I am trying to configure my ubuntu (13.10) to get this appearance: appearance

I ran into a few problems.

  1. 13.10 uses unity. I followed a tutorial to change it to gnome-classic (as that is what I thought I was looking for after a some research).
  2. It probably wasn't was I was trying to get. I tried changing and fumbling in all the visual settings I could find to no avail.

    • Everything is white in my version.
    • Workspaces in bottom right are missing.
    • Left bottom icon on taskbar is missing.
    • All icons are different.

I am pretty sure I have gone the wrong way but could not find how it was actually supposed to be done. (I followed this tutorial.)

I would like this layout as it is the one we use at school. What am I doing wrong?

Edit:

I have figured something out:

  1. I needed Gnome Flashback,which started working after a few fixes, it starts looking good now.
  2. My cursor is invisible.
  3. The initial login screen is different. (not a priority as it seems to work properly)
    • I have a gray one with log-in info in the center.
    • I tried to have one with the login on the left, but it's hard to look for info with no clue as what they're called.

Best solution I found:

apt-get install gnome-session-flashback

This installed what I was looking for without any major issues.

You may need to add 'sudo' in front of the command.

sudo apt-get install gnome-session-flashback
