Updated theme-selector

I have updated my theme-selector packages so you can select the default gnome to get back to the default gnome-shell theme.



Install with (as root):

yum install http://timlau.fedorapeople.org/files/gnome-shell/extensions/\
gnome-shell-extension-theme-selector-0.9-3.fc15.noarch.rpm

or if already installed, update with (as root):

yum update http://timlau.fedorapeople.org/files/gnome-shell/extensions/\
gnome-shell-extension-theme-selector-0.9-3.fc15.noarch.rpm

Auto hide gnome-shell top bar

I have made packages for a nice little gnome-shell extension by Finnbarr P. Murphy, to make it possible to auto hide the top bar.

Install it with (as root):

yum install http://timlau.fedorapeople.org/files/gnome-shell/extensions/\
gnome-shell-extension-autohidetopbar-1.0-1.fc15.noarch.rpm

logon/logoff to load the plugin (or restart the gnome shell with Alt-F2 and type 'r' + Enter)

Double click on a blank part of the gnome-shell top bar to turn auto hide on/off.

gnome-shell themes (part2)

I have extended the theme selector by F. P. Murphy to show more themes in the overview and to show system wide themes.



Download the rpm here

Install it with (as root)

yum install gnome-shell-extensions-theme-selector-0.9-2.fc15.noarch.rpm

the package no longer contains any themes, but i have made separate rpm packages for many great themes made by half-left.

The theme rpm's can also be used with the latest version of gnome-tweak-tool (3.0.4) (Not in fedora yet, but i have an rpm here)

the theme-selector extension cant reset to the default theme, this can be dome by running

gsettings reset org.gnome.shell.extensions.user-theme name

 

here are review requests for getting the packages into fedora.

Playing with Gnome shell themes

A while ago stumbled over a blog with a lot of info about gnome-shell extensions.

Frank Murphy has made an theme selector extension to easy preview and select some great gnome-shell themes done by half-Left

After some testing of this great extension I have some packages for Fedora 15 to make it easier to install and test.

You just have to do this (as root):

yum install http://timlau.fedorapeople.org/files/packages/theme-selector/gnome-shell-extensions-theme-selector-0.9-1.fc15.noarch.rpm --nogpg

then run (as your normal user):

theme-selector-setup

there will link the included themes into ~/.themes.
Then you need to press ALT-F2 and type r to restart the gnome-shell and you are up and running.

Now you can activate the Overview an select the Themes button to show the theme-selector page and start to select new themes.
