I'm using Oneiric, and have some default theme set. I understand Unity is using Gtk3, and that the usual Ubuntu themes haven't been ported.

  • How do I set the theme in Oneiric?
  • Where is/will the new Appearance settings dialog /be?

Use the gnome-tweak-tool to change your GTK3 theme.

Currently:

  • Window border:

    You have to set the window border theme using gconf-editor at the path:

    /apps/metacity/general/theme

  • GTK/Icon/Cursor theme:

    Can be set using dconf-editor from the dconf-tools package at the paths:

    org.gnome.desktop.interface.gtk-theme
org.gnome.desktop.interface.icon-theme
org.gnome.desktop.interface.cursor-theme

AFAIK there are currently two ports of Ambiance in the works (make sure you have the gtk3-engines-unico package installed):

  1. One from Luca Forina (Lucazade) at https://code.launchpad.net/~lucazade/+junk/ambiance-gtk3. Follow the instructions to get the branch, then copy the gtk-3.0 folder to /usr/share/themes/Ambiance and set the GTK theme to Ambiance.

  2. A second one from Andrea Cimitan (Cimi) which has been merged to the light-themes package - so it's probably the official one. You can find the code here. Again, just download like instructed and move the theme files to /usr/share/themes (move/backup the old ones first).
