How can I install Emerald Theme Manager, and switch between Emerald and Metacity themes?
Solution 1
Another solution is to install emerald
version 0.9.5 via PPA :
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install emerald
After installation, press Alt+F2 and type emerald --replace
.
And if u want to get back to gtk themes press Alt+F2 and type gtk-window-decorator --replace
.

Solution 2
Since emerald
is not in the Ubuntu repos in 11.10, this thread has a workaround to install emerald
. To use emerald
, press Alt+F2 then type emerald --replace
. If you're going to stick with emerald
, add the command to your startup applications. To go back to Metacity, type this: gtk-window-decorator --replace
.

I want to get Emerald Theme Manager to work in Ubuntu 11.10 and activate its themes. Also, I want to be able to switch between Emerald themes and the originally installed (Metacity) themes. How do I do it?
