One way of doing this is to install gtk themes under /usr/share/themes or /home/user_name/.themes

Then you can change gtk theme with gtk-chtheme

  • @user3021349 If exist this package under the Centos repos then just run yum install gtk-chtheme but If not exist then download gtk-chtheme after that run into the downloaded folder with root root user yum localinstall gtk-chtheme-0.3.1-11.el6.i686.rpm

You can change your theme under this pull-down in CentOS:




System Settings > Advanced > Desktop Theme Details




Much of the theming infrastructure for GNOME2 is gone, for example: http://art.gnome.org/themes. But this site is still up and maintains icons, backgrounds, etc., for customizing your desktop.



  • http://gnome-look.org/

NOTE: You'll want to focus on the GTK2.x content on sites as your encounter anything that is listed as GNOME-specific.
