Manual Installation

To build the theme you need

• autoconf
• automake
• pkg-config or pkgconfig if you use Fedora
• libgtk-3-dev for Debian based distros or gtk3-devel for RPM based distros
• git if you want to clone the source directory

If your distributions doesn't ship separate development packages you just need GTK 3 instead of the -dev packages.

Install the theme with the following commands

1. Get the source

If you want to install the latest version from git, clone the repository with

git clone git://github.com/horst3180/ceti-2-theme.git --depth 1 && cd ceti-2-theme 

If you want to install the latest stable release, run

git clone git://github.com/horst3180/ceti-2-theme.git --depth 1 && cd ceti-2-theme
git fetch --tags
git checkout $(git describe --tags `git rev-list --tags --max-count=1`) 

or download it from github.com/horst3180/Ceti-2-th… and cd into the extracted archive

2. Build and install the theme

./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
sudo make install 

Other options to pass to autogen.sh are

--disable-gnome-shell         disable GNOME Shell support
--disable-gtk2                disable GTK2 support
--disable-gtk3                disable GTK3 support
--disable-metacity            disable Metacity support
--disable-unity               disable Unity support

--with-gnome=<version>        build the theme for a specific Gnome version (3.14, 3.16, 3.18)
                              Note: Normally the correct version is detected automatically
                              and this option should not be needed. 

After the installation is complete you can activate the theme with gnome-tweak-tool or a similar program by selecting Ceti-2.

Uninstall the theme

Run

sudo make uninstall 

from the installation directory, or

sudo rm -rf /usr/share/themes/Ceti-2 

Extras

The extra directory in the source directory in contains a Chrome/Chromium theme and an alternative metacity theme, which hides the window titles of maximized windows (doesn't work on Gnome 3.16 and up).

To install the Chrome/Chromium theme go to the extra/Chrome folder and drag and drop the Ceti-2-chrome.crx into the Chrome/Chromium window. The source of the Chrome themes is located in the source "Chrome/source" folder.

To install the alternative metacity theme, copy the Ceti-2-alternative-metacity folder to /usr/share/themes and select it as window theme.

Troubleshooting

If you get artifacts like black or invisible backgrounds under Unity, disable overlay scrollbars with

gsettings set com.canonical.desktop.interface scrollbar-mode normal
