Changes

One of the key advantages of Linux desktops in general is the fact that they can be customized to meet any particular preferences. In this chapter of [[Fedora Desktop Essentials]] we will look at changing the Fedora Desktop theme.

Although Fedora is installed with several different theme options, in reality this represents a small subset of themes that are available online. A wide range of themes are available for download from [http://art.gnome.org/themes http://art.gnome.org/themes].

The themes are downloadable by theme sub-category (i.e. Window Border, Icons etc). Let's start by installing a new Window Border theme. On the right hand side of the [http://art.gnome.org/themes GNOME Art] website click on the ''Window Border'' link beneath ''Desktop Themes''. This will filter the list of themes so that only Window Border themes are displayed. Scroll down the list and click on a theme that is not currently available on your Fedora installation (for this example we will use the [http://art.gnome.org/themes/metacity/1360 MetaGrip] theme).

In this chapter we have looked in detail at selecting, installing and customizing Fedora desktop themes. In the next chapter we will look at [[Configuring Fedora Desktop Fonts]]
