Overglossed GTK2 Theme with hot icons and Obsidian Cursors in Ubuntu Gutsy or Heron!



Ok I found an other awesome theme for Ubuntu, you gotta check this out, here is how I got my box setup....

Ok lets install this baby!

First lets grab Overglossed theme and install it!

wget http://ubuntu-debs.googlecode.com/files/Overglossed.tar.gz
tar zxvf Overglossed.tar.gz
sudo mv $HOME/Desktop/Overglossed /usr/share/themes
sudo chmod 777 /usr/share/themes/Overglossed/overglossed.jpg

Now... Lets install the black/white 2 style icon pack!

wget http://ubuntu-debs.googlecode.com/files/black-white_2-Style.tar.gz
tar zxvf black-white_2-Style.tar.gz
sudo mv black-white_2-Style/ /usr/share/icons

Now lets set up the Obsidian Cursor theme:

wget http://ubuntu-debs.googlecode.com/files/Obsidian.tar.gz
tar zxvf Obsidian.tar.gz
sudo mv Obsidian/ /usr/share/icons


Ok now the fun part, simply go to System->Preferences->Appearance and select Overglossed as the theme and select the black white 2 style icon pack and go into cursor settings and select Obsidian, enjoy!

    I like the overall feel of the theme, just a bit too blue menues for my taste.

    I also prefer my Glassy icons.

    Btw, change:
    sudo mv $HOME/Desktop/Overglossed /usr/share/themes

    To:
    sudo mv $HOME/Overglossed /usr/share/themes

    As the theme is unpacked directly to the home folder, not the desktop, in the previous step.

    Hi Hi
    I am using it and it is great... but when I use openoffice apps the menu tab is Black text on black background when not highlighted. I hate this. any way to get around it? I will send U screenies if you want
