WOW! New Linux user

Wow this OS is really great! - I'm totally new to Linux and have been looking around to see which flavor or distro would be best for me and I tried a couple like Pinguy and Elementary but gosh they just kept behaving oddly on me right after the install and I never got far. But this OS is awesome and way stable so far! Thanks!

I do have a couple noob question however.

How do I change the windows baby blue highlight colors to a different color?
Also where might I find a temperature reader?

I have a ton more questions but will try and solve them on my own.

Thanks for the great OS!

Hi,

take a look at the post install guide and the themes section which may help you somewhat:

You can use "Tweak Tool" to change themes or install Ubuntu Tweak also:

Let us know if this helps.

Hi and welcome to Zorin from me too!

Somebody else posted a similar question about getting rid of the blue - here is the answer to the other OP whom I can't find:



How I did it:

1. CompizConfig Settings Manager - double-click on Windows decorations:



2. Install gnome-color-chooser

Code:

sudo apt-get install-gnome-color-chooser

from a Terminal (Menu | Accessories | Terminal)



For temperature reader, I would install Conky - take a look at agungaskcom and madvinegar's how-to tutorials - search for Conky or Conky-lua.
