I am using Gnome-shell on Ubuntu 11.10. I've found excellent theme, which I'd like to apply to all users, current and ones that are created later. Is there a way to set the new theme (Elementary Luna) as the default theme, or if not, replace the old theme completely?

Put your configuration files into /etc/skel. The window theme settings are located at /home/YourUsername/.gconf/desktop/gnome/shell/windows/%gconf.xml so you copy the settings file to /etc/skel/.gconf/desktop/gnome/shell/windows/%gconf.xml.

Then you do the same for .gconf/desktop/gnome/interface/%gconf.xml, this is where icon theme and gtk-Theme settings are stored.

You can do so with all settings in your home folder.

  • The elementary luna theme is a shell theme. Your answer covers the icon theme and the gtk-theme but not the shell theme. Please update your answer to reflect that part. – jokerdino Mar 31 '12 at 10:35
  • I couldn't find this one but it could be that the settings are located in the shell extension directory. I'll test it soon. – jplatte Apr 13 '12 at 22:13
  • gnome-tweak-tool can't start anymore after i installed the user-themes extension... Sorry but it could take a while until I find out how I can fix this and where the extension stores its settings. But you could test if it works to just put the extensions directory (~/.local/share/gnome-shell/userthemeextension) to /etc/skel and see if that works. – jplatte Apr 13 '12 at 22:28
