How to modify the background color in Ubuntu 12.04

Before using Ubuntu 10.10, it was easy to set the background color to the eye-catching green bean color. We recently upgraded Ubuntu 12.04 and found that the system did not provide a visual modification tool. So we started Google search, the solution was found on the Ubuntu Forum website.

First install dconf-editor,

Sudo apt-get install dconf-tools

Open dconf-editor, find org-gnome-desktop-interface, and find gtk-color-scheme. It is empty by default and needs to be written in by yourself.

The write format is:

Project name: color name;

Project name here you need to find the Default colors in GNOME in THE http://live.gnome.org/GnomeArt/Tutorials/GtkThemes/SymbolicColors

Fg_color The base for the foreground colors.
Bg_color Color to generate the background colors from.
Base_color The base color.
Text_color The text color in input widgets.
Selected_bg_color Color for the background of selected text.
Selected_fg_color Color of selected text.
Tooltip_bg_color Background color of tooltips.
Tooltip_fg_color Text color for text in tooltips.

This is what I set here.

Base_color: # CCE8CF

Bg_color is generally the background of file browsing, and is generally a non-text background.

Base_color: the background of the text editing area.

Note: the following description may be a' \ n' separated list of "name: color" as defined by the 'gtk-color-scheme 'setting,

Here, we need to primarily use English ";" instead of "\ n"
