How to install themes in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Solution 1
If the .themes
directory doesn't exist in your user's /home
directory, you can just create it, then put any downloaded themes in there.
This alone will not install the theme, that's where the unity-tweak-tool
comes in. This guide is nice and clear, they only add the Numix ppa as an example, but the rest of the instructions should be applicable.
Solution 2
If you wanna install a gtk/unity theme, then put it in ~/.themes
; if you wanna install a icon/cursor theme, put it in ~/.icons
. Then use unity-tweak-tool
to choose the one you like.
Solution 3
Try this command
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:numix/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install numix-icon-theme numix-icon-theme-circle
You can also change theme using "ubuntu tweek" tool this is better than "unity tweak"
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tualatrix/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-tweak

how can I install other themes in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS? I've tried some methods but none of them work.
1) first, I tried to put my new themes in
~/.themes
folder, but that folder doesn't exist...2) after that I had tried to install Unity Tweaks Tool, but with this I can add what themes I want from other site, for example http://www.ubuntuthemes.org/ . If I want to download one or more themes from this site I can used it with that program, or I don't know how..
3) and the last solution that I had found,(which didn't work for me) was to put my themes in
/urs/share/theme
and reboot after that. But it still didn't work.So, does anyone have any idea of how can I solve this problem? How I can add more themes to my Ubuntu 14.04 LTS?
