We have all gone Jelly Bean mad. The entire Android world.

If you are not already sick of JB or simple cannot get enough, now if you are running Linux Ubuntu or Mint you can theme. UpUbuntu have posted a simple easy to follow guide to get the Jelly Bean look if you are running Ubuntu 12.04, 12.10 and 11.10 or if you are running Mint 13 or earlier. The theme works in both Gnome and Unity plus comes in dark and light.

Installing is simple just open up Terminal and run a couple of command

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:upubuntu-com/gtk3
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gtkdroid

For the default style, run these commands:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme ‘Jellybean-GTK’
gconftool-2 –set –type string /apps/metacity/general/theme ‘Jellybean-GTK’

For the light version:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme ‘Jellybean-GTK-Light’
gconftool-2 –set –type string /apps/metacity/general/theme ‘Jellybean-GTK-Light’

And there you have it. For more info hit up the Up Ubuntu link for the original article

I’m Robert Best, founder of this little site that you are looking at. And I hail from Lisburn. That is in Norn Iron, or Northern Ireland as everyone else calls us. Now on my 9th Android phone I am always looking for interesting and new things to do with Android. When I am not thinking about Android or anything Android related I can be found making music for either for my solo project or for one or two of the bands I am currently playing with. And there generally is not a moment of the day that goes by without you being able to see me with a cup of black tea.
