With 12.10 release coming close, a lot of major changes are happening around in the Ubuntu developer community. For Xubuntu fans, there is fanally some good news. Greybird, the default Xubuntu theme has got a major makeover. The changes have been summarized below:
- GTK2 theme
- GTK3 theme
- Xfwm4 themes (normal and compact)
- xfce-notifyd theme
- Emerald theme
- Metacity theme
- Mutter theme
- Unity support
- Granite widgets support (for compatibility with elementary apps)
Unico GTK3 engine has been abandoned, thus this theme can be used in Gnome shell too. To add it:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:shimmerproject/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install shimmer-themes-greybird
