How to determine which theme is currently enabled
I am not sure about the command, but I would like to know how to determine which theme is currently enabled on Ubuntu 14.04.
I am hoping for a command line solution.
You can use gsettings
to show currently enabled gtk theme:
gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme
and set eg. Radiance
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme Radiance
If only want to know which themes are available on your system you can look into these two directory:
/usr/share/themes
~/.themes
The above directories contains the themes folder.
If you also want to know which is the current active theme you can follow these two way:
- Open
System Settings
and then chooseAppereance
. Now in theLook
tab watch at the window bottom right: you can see which theme is currently set (e.gAmbiance
); -
Install
unity-tweak-tool
to manage unity appearance:sudo apt-get install unity-tweak-tool
Now open it and select
Themes
section. It will be shown the list of themes installed on your system and you can choose which is the best for you or you can install other from internet.
Note: if you have installed a new theme, then you can't see with the first method. Unfortunately you need a third-party software to manage themes different from default.
EDIT:
I you want to know which is the current active theme from terminal you can use this command:
gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme
I hope this could help you.
