04, or I should just relax and wait for topmenu to be updated?

When a page doesn't load immediately, Chromium and every other browser I tried display a white  screen before they get a response from it:    Even though chrome://settings/personal says it's using the GTK+ theme - in my case it's Darklooks, which has a dark background:    Is there a way to avoid this in Chromium? Or, if there isn't, is there a browser that does not have this "issue"?

I upgraded to the latest Xubuntu 13.03 and sometimes borders of my windows (regardless the application) become strangely dashed. I managed to make a screenshot:    The screenshot is with , but the issue is not theme-dependent. I tried multiple themes including the default one for Xubuntu and these dashed borders still appear.  Dashes appear and disappear - they are not permanent. It's annoying. Does anyone know why such dashing appears and how to fix it?    Update: Adding my compositor settings:

I'm trying to figure out why the widgets in GTK3 windows are messed up, whereas widgets in GTK2 windows seem to be okay.  Here we see the file browser , next to the Xfce4 appearance/theme selector.  SpaceFM uses GTK3.  The theme Murrine Gray is selected, which is part of the Debian package murrine-themes:    As you can see, everything looks mostly reasonable -- the menu entries are separated, the file browser tab is distinct.  Things get a bit odd, though, when we switch to the theme Murrina Ealm (also part of murrine-themes):    While the appearance/theme selector itself has changed appearance, SpaceFM has not.  In fact, the only theme I can find to meaningfully change SpaceFM's appearance is High-Contrast (part of the package gnome-accessibility-themes), which changes the rendering of several UI elements:    Things go completely bonkers, however, once I start selecting other themes. Here's SpaceFM with the theme Xfce Dusk selected, which is part of the package gtk3-engines-xfce (thereby strongly suggesting it contains GTK3 support):    Note how the menu has completely collapsed with no borders or separators.  The file browser tab and toolbar icons have similarly lost their borders.  GTK2-based applications do not seem to suffer from this problem; only GTK3 apps.  It's entirely possible that my setup (see below) is simply too weird, but I can't for the life of me imagine which bit(s) are missing and causing the toolkit to lose its mind.  Suggestions welcome.  Distro:  Debian 'Unstable' Desktop Environment:  Xfce4 Window Manager:  Awesome (replacing 'xfwm') GNOME services are not running.

How do I reset my Xfce panels to the default settings that Xubuntu uses?

I have just started to customize my Ubuntu a little bit and found the Arc-Dark theme to be exactly what I am looking for. There are some small things though. The color of the calendar on top is still white, and the font of the notifications and inside the calendar are off. This is what it looks like right now:  I would like to see the calendar being the same darker color, and maybe having the day numbers font in white. Also the font color of the search bar is off. There is text, but it is just as dark as the background.  It's only visible when you hover over the search bar.  How would I go about changing/tweaking these things? Or did I do something wrong during the installation? Edit: UnKNOWn has answered my question (accepted answer). The css-file was, in my instance, found at /usr/share/themes/Arc-Dark/gnome-shell/gnome-shell.css. I made the small changes to .calendar and .search-entry, saved the file (with sudo rights) and reloaded the theme by simply re-applying it with Gnome-Tweaks!

I installed Ubuntu Studio 15.10 and upon that:  sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop   Now on the login screen, I have the default brownish Ubuntu default background.   I tried this as root:  sudo xhost +SI:localuser:lightdm sudo su lightdm -s /bin/bash gsettings set com.canonical.unity-greeter background /usr/share/backgrounds/Tranquil_by_Pat_David.jpg   But this didn't change anything. Also starting the unity-control-center as user lightdm and changing the background there had no effect. I also checked the rights of /usr/share/backgrounds/Tranquil_by_Pat_David.jpg which are globally readable.
