This tutorial will help you install GNOME Tweaks on Ubuntu 24.04 "Noble Numbat". Tweaks is a useful utility program to customize Ubuntu desktop such as changing themes, icons, fonts etc. And no surprise it is a good companion to another utility named GNOME Extension Manager. We also want to say thank you John Stowers for developing this precious Free Software. Now let's see how to install and an example in using it!

After Ubuntu 20.04 released and you installed it, here is the list of suggestions to do from UbuntuBuzz.com. You will find here five sections discussing activities around Ubuntu system using only built-in applications; they are: taking care about visual, settings, remote desktop, applications, and Official Flavors. All pictures below are in high resolution albeit they might look small so click one to display it in full size. I tried several things different at this chance and I hope this traditional article helps everyone getting started with Ubuntu. Cheers!

I don't remember why, but suddenly my GNOME programs Peek GIF Recorder and Swell Foop puzzle game run with non-visible and abnormal titlebars on my KDE Plasma Desktop 5.12.3. It seems that this way GNOME Apps cannot show its top-left-corner menu and some other fail to draw its titlebar (we perceive it transparent). At this moment, I can only say that this problem occurs only if I choose Breeze for GTK3 theme. If I choose Emacs theme, it goes back to normal. A quick fix to this problem is by going to System Settings > Application Style > Window Decoration > GNOME Application Style > Select a GTK3 Theme > choose Emacs > OK.

Before:

(Not normal)

After:

(Normal)

Continuing KDE, GNOME, and MATE customization the series, it's XFCE's turn being customized with a global menu and Capitaine theme pack. We will use an XFCE theme, a GTK3 theme, an icon theme, tweak the top panel a little, and then install Plank as the dock, and finish them up with some more tweaking. I practiced this on Xubuntu 18.04 with XFCE version 4.12. I wish this helps everybody especially you who just started customizing XFCE desktop. Happy tweaking!

Know how to configure your Kubuntu system. This includes changing login password, interface language (to Arabic, Japanese, Korean, etc.), date/time, and desktop themes. These all done in KDE System Settings alone, the control panel of Kubuntu. This eighth part made short so you can exercise them easily on Kubuntu and later find the others by yourself. Enjoy!
