Howto: Make Ubuntu look like fedora with the Nodoka Theme
[updated] Upgraded nodoka engine to fedore core 9's and added echo-icon-set from git
I really dont like fedora, but its theme is nice and crisp, check it out, if you dont like it rm -rf :)
- Install build-essential and libgtk2.0-dev packages:
sudo apt-get install build-essential libgtk2.0-dev
- Download Nodoka GTK+ engine 0.6 from here
dpkg -i gtk-nodoka-engine_0.6-1_i386.deb
Install theme- Get Nodoka theme 0.3.90 from here. Then execute command in terminal:
tar zxvf nodoka-theme-gnome-0.3.90.tar.gz
- copy the Nodoka folder to themes folder:
cd nodoka-theme-gnome-0.3.90/
sudo cp -r Nodoka/ /usr/share/themes/ - Grab the echo icon set & install it
wget http://ubuntu-debs.googlecode.com/files/echoicons.tar.gz
tar zxvf echoicons.tar.gz
sudo cp -R Echo /usr/share/icons/Use theme
Click System → Preferences → Theme menu command. In Theme Preferences dialog, choose Nodoka item. Also click on the customize tab then click on icons and select "Echo"
Enjoy
