I've installed about two weeks ago the new Ubuntu 8.04 Beta. Since then i've been busy with work and i did not managed to change the way it looks, to make it the way i like it.
Today I've browsed gnome-look in search for a theme i could use and found Aurora GTK Engine
that comes with three nice themes by default. Since there is no ubuntu package for this i will show you how to compile this engine and install it from source.
1. Install dependencies:
sudo apt-get install build-essential libgtk2.0-dev
2. Download the files from here
3. Extract the archive
tar jxvf Aurora-1.4.tar.bz2
tar zxvf aurora-1.4.tar.gz
4. Install process
cd aurora-1.3/
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-animation
make
sudo make install
5. Ok, now we have the engine installed and we can install the themes. They come into the gtkrc_themes.tar.bz2 archive. To install the themes, just open System -> Appearance and drag and drop the archive in the Appearance window.
That's it :)
