    You are probably referring to the Cairo-Dock. Warning you may have difficulties getting this to fly with the existing source list entry. Look for it on Launchpad.net – and use the PPA from there. There are some odd DNS issues with their standard package source, but the LP one still works fine.

  22. $ro0 says:

    Count Chocula – I had the same problem. Turned out, I copied/pasted the instructions wrong regarding the sources.list file. The format of the text above is a little out of whack – don’t forget the deb in the first line:
    deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/bisigi/ppa/ubuntu karmic main
    deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/bisigi/ppa/ubuntu karmic main

    Thanks for the work on these themes!

  23. Daniel says:

    I much appreciate that supplied these excellent themes, I am the fresher to Ubuntu and enthusiastic to taste Ubuntu’s Interface. If you have more new update please release it….. and I want to try.

  24. Any plans to port this to Ubuntu 10.04? I would personally like to see these as a standard part of Ubuntu, in my opinion they are that hot. Balazan with the Koala completely blows away anything that comes standard with the current Ubuntu installs. Actually, I am going to request a feature to the 10.04 crew. I hope you don’t mind =) Let me know if you are going to port them yourself as well. I just tried to install these on a current 10.04 install and they did not work.

    Regards,
    Patrick

  26. Laurio says:

    Hi all! I made everything like you described, but my login screen didn’t change… 🙁 I hoped it’ll finally work, but it doesn’t… Can anybody help? Thanks forward…

  27. Visitor says:

  28. rlopeza7 says:

    Hello, I am new in linux how to show the theme after to install? Thanks

  29. rlopeza7,

    Go to the menu that says System in the top left, then Preferences, then Appearance. System/Preferences/Appearance. The first tab should be Themes. Let me know how it goes.
