   @ubu-fan – Thanks to Vadim, who posted this! :)

   @oldcity – Hmm… Maybe check the syntax in your sources.list? Maybe and extra space got added somewhere or something happened to one of the other repository source listing that’s throwing this off for you?

   @Jakes6 – Go to the French site and vote on the theme. ;) Cheers!

    I think the first two arguments for deb on the hardy line have been swapped.. it should be

    deb http://debian.vogelweith.com/ hardy zgegthemes # Themes of ZgegBlog

    Additionally, the package name to install is different: “zgegblog-themes-old”

11. Vadim P. on February 5, 2009 9:35 am

    Not sure about the “old” because while it worked at first, it didn’t after.Maybe it’s for 8.04 only?

    Love the themes and love the way you linked to apt so the packages install automatically.

    Does this type of link work in other browsers?

    @Mark Sanborn – In systems that don’t use apt the link won’t work. For example try it in Windows and the browser will give you a message indicating it does not know how to handle apt (as apt is not associated with anything). Additionally, don’t forget that this is dependent on the repositories configured on the Linux system. In my opinion, Vadim provided the community with a nice post (I think the themes, rock by the way).

14. Vadim P. on February 7, 2009 9:29 am

    @Mark: the apt: link only works in Firefox by default. To enable it in other browsers, see here: http://blog.appnr.com/help/

    Thanks for the info Vadim, nice post.

    am working in GNOME environment(GUI)…how
    do i invoke compiz fusion…i have installed the rquired drivers which i suppose..not sure..
    can someone please guide me through the same…
    THANK YOU
    REGARD

17. UbuntuLinuxHelp on March 10, 2009 9:57 am

    @DIPIN – I think it’s done in a terminal command:

    compiz --replace

    Just MAKE SURE that there were NO ERRORS in the installation BEFORE using this command. If I remember correctly, if there are issues with the install and you switch to compiz, you may lose your GUI. I did and ended up reinstalling.

    Side note: Have you tried Envy? http://www.albertomilone.com/n.....ipts1.html It’s for Ubuntu Linux and Debian and detects the model of your graphic card (only ATI and Nvidia cards are supported) and install the appropriate driver. This might be a helpful tool?

    Hmm… I’m getting errors…

    I’m a fan of good themes and love to customize my desktop, I started searching for the best Ubuntu / Gnome Themes. I downloaded loads of them, bookmarked and saved the pages for further use. You can access what I have collected on my blog Ubuntu Dan. I hope this was helpful!
