The GNOME project provides two things: The GNOME desktop environment, an intuitive and attractive desktop for users, and the GNOME development platform, an extensive framework for building applications that integrate into the rest of the desktop.

Metacity is the default window manager for the GNOME desktop environment. Its focus is on simplicity and usability rather than novelties or gimmicks. Its author has characterized it as a "boring ... [More] window manager for the adult in you. Many window managers are like Marshmallow Froot Loops; Metacity is like Cheerios." [Less]

The GNOME-Colors is a project that aims to make the GNOME desktop as elegant, consistent and colorful as possible. The current goal is to allow full color customization of themes, icons, GDM logins ... [More] and splash screens. There are already seven full color-schemes available; Brave (Blue), Human (Orange), Wine (Red), Noble (Purple), Wise (Green), Dust (Chocolate) and Illustrious (Pink). An unlimited amount of color variations can be rebuilt and recolored from source, so users need not stick to the officially supported color palettes. GNOME-Colors is mostly inspired/based on Tango, GNOME, Elementary, Tango-Generator and many other open-source projects. More information can be found in the AUTHORS file. Consider donating any small amount to the GNOME-Colors project if you wish to support it, or to show your appreciation. You can do so by sending a Paypal donation to: perfectska04@gmail.com [Less]

Ultimate Theme ManagerAbandonedI haven't done anything on this project for a long time. If you want to take over the project or do anything of that sort, email me at sharkbaitbobby+utm@gmail.com. ... [More] PurposeImagine you want your entire Linux desktop to be a certain color, such as blue. Normally, you would have to change your settings for Firefox, then Blender, then Avant Window Navigator, then GTK, and maybe even Emerald, all in separate applications. But Ultimate Theme Manager has the capability to do all of that in one application. Screenshot InstallationUltimate Theme Manager can be installed in only a few commands. mkdir ultimate-theme-manager && cd ultimate-theme-manager && wget http://ultimate-theme-manager.googlecode.com/files/ultimate-theme-manager.tgz && tar -xvvzf ultimate-theme-manager.tgz && sudo python install.py Or, if you prefer to download via subversion for any reason, use this command: svn checkout http://ultimate-theme-manager.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ ultimate-theme-manager && cd ultimate-theme-manager && sudo python install.py (To run these commands, highlight and right click the text, and click Copy. Then go to the Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal menu. Right click in the window, and click Paste. Then hit enter. You will then see a "Password: " prompt. Enter your password and hit enter.) After installation, Ultimate Theme Manager should be accessible from the Applications->Accessories menu. If you installed just for yourself (read the README), it should be on your desktop. DependenciesI don't know the exact dependencies, but I know python and gtk 2.0 are required. See Dependencies for more information Coming Soon New Features (!)Very soon you will be able to Now you can filter your themes and theme types by name and description. Just type the text into the entry widget at the top, and only themes and theme types that have that text in their name or description will be shown. Also, you will have can have repositories for themes and theme types. Click "Get Types" to download and install the theme type so the look of the application referred to by the theme type can be configured and managed by Ultimate Theme Manager. Click "Get Themes" to download and import themes for the applications you have. The repositories will also have the ability to provide upgrades to the themes and types. Theme TypesTheme types allow Ultimate Theme Manager to configure the applications you have installed. As of writing this, there is only one fully working theme type for UTM. It can be downloaded from here. Open UTM and select the file you downloaded. When the prompt shows, click "New Theme Type." You can then export your themes, add new ones to the list, and change which theme you will use. ScreenshotsScreenshot 1 Screenshot 2 Screenshot 3 Screenshot 4 Screenshot 5 Screenshot 6 Screenshot 7 DevelopersIf you want Ultimate Theme Manager to be able to manage your application's look and themes, a theme type must be made. Check the README-dev file. I have written a theme type for Affinity, which can be an example if you are trying to create a theme type and README-dev is not enough (download here). I will probably be able to finish one for Avant Window Navigator soon, however if you want to please feel free to do so. If you want to help with UTM in any way, please do. Email me at sharkbaitbobby+utm@gmail.com. To doI have a lot planned for UTM. In the list is: Do updates/upgrades. Improve the README and README-dev. Make a Debian/APT repository. Clean up the code some more. If development's slowI have never used subversion before, so I really have (almost) no idea what I'm doing. So I apoligize if things are a little slow because I can't figure out something. This is also my first real program written in Python and the first graphical application (gtk, qt, etc.), and I don't have a a lot of time to work on UTM most of the time.
