Nautilus Elementary Tweak theme for Ubuntu 10.10 or 11.04

simplygreat has posted a nice tweak for the theme of the Nautilus elementary which it makes it to integrate more with Ubuntu.

Here is the link to DebianArt

I also like the alternative instructions by Cybolic

About the installation, you can also just unpack "nautilus.rc" and the folder "nautilus" into $HOME/.gtk/ and put the following two lines in $HOME/.gtkrc-2.0:

include "/usr/share/themes/Ambiance/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"
include ".gtk/nautilus.rc"

Change Sidebar colour in Nautilus-Elementary

Here is one of those tips that should be used as a default in nautilus. OMG!Ubuntu posted this tip earlier this week.

Is quite simple and the results are quite impressive, it makes nautilus look much nicer.

First open nautilus and see if you have this file in your home directory ~/.gtkrc-2.0. If so, edit and paste the code below in it. If the file doesn't exist open gedit on paste the code below and save it as .gtkrc-2.0 in your home directory.

style "nautilus-sidepane"
{
    GtkTreeView::even_row_color   = "#F2F1F0"
}

widget_class "*NautilusSidePane*" style "nautilus-sidepane"

Ok, I'm off to do the same thing to my netbook.
