Great themes, easy install!

Post by ryandburnett »

Hello,

This stuff is going around all of the time, and its not like Mint dosent look brilliant at Default, but most wanna "pimp" it up a little. There are theme and stuff everywhere but these guys have combined loads of cool themes into a package that you install from the Terminal. These themes are so good you could actually see then in Windows (dont kill me for that, they do look nice!) and OSX. You can see the project page here otherwise follow these inatllation instructions:

- Open Terminal

- Copy and paste this command, then hit return...

Code: Select all

gpg --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371 --recv-key 881574DE && gpg -a --export 881574DE | sudo apt-key add -
- Next do the following commands in Terminal...

Code: Select all

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
- Add the following lines to the end of the sources list for the latest version of Mint...

Code: Select all

## Thèmes du projet bisigi
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/bisigi/ppa/ubuntu karmic main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/bisigi/ppa/ubuntu karmic main
- Now update the software sources by doing the following command in terminal...

Code: Select all

sudo aptitude update
- Finnaly install the themes by doing the following command in Terminal...

Code: Select all

sudo aptitude install bisigi-themes
Thats it your all set! You can activate these stunning themes in the usual way, Appearance/Themes, it will set everything, including the matching wallaper is you choose so!
