Setting the Gtk / Metacity theme, GDM & Usplash


Azenis is a wonderful theme, made by many people.  And I quote:

What is Azenis I hear you say? Azenis was originally a windowblinds theme created by J.J.Ying, now in its second carnation it has become one of their most prominent themes with almost 200,000 downloads. It has also been ported to KDE by Ezy where it has proved equally successful. I decided to have a go at creating a port for gnome, i got permission from both J.J.Ying and Ezy and this is the result.

Jameshardy88 is now the maintainer. I have taken the time to Debianize it. It will not set the usplash for you. I suggest a tool such as Startupmanager to do so. I will write a tools page for this site time permitting.

Beautiful Linux Themes

Friday, November 13th, 2009

My #1 goal with this site is a one stop & your Linux is gorgeous, not only will Ultimate Edition themes be hosted here, but user contributed.  All released GPL or I will not mess with them.  Simple as that.  My #2 goal is to be #1 for the search terms “Linux themes”, and I do not have any real competition in this department, it will happen.  Sorry if I sound cocky or is it confident?

Newly created / added themes will appear here on the homepage.  If I personally created / used in Ultimate Edition added and perm-linked here, credits will be provided.

Below is just a sample of what can be accomplished with the Nexgen gallery WordPress plugin:

Tags can be added user contribution etc. etc.

Downloads will be provided, not only locally, but in tar.gz format as well as deb as I build them.  No more digging through thousands of pages a one stop and your nix is off the hook.

Nexgen can be used in multiple formats…

apotheosis

This is 2 uses of the “gallery” option, it also has album & photo options.

Please give me the time to make it a reality.  When I am done, err at least have a page up for all Ultimate Edition Themes I will “hot link” it on UE’s homepage and let the fun begin ;)

Comments & suggestions ie a new “killer” theme etc. will be welcome.  I have been looking into a way to make WordPress similar to that of gnomelooks to allow users to submit their own artwork / themes.  Using gnomelook’s system will do nothing, but cost me money with 0 return as they are the ones that place ads on your site & collect the money with you having zero control.  Believe it to be called the hive system.  I would like to at least make some money off ads, is this wrong?  Are they going to pay my hosting bill?

We may not have 55,000 themes here, but we will have the best of the best & the only place that has them in deb format, I wonder who is going to make that happen?  I did not buy this website for nothing ;)
