Android Icon/GTK Theme For Ubuntu

By , Published December 1, 2009

I love Android. I can't afford an Android device, but still I love Android.

I started porting the Android handset icons to a gnome theme when i came across iruel's similar attempt on Gnome-look.

Called €œGenoid€ it comes with lots of Android flavour €“ many icons have been incorporated, it has a GDM and and a GTK theme. You can download it here.

Even better

'Genoid' is a great attempt but its no where near finished and a lot of Android icons are missing meaning you end up with a half-android half-gnome theme desktop.

Now, because i am impatient and i really want to get a proper 'Android-esque' desktop up and running pretty sharpish, I’ve taken 'Genoid' as a base and started replacing the icons in the set with their Android versions and will be making icons that are in keeping with Android for which there is no equivalent.

I'll also be packaging up my tweaked Chrome GTK theme and Google Wave Emerald alongside it, throwing in some 'Android' screenlets that look like their android counterparts AND I’m going to try my hardest to get hold of some HQ versions of the default Android wallpapers.

I need to give this €œsuite€ a name€¦

    In any case it looks pretty sharp, but I think I’ll stick with the spacial desktop you posted last week.

    Ha, I also happen to love Android yet am unable to afford one (awkward grammar). On the other hand, I’m no fan of Android’s default looks. If I ever get an Android device the first thing I’ll do is root it with a custom UI version. Good theme anyway.

    this desktop seems pretty snazzy. if i could make gtk themes, i would make the exact same window border thats on chrome, meaning the blue “aero”ish theme. this would really make the perfect chrome desktop.
    like the window here:
