People usually use wallpaper for their desktop background, but many sites actually use some sort of wallpaper as the background, mostly on the homepage. While professional sites (such as software sites, casino sites, movie rental sites etc.) usually prefer to keep their background simple, smaller sites, such as blogs, games sites, and others often have images as part of the background. A good example of the difference is found by looking at this free slots Canada site. Whether you're looking for wallpaper for your Linux desktop background or for your website, you have come to the right place.

Aurora Gtk Engine

Submitted by admin on Wed, 06/27/2007 - 21:49.

I'm not author of this excellent GTK2 theme engine. I only redistribute it here. Real author name (nickname) is ECHM.

Description:
Aurora Gtk Engine is the latest member of the clearlooks family of gtk engines. The goal of this theme is to provide a consistent and complete look for Gtk. The theme aims to be very flexible in colour choice, however the style of the theme is fixed, meaning multiple styles for widgets will not be available. The theme includes some features that I haven't seen before in any Gtk engine as well as some theming of gnome panel widgets. Of course the best way to see the engine is to download it and try it out yourself.

Known Issues:
-Ugly widgets in: OpenOffice, Java applications
--Unfortunately I can't really do anything here to make them look better without removing features of the theme. I can only hope that their emulation of Gtk themes will improve over time.

Installation:
--Gtk 2.10 is required for this engine.
--Includes both the GtkRc themes, and the theme engine.

To install the theme engine extract it to somewhere convenient and in that directory run: "./configure --prefix=/usr -enable-animation" then "make". Then as a root user "make install".
Then install the gtkrc themes by extracting them to your ~/.themes directory (3 themes in total).

Changelog:
