This is strictly intended for use with unity on ubuntu 11.04
All kudos to the elementary team (gtk) and the Ambiance team (metacity), everything released under GPL.
Installation:
1. Backup and/or rename the original Ambiance theme.
2. If you want it to theme the GDM and when sudoed then extract Ambiance.tar.gz into /usr/share/themes (after you have done step 1). Then do step 3.
3. Otherwise you can just copy the included metacity-1 folder into /usr/share/themes/Ambiance and choose to merge and replace all. Then do step 4.
4. Then drag Ambiance.tar.gz to the Appearance Preferences theme tab and deselect then reselect Ambiance.
-------------------------
Tip: In order to copy to the /usr/share/themes folder you must open the nautilus file manager with privileges.
To do this press Alt-F2 and type:
gksu nautilus
-------------------------
Undo! Undo!
Ok, If you don't want to use it any more:
1. If you renamed Ambiance then simply name it Ambiance again after removing the fake Ambiance elementary theme in both /usr/share/themes and /home/(yourusername)/.themes
2. If you moved the original Ambiance theme folder out of /usr/share/themes/ simply open nautilus with privileges and copy your Ambiance backup folder (make sure it's named it Ambiance) to /usr/share/themes/ . After you've removed both the fake Ambiance elementary theme in both /usr/share/themes and /home/(yourusername)/.themes
Then unselect and reselect the Ambiance theme in Appearance Preferences
