to avoid problems theme create start theme , copy on new name , use theme equinox evolution midnight create new theme name rinzwind. avoids errors, crashes , notices things not being present theme.

  • create new theme based of theme

themes stored in /usr/share/themes/:

im1

steps taken in image:

  • open terminal , cd /usr/share/themes/
  • sudo mkdir rinzwind
  • cd rinzwind
  • sudo cp -r /usr/share/themes/equinox\ evolution\ midnight/* .

inside new directory file named index.theme needs changed new theme name. after entering sudo gedit index.theme change old theme names new one:

im2

string, search , replace equinox evolution midnight -> rinzwind
icontheme , cursortheme keep editing these 2 same theme.

and have new name old theme:

im2

  • creating new theme

inside our new directory 2 sets of images:

im5

im6

with image editor (gimp) can change colors or various things on images. make sure keep same size of image , of course use sane colors (stick 1 color , 1 or 2 shades of color make theme , not gives people instant headaches).

recreate these 2 directories in pictures folder copying theme pictures. copied 2 directories inside theme , removed directories not images result:

im7

open images inside gimp , start editing them , when satisfied copy them on theme's directory , check if works. remark: since theme owned root need use sudo copy over.
