I don't like the themes I have in my system (Xubuntu 11.04) by default.




  • Is Xfce Look the only place where I can get new themes?


  • Can I run themes that are made for Gnome, for example?

You can use gtk2 themes from Gnome-Art as well.



Similar websites:




  1. deviantARTs: XFCE-section

  2. Customize.org: XFCE-section

  3. XFCE-Forums: mostly window manager themes

  4. deviantARTs: (GNOME) GTK2-section



source



Example install from Gnome-Art



First create a .themes folder in your home folder



mkdir ~/.themes


Download one of the themes e.g. Aero-ion which should be saved in your ~/Downloads folder



then extract the compressed tar file into .themes



cd ~/.themes
tar -xvf ~/Downloads/GTK2-AeroIon.tar.gz


Finally Settings Manager - Appearance to apply your new theme e.g. AeroIon will appear at the top of the list.



Here is my example:
