Onux Theme

TheeMahn — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 20:58:43 +0000

This is work in progress. It is not done, I still have to make a CSS file for firefox to make things more visible / clear. Depending on which theme is voted into office, feel free to cast your vote there. Comments are welcome.

Cowboy created the default background (this is also subject to change & requires the Ultimate Edition 2.8 to render properly) Onux theme was originally written by bvc, I have modded just the orange (7 in total) and Debianized it. The icon set is from our Lava theme, Magiconed to make it match the themes colors.

Onux Theme Pack Contents:

14 GTK2 Themes
14 Metacity Themes
14 Emerald Themes
19,000+ Icons 16X16, 22, 24, 32, 64, 96, 128 & 256

Ultimate Edition 2.8 Theme

TheeMahn — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 03:16:51 +0000

This is work in progress. It is not done, I still have to make a CSS file for firefox to make things more visible / clear.

Cowboy created the default background, many however are involved through out the theme. JohnnyG created the wallpaper used in KVirc. I have used the Icon set from the Lava theme, previously created. The GTK theme is far from done. Some of the other wallpapers were created by Admin-Amir.

Ultimate Edition 2.6 Theme

TheeMahn — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 03:44:22 +0000

I am thinking of releasing this gem (Ultimate Edition 2.6 Theme), as well as simultaneously releasing all Ultimate Edition themes. Only because I had to rebuild each of them thanks to lucid’s new feature Plymouth and to provide backward compatibility. I have taken a minute or 2 to set up a repository just for themes. Education is coming. I hope you can see where I am going.

I will not say what I am doing; ppl tend to expect the highest of me. Since this site sees the lowest traffic of all, I will tell you because I can, huge things are coming. You can say you read it here first. I wish for 1 sec you sit in my shoes. Last post here a day before xmas last year. Let’s change this up

#This will seem cryptic to most people I add / change portions of this text file based on what I am trying

want to be bothered by questions such as are you sure? If I wasn’t I would not have asked. We begin…

The custom debs I have written to automate the process:

ultimate-edition-customizations-0.3.0_all.deb
ultimate-edition-2.6_all.deb

ultimate-edition-customizations-0.3.0_all.deb does what it says customizes the distro mainly the /etc/skel currently adds compiz fusion to startup and enables it so if you have a compatible video card it will initiate on boot up. It also sets in my compiz settings which are all random so you get to see all the animations. It is quite the piece of work.

ultimate-edition-2.6_all.deb it installs all the software used in Ultimate Edition 2.6. This has squat to do with a theme… The end results, education.

Lava Theme

TheeMahn — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 06:15:35 +0000

I thought I would toss together a “Hot” theme; have some Lava…

The lava “effect” I created in gimp. The icons I created for the most part; I did have a base of 48 by Fred McKinney which I have turned into overall 19,000+ in gimp and downsized the resolutions in Phatch a powerful tool & a smart author. The GTK uses the "Ubuntu looks" engine is is color changeable.

The Icon pack is the largest Icon pack I have seen ever on the net. It has 491 mimes, this means when you are browsing your files and look at a spreadsheet file the icon will be a spreadsheet. I intend to make the icons the most complete set on the net, if they are not already. Eventually, all icons will be in SVG format to reduce size & add full scalability. Cursor theme is Chrome Glass by fnaax.

Lava Theme Pack Contents:

3 GTK2 Themes (Red, Green & Blue)
3 Metacity Themes (Red, Green & Blue)
3 Emerald Themes Red, Green & Blue)
19,000 Icons 16X16, 22, 24, 32, 64, 96, 128 & 256
2 Wallpapers

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

TheeMahn — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 09:22:16 +0000

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 Ulimate 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…

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

TheeMahn,
