Thumbs Up The Ultimate Ubuntu Customization Guide!

The Ultimate Ubuntu Customization Guide


Open Source has always been 1 step ahead of Windows/OSX as its Open for all and its free when Gaming is not taken into consideration . There are many OS in Open Source World but choosing the right one is tough , the main dominator's of Open Source OS department are Open Suse, Ubuntu and Fedora ..

Among these three the former two are the most stable in the Open Source world. Open Suse is mainly considered for high end Tux user, while Ubuntu is for any one even for one whose hasn't use Linux.

While other OS in Linux world are also there some newly emerged stars in this arena are Mandriva this is mainly for newbie. while some other are Slax, Dynebolic. Today all Os companies are at their peak M$ launched Vista , Apple launched Leapord while there are newer version of Linux .This guide I bring up for those who are newbie in Ubuntu customization and are new to Open Source
world .. Since two new OS i.e Vista and Leapord have been released. Both these Os are full of eye candy. So this guide wll be focusing on customizing the Ubuntu to much similar looking Vista and OSX Leapord.

I have tried to kept the guide as simple as I can so that even a newbie can
understand how to make changes.

Points to Ponder

This guide is made to customize Ubuntu Feisty Fawn aka Ubuntu 7.04 . If you did not know where to get it then look here Go: Ubuntu Feisty Fawn Free . Here you will find all the essential information how to get Ubuntu OS. If you face any problem while installing the Os then refer Montylee guide here Ubuntu Feisty Fawn Installation guide .

“The themes icon set , wallpaper ,desklets used while
customization the Operating System are ® to thier
respective owner. Copying and use of those
application are free and can be distributed without
the owner permission.”

Apart from the theme icon set posted you can get your own choice icon set , theme and wallpaper from Gnome *Look . So you can install themes, screensaver, icons and all from the above link.

Scrrenlets is pretty cool, and plays nicely with Beryl, only prob I have is limited widgets that are useful. The widget bar is so so, but the launcher is pretty good.
Another useful one.. is Avant Window Manager for docking apps avant-window-navigator - Google Code and for help installing go to Avant Window Navigator Forum - Read this topic before posting anything!
