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:

Name: Inhuman
Dark theme with red icons

Name: Inhuman Recant
Light theme with red icons

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.

Change the Sound Theme to "Satanic".

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:

Name: Skulls Usplash
Command: ubuntu-se usplash skulls

Name: Bathory Usplash
Command: ubuntu-se usplash bathory

Name: Runes Usplash
Command: ubuntu-se usplash runes

Name: Flames Usplash
Command: ubuntu-se usplash flames

Name: Glass Usplash
Command: ubuntu-se usplash glass

Name: Bat Usplash
Command: ubuntu-se usplash bat

Name: Baphomet Usplash
Command: ubuntu-se usplash baphomet

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:
