Can some one please put this guide up on the user notes as LFS users are not being able to use gnome-tweak tool to install/change themes for gnome shell. If u have gnome shell 3.4 and want to install the user theme extension in LFS and hence change ur boring default theme without the buggy (not working on LFS) gnome tweak tool run the below commands as root or with sudo You can maybe put it up on user notes for gnome tweak tool for now till the bugs in gnome tweak tool is fixed. LFS users will at least have some other way to change their gnome shell theme. Also this is a real pain for gnome shell 3.4 user as there is a bug It will save a lot of time and frustration, And also if a graphical tool to change themes is needed dconf can be used when I have also mentioned below The GUIDE:- If u have gnome shell 3.4 and want to install the user theme extension in LFS and hence change ur boring default theme without the buggy (not working on LFS) gnome tweak tool run the below commands as root or with sudo First install the usertheme extension from https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/19/user-themes/ click the switchh to show on. Now for Gnome Shell 3.4, install the extension here as normal, then type in terminal: # sudo cp ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/ extensions/ [email protected]/schemas/org.gnome.shell.extensions.user-theme.gschema.xml/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas # sudo glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas The below guide is from http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/39698/install-gnome-shell-theme-without-gnome-tweak-tool With dconf-editor<http://shuffleos.com/791/dconf-editor-show-selected-app-icons/>or in terminal. - Install gnome-shell-extension-user-theme (if you haven't already). - Enable gnome-shell-extension-user-theme: *dconf-editor*: expand org > gnome > shell then edit the value field for the enabled-extensions key, adding ' [email protected]'to the existing elements (if any) alternatively, in *terminal*, run: gnome-shell-extension-tool -e [email protected] - Then enable your shell theme (e.g. Adwaita Sky): *dconf-editor*: expand to org > gnome > shell > extensions > user-theme and change the value for the name key to Adwaita Sky or, in *terminal*, run: gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.user-theme name "Adwaita Sky" A shell restart might be required after these operations: Alt+F2 >> r Thanks for all the help and bug reports Armin K seems gnome isnt bothered about its growing bugs on bugzilla....?
