I hope to chenge colour or the theme but can not get it done ...

[fossiili]

I usually let the Linux-distribution to keep the look it has after the installation. But now I hope to have LinuxLite to look differently.  I have tryed to change the theme but nothing happens.

Should I edit X-configuration files or what? Any terminal command?

What information is needed. I now have the problem to remember the  command to get informatin of the computer.

I appreciate any help you will be giving

Both Unity and Gnome Shell (Gnome 3) use GSettings now instead of GConf. So in Unity and Gnome Shell you can use the command-line tool gsettings for that. Like gconftool, it lets you get or set an individual key.

You can get the current URI of the background image as follows:

gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri 'file:///home/serrano/Pictures/x.jpg'

And set the background URI as follows (which will immediately update your desktop background):

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri file:///home/serrano/Pictures/y.jpg

Notice that you must prepend the URI with "file://" for this to work (unlike with gconftool).

In order to make your script work with both Gnome 2 and Shell/Unity, you can let it do a Gnome version check first:

gnome-session --version

That will return the version of Gnome. If the version number starts with 3, then gsettings can be used. If it returns a version starting with 2, let your script use gconftool instead.

Linux Lite uses Xfce as the Desktop Environment.
Normally to change the theme/colours it's Menu > Settings > Appearance and select another Style from the list.
To change the appearance of the Title Bar etc. it's Menu > Settings > Window Manager and select another Style.

That reminds me, I need to update the Themes section in the Help Manual.
