Configuration

Once you have installed Ubuntu SE, use the following simple steps to configure it. Note that we use a helper script called ubuntu-se which is included in the usplash-theme-satanic package.

Desktop Wallpaper

Right-click the desktop and select Change Desktop Background. The new wallpapers should be available for selection. You can't miss them; they're mostly dark and have kind of a fire theme going on. There are 4:3 and widescreen versions of each.

Gnome Theme

Select System->Preferences->Appearance. Under the "Theme" tab, there are two themes to choose from:

Inhuman

  • Name: Inhuman
  • Dark theme with red icons
Inhuman Recant

Note: dark themes may cause problems with certain applications. See this HOWTO for tips to work around these issues.

Sounds

SE provides custom login and logout sounds.

Select System->Preferences->Sound.

Note that on Karmic/Jaunty the sound theme is under the [Sounds] tab.

GDM Login Theme

Note that Karmic uses a new, more integrated version of GDM along with a new graphical splash screen called xsplash. It is possible to change the look and feel of GDM using gconftool. We hope to make this easier in the future:

sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 --set --type string /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename /usr/share/backgrounds/SE-FiveMagics-Wide.png
sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 --set --type string /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_theme Inhuman
sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 --set --type string /desktop/gnome/interface/icon_theme Revenge

Note that we do not yet have an xsplash theme. We are working on it!

For versions prior to Karmic:

Select System->Administration->Login Window. The SE themes should be available.

Usplash Themes

This changes the image which is shown during boot-up. A default theme is installed as part of the package. This can be changed by running one of the following commands:

Skulls Usplash

Bathory Usplash

Runes Usplash

Flames Usplash

Glass Usplash

Bat Usplash

Baphomet Usplash

To restore the default usplash, run: ubuntu-se usplash default

Gnome Splash

The gnome splash is shown when you login (note that it is disabled by default in newer versions of Ubuntu). Use one of the following commands to choose the image you require:

Skulls Gnome Splash

Bathory Gnome Splash

Flames Gnome Splash

Glass Gnome Splash

Bat Gnome Splash

Baphomet Gnome Splash

Screensaver

Select System->Preferences->Screensaver. The Satanic screensaver is called Eternal Damnation.

It may be too late to save your soul, but you can easily uninstall the packages:
