I'm pretty new to Ubuntu. I'm wondering if it's possible to make Ubuntu Mate look like the old Ubuntu (10.10).

I want it to look exactly like this:

Thanks!

You just need the ambiance theme installed,here are two good choices

Choice number 1: Light Theme (Ambiance and Radiance)

This is the developers screen shot

enter image description here

Download the .deb here or

wget dl.dropbox.com/u/72782740/debian/light-themes-mate-12.04-all.deb

Install it

sudo dpkg -i light-themes-mate-12.04-all.deb

Resolve dependencies (should not be needed)

sudo apt-get install -f

Choice number 2: Ambiance & Radiance colors, this will install ambiance with many highlight options (including the orange you wanted)

enter image description here

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ravefinity-project/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ambiance-colors

Note : This PPA also has radiance colours themes sudo apt-get install radiance-colors

Install mate-tweak to change your theme

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-mate-dev/trusty-mate
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mate-tweak

  • Thank you very much. I upvoted the answer. I guess those themes are the closest you can get to the original Ubuntu 10.10. I'll experiment with it. Thanks again Oct 6, 2015 at 11:40
  • Please feel free to give any feedback here on how close these themes are to 10.10 GTK theme

  • How do i enable this theme :O Oh it is enabled, but there is no taskbar at the bottom :9 Feb 22, 2016 at 12:56
  • @JamieHutber The panel is not part of the theme, you must add a new panel through the desktop, I think if you right click the top panel, you can add a new panel and drag it to the bottom.

  • Good thinking, I remember this is how you would do it previously. However right-clicking on the top bar does nothing, nor does doing it on the desktop offer anything :( Feb 22, 2016 at 17:28
