Pimping your Ubuntu machine with gnome color chooser

This article applies to Ubuntu 9.10 (and maybe later versions as well)

Today, I just felt like pimping one of my Ubuntu machines. Spring is in the air today, and I wanted to have all items as green as possible, including the Gnome Applications menu. So I just started googling around. Entering as keyword things like “modify gnome start menu colors” and all that kind of things, I first found nothing more that discussions about editing a config file .gtkrc-2.0. Well it’s not the fact that I do not know how to edit or create a config file, but I thought: wow, here we are again, creating and editing config files: that’s not what most people want. Somewhat later, I found a package called Gnome Color Chooser. It’s installable through Synaptic (System -> Administration -> Synaptic Software Management, or whatever it is called in your native language). In the search field, enter gnome color chooser. Install the package. After installation, goto System -> Preferences -> Gnome Color Chooser. Now you’re ready to pimp your Ubuntu desktop! Have fun!
