GTK Themes in Linux

Ubuntu Linux, along with many other GNU/Linux distributions, comes with the Gnome Desktop Environment by default. There are a great number of themes available and more and more being added every day. However, some of the better themes require the pixmap engine to be installed, without it, the themes will install, but will fail to render partially or entirely correctly.

In Ubuntu you can easily correct this by installing the pixmap engine, simply type the following into a terminal window:

sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-pixbuf

and you are on your way to getting amazing themes and great new looks to your desktop!

For themes and information, visit Gnome-Look.org
