How to beautify your ubuntu System

Article Title: Teach you how to beautify your ubuntu system. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.

Currently, the popular Personal Edition linux (suitable for beginners) includes suse, redhat, red flag linux (red flag 5.0, Magic linux supports domestic products), ubuntu, and fedora core. ubuntu is the most popular recently.

A lot of people have installed ubuntu, but it looks so ugly! There are two main reasons for this: the user used windows before and got used to its gorgeous interface; or the user does not know much about ubuntu.

Of course, developers spend most of their time working on terminals (without Xserver), and the interface requirements are much lower than the performance requirements. For users who use the operating system to access the Internet or do other jobs, the visual requirements are high, or vista is not as popular as it is now. However, vista has high requirements on the system. Although there are many optimization methods and many simplified versions on the network, they are still not very comfortable to use (in my opinion ). Ubuntu has only one cd (openoffice and other useful tools are installed), at least without the D version (this will not violate national laws ).

So how can I beautify the operating system after ubuntu is installed? Most people who have used ubuntu will think of compiz and beryl.

The following is the personal beautification process (here only describes n cards, the operating system is ubuntu6.10)

Beautify the font first:
We recommend that you use the wenquanyi font because of copyright issues (by the way, it supports Chinese products. In fact, wenquanyi is very beautiful now !)

Sudo apt-get install xfonts-wqy

Set Font options (system-> preference-> font

To use the ms font, use the following method:

Sudo mkdir/usr/share/fonts/msfonts

Sudo cp ms_ziti/usr/share/fonts/msfonts

(Ms_ziti is your ms font path) (generally copy these: msyh. ttf msyhbd. ttf simsun. ttc tahoma. ttf verdana. ttf verdanab. ttf verdanaz. ttf tahomabd. ttf verdanai. ttf includes,, tahoma, and verdana)

If you want to use the File Manager for operations, you can do this:
Sudo chmod 777/usr/share/fonts/msfonts

Then we can use the methods in widows to cp.

Next
Sudo gedit/etc/X11/xorg. conf

Add at the corresponding location
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/msfonts"

Next
Sudo gedit/etc/fonts/language-selector.conf

Add
Microsoft YaHei
Bitstream Vera Serif
Bitstream Vera Sans
Bitstream Vera Sans Mono

Of course, you can also change Microsoft Yahei to another or more

Sudo chmod 644/usr/share/fonts/msfonts /*

(You do not need to use sudo chmod 777 if you do not use sudo chmod)
Sudo mkfontscale
Sudo mkfontdir
Fc-cache-fv

Input X again.

Set Font options (system-> preference-> font)
