Gnome-Art NextGen 0.6.0 released
July 17, 2008
It’s official: the best program for easily customizing your Gnome desktop is out.
No more scouring of gnome-look.org, manually downloading, and manually dragging the files into the theme window to install and apply. Now, you can just click on a preview, click ‘Apply’ – and let the magic of it downloading and installing do it’s work. That’s right – just two steps. Amazing.
The program handles everything from backgrounds, to the look of the programs, window border, splash screen, and the login screen. To see a short screencast of the program I did, go here.
Download here. Now, for a quick review.
The Good:
- Great program flow – works by showing you thumbnails of everything. Select a thumbnail, click Apply, and you got it downloaded, setup, and applied for you.
- Also supports the advanced options such as looking at a preview (bigger than a thumbnail), choosing the resolution if multiple ones are available, and image type.
- Easy to install Ubuntu – just download the .deb, double-click on it, click ‘Install Package’, and you’re done.
- Has a good interface, and it didn’t take long to figure it out.
The Bad:
- Not polished shiny yet – little quirks in the interface do exist.
- Doesn’t work sometimes on applying the stuff.

I’ve been trying to get developers to make something like this for years!
Wow!
One feature for the future: allow logging in to allow comments and rating on themes?

@Brett: I’ve forwarded that to the programs author. Also, silly me, but I forgot to include the project homepage: http://gnomeartng.berlios.de/
