New Elementary look fror my Ubuntu Maverick Desktop
This beautiful and clean look comes with Elementary theme and icons, the Elementary Nautilus variant, which allow to remove menu and introduce some cleanup in the file browser, and the Hide Menu extension for Firefox.
Let's start with Elementary theme: what is needed is to install Elementary and then choose the theme in System | Preferences | Appeareance.
There are two ways to install the theme:
The easy way:
From a terminal:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:elementaryart/ppa sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install elementary-icon-theme elementary-theme elementary-wallpapers
To get the terminal, press CTRL+ALT+T or launch it from the Application menu, Accessories.
The hard way:
From Applications menu, choos Software Sources.
Now fro the menu, Edit | Software Sources
Now choose the Other Software tab, press add and finally insert:
ppa:elementaryart/ppa
Now after reloading the sources, elementary theme, icons and wallpapers will be available.
In the end
Just choose the theme from the System | Preferences | Appeareance
Elementary Nautilus Variant
Same way as before, here is the code for the plain
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:am-monkeyd/nautilus-elementary-ppa sudo apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
This means the repository to add is: ppa:am-monkeyd/nautilus-elementary-ppa and there is nothing to install, just perform a regular system update and upgrade.
Remove Firefox Menu
With this extension and live happy.
