Ambiance and Radiance Evolved


Modified versions of Ubuntu's default themes...

Installation on Ubuntu 11.10


Type the following on a terminal:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:victored/light-themes-evolved
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

USING GNOME SHELL?
If that's the case, install gnome-tweak-tool and set Ambiance-GS as your GTK+ and Window theme.

Installation on Ubuntu 11.04 (Unity Only)



sudo add-apt-repository ppa:victored/ambiance-evolution

Now open the Update Manager, click on Check and then Install Updates

IMPORTANT: This will upgrade your current light-themes (Ambiance and Radiance) package, so you won't be able to use the default themes anymore (unless you uninstall the themes - see below). You'll get all the required packages from there :D

THE REQUIRED ICON THEME IS PROVIDED THROUGH THE PPA

Please remove any previous version of the Ambiance and/or Radiance theme under your ~./themes folder


Installation on Ubuntu 10.10 and 11.04 (Classic session)



Add the theme's PPA. Just type the following on a terminal:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:victored/ambiance-evolution

Now install the themes:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install light-themes-evolution-classic

IMPORTANT: You can use this version alongside Ubuntu's default light themes. If you added the PPA earlier and upgraded the light themes on Ubuntu 10.10, please follow the instructions above and then downgrade the light-themes package...




Uninstalling the themes



UNITY VERSION (Ubuntu 11.04)

If for some reason you need to remove these themes, you can revert the changes [made by this PPA] typing the following on a terminal (CRTL+Alt+T):

sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
sudo ppa-purge ppa:victored/ambiance-evolution


After that, you'll system will be as it was before ;)

Hi, I think the nautilus panel look so striking, because it is totally black. I think the grey color (like Marlin, it looks awesome) is more visually appropriate. But, thanks you for your work.

Yeah, I think I'll switch back to the light sidebar in the coming version. Not sure though

Hi, me too!

I'll start porting it to GTK+ 3.3 as soon as I have the time to do it. You can track the progress in launchpad (see the description above).

I'm also open to merge proposals or any kind of help :)
