I found the theme here:

http://lassekongo83.deviantart.com/art/Zukitwo-203936861

I went in here:

https://github.com/lassekongo83/zuki-themes

Downloaded everything and I also did:

sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-murrine gtk2-engines-pixbuf

But, what do I do now? I have the folder with everything that I downloaded from the github source but I don't know what to do with it.

I'm new to Ubuntu, I'm trying to learn as fast as I can.

I have Ubuntu gnome 14.10.

To apply a theme you can use either Ubuntu-Tweak tool or Unity Tweak tool or Gnome Tweak tool. To install Ubuntu Tweak tool:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:tualatrix/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-tweak

To install Unity Tweak tool:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install unity-tweak-tool

To install Gnome Tweak tool:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool

Just go to applications and type in Dash search any of them and launch it.

P.S.

To change shell themes in Gnome don't forget to install gnome-shell-extensions and enable user themes.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gnome-shell-extensions

  • You might want to explain how to activate the theme once installed.

Open the .zip file and move the folder Zukitwo to /usr/share/themes. Step by step:

  1. click the .zip file in the browser
  2. select the folder Zukitwo
  3. click "Unpack" and select e.g. your Desktop folder
  4. Open a terminal: CTRL + ALT + T
  5. Enter the following command: sudo mv ~/Desktop/Zukitwo /usr/share/themes/
  6. Enter your password at the prompt.

Where to move the theme folders is explained in more detail in the INSTALL file, which is also in the zip.

The INSTALL instructions then go on about how to actually select Zukitwo as the current theme, using terminal commands. However, you can easily switch themes by using System Settings/Appearance, or by installing unity-tweak-tool which you can find here.
