“This tutorial is supposed to show you how to change the GNOME
desktop’s appearance on Linux Mint further than the standard
options of the Appearance section in the Control Center allow. I am
going to use several different applications for this cause.“This tutorial will describe how to alter the appearance of a
Linux Mint 11 system with a GNOME desktop. This is the standard
desktop that comes with Mint, so if you have not changed anything
about that all steps should work fine for you. Be aware that the
use of the nVidia proprietary drivers may not be unrisky”
