Ubuntu Eye Candy is intended as an index for all the things in the wiki that are mostly intended to make Ubuntu look cooler and/or slicker, rather than the more "serious" configuration options documented elsewhere.
Fairly short items can be added directly to this page; existing or longer items should get their own pages with links from here.
Changing Desktop Wallpaper
attachment:Bckgrnd_Prefs.png
Right-click on your desktop and choose Change Desktop Background. Pick a wallpaper from the list, or choose the Add Wallpaper button to add an image from any directory.
Use the Desktop Colors selector to change the background behind translucent or semi-transparent images - this works very well with SVG graphics.
Changing Desktop Themes
Ubuntu comes with a selection of desktop themes, and many more can be downloaded from websites.
To change themes, choose System menu --> Preferences --> Theme.
Installing New Desktop Themes
Download a theme onto your Desktop, open the Theme Manager as above, and drag the file containing the new theme onto the Theme Manager. It should automatically install, and appear in your list of themes.
Note that many theme packages only contain portions of a theme - you can find those by clicking the Theme Details button and exploring the lists there.
Gnome's Theme Manager also makes it very easy to create your own themes by mixing and matching elements through this Theme Details window.
