8 Slick CoverGloobus Themes

By , Published May 4, 2010

To celebrate CoverGloobus finally getting a Lucid-friendly PPA here are 8 hand-picked CoverGloobus themes from the art-mine that is DeviantArt.

(Notice: 32bit users may have noticed by now that CoverGloobus for Lucid in the PPA has yet to be built – hang tight for now – it’s coming!)

Installing themes

  • Download, extract and then copy the folder of the themes you like to: /usr/share/covergloobus/themes
  • If themes don't show up in the CoverGloobus Theme selector then you will need to give both the copied theme folder and the .xml inside root permissions.

    TWQUET is the best theme!

    alternatively you can extract themes to ~/.CoverGloobus/themes

      hey wynst,
      is it actually ~/.CoverGloobus/themes?
      I only have a ~/.covers after running CoverGloobus.
      Do I have create that folder or do I put them in ./covers/themes?

      • http://blog.wynst.web.id wynst

        create the ~/.CoverGloobus/themes path if not exists

      Excuse my n00bism, but does that need to be placed anywhere specific?
      Or can i just created that directory as such: my user name/~/.CoverGloobus/themes ?

      • http://blog.wynst.web.id wynst

        if you havent figured it out yet, in Ubuntu ~ maps to /home/user_name, so place the extracted folder to /home/user_name/.CoverGloobus/themes

    For the torn paper one (my favourite of the bunch) i had to change a setting in the skin XML..

    It didn’t like being put in the bottom right with the size that it was, which is strange as that’s what it was designed for ^^

    I don’t know how to say in English but, when something is very exiting and cool !!, you say it’s “astonishing” ? :)…
