I’m in the process of upgrading all my computers to the latest Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) and I really wanted a way to quickly customize my interface. I wrote this quick script that I plan on running immediately after installing.
This script downloads and sets the Shiki-Brave theme, Droid Fonts, puts the Computer and Home folders on the desktop, Installs the Restricted software such as Java and Flash, and updates the system.
#!/bin/bash
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install shiki-brave-theme ttf-droid -y
gconftool-2 --type=string -s /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_theme Shiki-Brave
gconftool-2 --type=string -s /desktop/gnome/interface/icon_theme gnome-brave
gconftool-2 --type=string -s /desktop/gnome/interface/document_font_name Droid\ Sans\ 10
gconftool-2 --type=string -s /desktop/gnome/interface/font_name Droid\ Sans\ 10
gconftool-2 --type=string -s /desktop/gnome/interface/monospace_font_name Droid\ Sans\ Mono\ 10
gconftool-2 --type=string -s /apps/metacity/general/titlebar_font Droid\ Sans\ Bold\ 10
gconftool-2 --type=string -s /apps/nautilus/preferences/desktop_font Droid\ Sans\ 10
gconftool-2 --type=string -s /apps/metacity/general/theme Shiki-Colors-Metacity
gconftool-2 --type=bool -s /apps/nautilus/desktop/computer_icon_visible 1
gconftool-2 --type=bool -s /apps/nautilus/desktop/home_icon_visible 1
gconftool-2 --type=bool -s /apps/nautilus/preferences/enable_delete 1
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras -y
sudo apt-get upgrade -y
