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 ===

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.

=== Ubuntu Eyecandy Pages ===
 * ["Upower"]: add a boot-up splash screen to Ubuntu
 * ["GnomeFoot"]: Replace the Gnome foot on the Applications menu with the Ubuntu logo - note that Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger) does this by default!
 * ["WallpaperTray"]: Random wallpaper utility
 * [:QtGnome:Qt-Gnome]: Make KDE applications more GNOME-like

=== Other Eyecandy Resources ===
 * [http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/EyeCandyBreezy BreezyCust Eyecandy Page]: List of a few how-to's and tweaks

 * ["DropShadows"]: adding Drop Shadows to your desktop windows
 * ["3ddesktopHowto"]: 3d Desktop installation
 * ["LuminocityHowTo"]: install Luminocity now in order to try out the new effects
 * ["GnomeLaunchBox"]: Mac OSX-style application launcher
