Ja tämä kohta, en uskalla mennä sörkkimään kun en osaa: Gaim - Instant messenger
Gaim is the default instant messenger of the Ubuntu. It allows you to change smiley themes from the properties, but you can also change it's icons and other graphics by overwriting the existing files. Let's beginning with smiley themes.
You can get more smiley themes for Gaim easily from the repositories. Just give the following command and after that restart your Gaim.
sudo apt-get install gaim-themes
Now open the preferences window of the Gaim messenger. It can by found under Tools menu. Navigate to Smiley Themes and select your favourite. After that you can close the window. I actually didn't like any of the existing themes, so I ported my favourite theme from Kopete to Gaim. I suggest you to check it out. If you like it, download the package and navigate to your download folder with nautilus. Next open the preferences window of the Gaim again (if it's not already open) and navigate to smiley themes. Now you can simply drag and drop the packet that you downloded to the list. See the picture.
Next we will change the icons of the program itself. Before that we should take a backup copy of the current icons. So run this command in your terminal.
sudo mv /usr/share/pixmaps/gaim /usr/share/pixmaps/gaim_backup
Next download(Under construction) my theme and extract it temporarly to your home folder. Now give the following commands in gnome-terminal.
cd ~
sudo mv gaim /usr/share/pixmaps/
Finally you need to restart your Gaim messenger.
How to uninstall OSX-Gaim theme
Just in case if you don't like it. Give the following commands in gnome-terminal and after that, restart your Gaim messenger.
sudo rm -rf /usr/share/pixmaps/gaim
sudo mv /usr/share/pixmaps/gaim_backup /usr/share/pixmaps/gaim
Gnome Configuration Editor
This is just a minor improvment, but it's all about details.
This improvment changes the icons of the application to have a mac-look. This can be done (Again!) simply by overwriting the existing icons with the new ones. You can download my Configuration Editor icons here. After that open the terminal and move to the directory where you just downloaded the icons. Then give the following commands.
tar zxfv gconf-editor-icons.tar.gz
sudo mv /usr/share/pixmaps/gconf-editor /usr/share/pixmaps/gconf-editor_backup
sudo mv gconf-editor /usr/share/pixmaps/
Now the icons should be changed when you start the application next time. If you don't like the new look, you can always roll-back to default icons. Just give the following commands in terminal.
sudo rm -rf /usr/share/pixmaps/gconf-editor
sudo mv /usr/share/pixmaps/gconf-editor_backup /usr/share/pixmaps/gconf-editor
