Lubuntu is, without a doubt, one of the best distros for those who have low-resource compus. However, in the opinion of many, one of the lowest points is its visual appearance.
This video tutorial shows how to change the look of Lubuntu to look like Ubuntu |
It is in English but it is understood quite well.

Is there a way to install the Applications, Places and System buttons like in gnome classci?
I think lubuntu uses lightdm. You have to google how to customize that manager. Cheers! Paul.
Hello, how can I theme the lubuntu login screen if possible, that was one of the things I liked about ubuntu 9,04. If anyone knows how I can install themes on the login screen I would appreciate it
It can still be more excellent hehehe, for the mouse cursors if the "xcursor" application does not work for you, and by copying them to the personal folder carp-personal / .icons you can copy the cursors folder (cursors downloaded for example from KDElook with the form of the folder: foldertopic name and inside the cursors folder, inside cursors the set of cursors)
To the / usr / share / icons folder, with the command: sudo cp -r temacursors / usr / share / icons
-After we edit the index.theme file (sudo gedit /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme) and change the name of the theme to the one we just copied for the case «temacursors» ... and you are already logged out and when accessing again you will have a new theme of cursors ... I have the aero of windows 7.
Good contribution!
I have managed "in part" to fix what I myself raised.
1º To change the bootsplash from lubuntu to ubuntu, we must first install the necessary package from synaptic (by typing plymouth) we must find and install the plymouth-theme-ubuntu-logo
Then from the console we write this: sudo update-alternatives –config default.plymouth
(It asks us for a password and we select the corresponding number with the number).
2nd To change the login screen: For this one I managed to change the background image, placing it the same as the one seen as the desktop background in the video.
To do this, I first copied the desktop background (warty-final-ubuntu.png) to the address: / usr / share / lubuntu / wallpapers /
Finally I edited the lxdm.conf: sudo gedit /etc/xdg/lubuntu/lxdm/lxdm.conf and replaced the corresponding line (bg = / usr / share / lubuntu / wallpapers / warty-final-ubuntu.png).
The end result is that the logeo image corresponds to the computer's desktop background.
And now yes, everything is matching ...
Regards!
Hey! Very well!!! Congratulations!
A big hug! Paul.
Thanks .. but it happens that the log image if I change it (in lxdm.conf) for another, this one does not catch it (you can see that you liked the warty-final), in the first place I thought it would have to do with the image (quality, format etc) but no, I put the old one (of course it is compatible hehe) and it happens to take it ... what could it be due to?
Regarding bootsplash I know that it can be done "by hand". I recommend that you google it.
Unfortunately, there is no epidermis soft for Lubuntu. 🙁
Hug! Paul.
I have done it without problems, but I have 2 questions: 1.- To completely transform it, it is necessary to change the bootsplash and the login screen, how is that done in lubuntu?
and 2.- There is no software in lubuntu (lxde) to change the appearance from a program type epidermis program in Ubuntu.
There is that left ...
What minimum machine requirements does lubuntu ask for? more than minimum requirements what more basic HW can go well with? Because I have a duron 800 with 256 mb of ram waiting for reinstallation ...
I have LXDE on a PC with an AMD k6-2 at 500 Mhz, 256 megabytes in RAM and an 8 gigabyte hard drive and I have not had any problems, my equipment flies.
Lubuntu asks for at least 128 mb of ram and says that a pentium II is enough ... in my personal experience any distro with lxde works well with a pentium III and about 256 mb of ram.
But yes, flashblock please 😉
Exact. As Mordraug and Chilango suggest, it can go more than well with 256mb of ram and a Pentium II. The theme is flash, since it can "eat up" a lot of processor and memory. For this, there are addons (for both firefox and chromium) to block flash and that, if you want to see the video, you have to click to download it. In other words, it blocks it by default and if you want, it lowers it. I hope I was clear.
Cheers! Paul.
I answer myself hehehe: for the system to take the bg option of lxdm.conf again (log image)
1º Change the path of the image to the one you want.
2nd you have to run: sudo update-alternatives –config lxdm.conf
and press enter to take the current option.
Regards!
As Mr. Burns would say: "Excellent!"
Cheers! Paul.
