Give Your Linux Mint and Xubuntu a Visual Uplift Using Twister UI
|
||||
======
|
||||
TWISTER UI IS THE EASIEST WAY TO GIVE YOUR LINUX MINT AND XUBUNTU A
|
||||
VISUAL UPLIFT USING PRE-LOADED THEMES. HERE’S HOW.
|
||||
[Twister UI][1] is an add-on to your existing Linux Mint and Xubuntu installation. The Pi Labs created this UI, who made the [Twister OS][2] for Raspberry Pi and related hardware.
|
||||
|
||||
### Twister UI
|
||||
|
||||
The Twister UI is a collection of packages for [Linux Mint][3], and Xubuntu brings several popular OS-specific themes and configurations out of the box. You can apply them with just a click of a button. You do not need to download separate icons, themes or cursors.
|
||||
|
||||
The latest release gives out-of-box desktop theme, icons, sound, and other settings changes for the below OS types.
|
||||
|
||||
* Native Twister OS Theme
|
||||
* Windows 98, Windows 7, Windows XP
|
||||
* Windows 11, Windows 10
|
||||
* iTwister and iTwister Sur (for macOS)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
#### How does it work?
|
||||
|
||||
The team prepared automated scripts that download all popular OS-specific themes, sounds, etc., from GitHub. Then the script modifies them, download additional packages from the Ubuntu repository and installs this add-on as a whole. The installer takes care of installing everything by itself, and all you need to do is wait.
|
||||
|
||||
Before we explain to you how to install it, let’s look at some of the screenshots and features of this OS mod. These screenshots are from the Linux Mint Xfce edition with this OS mod applied.
|
||||
|
||||
#### How it looks (screenshots)

||||

|
||||
|
||||
![native Twister OS theme][6]
|
||||
|
||||
#### Contents of the Twister UI Package
|
||||
|
||||
The package brings its own settings app called ThemeTwister. You can use this to switch themes quickly. You can change as many times you want between them. Nothing breaks.
|
||||
|
||||
The project also installs some good open-source packages by default. It installs Lutris, Steam gaming platforms to help you quickly play games. It also installs Discord, Wine emulator for the users.
|
||||
|
||||
As you can see, the team carefully thought of which packages to install, considering the user base of this add-on.
|
||||
|
||||
### How to Install
|
||||
|
||||
If you plan to install this, I recommend using this package in Linux Mint Xfce edition and Xubuntu. Do not try to install it in other Linux distributions _(I tried before reading the documentation, I messed up my Fedora install, so don’t try it in other distributions)_.
|
||||
|
||||
The requirement is a Linux Mint Xfce or Xubuntu installation (wither 32-bit 64-bit). It also requires around 5 GB of disk space.
|
||||
|
||||
First, download the package from the below link, which contains the Torrent link. It is not an ISO file. It consists of three files, one of which is the actual script.
|
||||
|
||||
[Download Twister UI][1]
|
||||
|
||||
Once downloaded, open the downloaded folder, and you should see a file with extension .run (as below).
|
||||
|
||||
![Give the execute permission to the run file][7]
|
||||
|
||||
Change the permission of the file to make it executable. Then run it via the terminal.
|
||||
|
||||
The script requires an admin password, so provide that once asked. Before you start the installation, make sure that you have a stable internet connection to download additional packages on the fly.
|
||||
|
||||
![Starting the installation script][8]
|
||||
|
||||
The download and installation take some time. Depending on your internet speed, it might take around 15 to 20 minutes.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
You should know that the installer will replace the default Plymouth and .
|
||||
|
||||
Once installation completes, the script should prompt you to reboot.
|
||||
|
||||
After reboot, log in to your Linux Mint Xfce or Xubuntu system.
|
||||
|
||||
### How to Change Themes
|
||||
|
||||
If you are using the Linux Mint Xfce edition, you need to make the following additional changes for the best results before changing the theme:
|
||||
|
||||
* Open Application Menu > Settings > Desktop, under the Icons tab, uncheck the Use custom font size.
|
||||
* Open Application Menu > Settings > Window Manager tweaks, under the Compositor tab, uncheck Show shadows under dock windows.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
You should now see a “ThemeTwister” icon on the desktop and open the application. This application gives you options to change themes, as shown below.
|
||||
|
||||
![Changing theme using ThemeTwister tool][10]
|
||||
|
||||
Select a theme and click on the respective button. Each time you change or apply a piece, the script asks you to log off. So make sure you close all your programs before changing the theme.
|
||||
|
||||
### How to Uninstall
|
||||
|
||||
If you are done and want to uninstall, then open a terminal and run the following shell script.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
sh /usr/share/ThemeSwitcher/uninstall.sh
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The above script only uninstalls Twister UI components and doesn’t uninstall Steam, Lutris etc. So if you want to uninstall, use the Software manager to uninstall them.
|
||||
|
||||
It would be best if you did a reboot after uninstallation.
|
||||
|
||||
### Review and Performance
|
||||
|
||||
As per the Pi Labs documentation, the customizations should not consume much additional memory. And it is true.
|
||||
|
||||
The customization is not impacting much on the desktop performance. When I ran one or two of the customization in Linux Mint Xfce edition in idle mode, it consumed around 740 MB of memory with CPU around 2% to 3%. This itself is impressive. The only cost of using this is the additional disk space.
|
||||
|
||||
![Resource Usage in Linux Mint with Twister UI][11]
|
||||
|
||||
The theme switcher is excellent and flawlessly changes the theme without surprises or errors.
|
||||
|
||||
In general, the entire process is error-free and went well as per its design.
|
||||
|
||||
### Closing Notes
|
||||
|
||||
After downloading individual themes icons and changing settings, you can manually configure your Linux distribution to look like Windows or macOS. That takes a lot of time and is sometimes difficult for new users. With that in mind, I think this new approach is a time saver and very easy for everyone. You can get all the required mods with just a click of a button.
|
||||
|
||||
There will always be an argument about why a Linux need to look like Windows or macOS. But older folks may not be familiar with computers much and remember the Windows colours and icons. They can adapt Linux using this simple modification without any hassles.
|
||||
|
||||
Overall, it’s an excellent project from the Pi Labs and helps many users worldwide.

使用 Twister UI 给你的 Linux Mint 和 Xubuntu 一个视觉上的提升
|
||||
======
|
||||
Twister UI 是给你的 Linux Mint 和 Xubuntu 提供视觉提升的最简单方法。以下是方法。
|
||||
|
||||
[Twister UI][1] 是你现有的 Linux Mint 和 Xubuntu 安装的一个插件。Pi 实验室创造了这个用户界面，他们为树莓派和相关硬件开发了 [Twister OS][2]。
|
||||
|
||||
### Twister UI
|
||||
|
||||
Twister UI 是 [Linux Mint][3] 的一个软件包集合，Xubuntu 带来了几个流行的操作系统特定的主题和配置，开箱即用。你只需点击一个按钮就可以应用它们。你不需要下载单独的图标、主题或光标。
|
||||
|
||||
最新的版本为以下操作系统类型提供了开箱即用的桌面主题、图标、声音和其他设置变化。
|
||||
|
||||
* 原生 Twister 操作系统主题
|
||||
* Windows 98、Windows 7、Windows XP
|
||||
* Windows 11、Windows 10
|
||||
* iTwister 和 iTwister Sur (用于 macOS)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
#### 它是如何工作的？
|
||||
|
||||
该团队准备了自动脚本，从 GitHub 下载所有流行的操作系统特定的主题、声音等。然后脚本修改它们，从 Ubuntu 仓库下载额外的包，并整体安装这个附加组件。安装程序自己负责安装一切，你需要做的就是等待。
|
||||
|
||||
在向你解释如何安装之前，让我们看看这个操作系统 mod 的一些截图和功能。这些截图来自应用了这个操作系统 mod 的 Linux Mint Xfce 版。
|
||||
|
||||
#### 它的外观（截图）

||||

|
||||
|
||||
![Twister UI – Windows XP Theme][5]
|
||||
|
||||
![native Twister OS theme][6]
|
||||
|
||||
#### Twister UI 软件包的内容
|
||||
|
||||
该软件包带来了自己的设置应用，名为 ThemeTwister。你可以用它来快速切换主题。你可以随心所欲地在它们之间转换。没有任何中断。
|
||||
|
||||
该项目还默认安装了一些好的开源包。它安装了 Lutris、Steam 游戏平台以帮助你快速玩游戏。它还为用户安装了 Discord，Wine 模拟器。
|
||||
|
||||
正如你所看到的，考虑到这个附加组件的用户群，该团队仔细考虑了要安装哪些软件包。
|
||||
|
||||
### 如何安装
|
||||
|
||||
如果你打算安装这个，我建议在 Linux Mint Xfce 版和 Xubuntu 中使用这个包。不要试图在其他 Linux 发行版中安装它_（我在阅读文档之前就试过了，我把我的 Fedora 安装搞得一团糟，所以不要在其他发行版中尝试）_。
|
||||
|
||||
要求是安装 Linux Mint Xfce 或 Xubuntu（无论是 32 位还是 64 位）。它还需要大约 5GB 的磁盘空间。
|
||||
|
||||
首先，从下面的链接中下载该软件包，其中包含 Torrent 链接。它不是一个 ISO 文件。它由三个文件组成，其中一个是实际的脚本。
|
||||
|
||||
[下载 Twister UI][1]
|
||||
|
||||
下载完毕后，打开下载的文件夹，你应该看到一个扩展名为 .run 的文件（如下图所示）。
|
||||
|
||||
![Give the execute permission to the run file][7]
|
||||
|
||||
改变该文件的权限，使其可执行。然后通过终端运行它。
|
||||
|
||||
该脚本需要一个管理员密码，所以在要求时就提供这个密码。在你开始安装之前，请确保你有一个稳定的网络连接，以便即时下载其他软件包。
|
||||
|
||||
![Starting the installation script][8]
|
||||
|
||||
下载和安装需要一些时间。取决于你的网速，可能需要 15 到 20 分钟左右。
|
||||
|
||||
你应该知道，安装程序将取代默认的 Plymouth 和更新 initramfs。
|
||||
|
||||
安装完成后，脚本应该提示你重新启动。
|
||||
|
||||
重启后，登录到你的 Linux Mint Xfce 或 Xubuntu 系统。
|
||||
|
||||
### 如何改变主题
|
||||
|
||||
如果你使用的是 Linux Mint Xfce 版，在改变主题之前，你需要做以下额外的改变以获得最佳效果：
|
||||
|
||||
* 打开应用程序菜单 > 设置 > 桌面，在图标标签下，取消勾选使用自定义字体大小。
|
||||
* 打开应用程序菜单 > 设置 > 窗口管理器调整，在合成器标签下，取消勾选在停靠窗口下显示阴影。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
现在你应该在桌面上看到一个 “ThemeTwister” 图标，并打开该应用。这个应用为你提供了改变主题的选项，如下图所示。
|
||||
|
||||
![Changing theme using ThemeTwister tool][10]
|
||||
|
||||
选择一个主题并点击相应的按钮。每次你改变或应用一个主题时，脚本都会要求你注销。所以在改变主题之前，请确保你关闭所有的程序。
|
||||
|
||||
### 如何卸载
|
||||
|
||||
如果你完成后想卸载，那么打开终端，运行下面的 shell 脚本。
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
sh /usr/share/ThemeSwitcher/uninstall.sh
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
上述脚本只卸载了 Twister UI 组件，并没有卸载 Steam、Lutris 等。所以如果你想卸载，请使用软件管理器来卸载它们。
|
||||
|
||||
如果你在卸载后做一次重启，那将是最好的。
|
||||
|
||||
### 回顾和性能
|
||||
|
||||
根据 Pi 实验室的文件，定制应该不会消耗太多的额外内存。这也是事实。
|
||||
|
||||
定制对桌面性能影响不大。当我在 Linux Mint Xfce 版的空闲模式下运行一到两个定制程序时，它消耗了大约 740MB 的内存，CPU 大约 2% 到 3%。这本身就令人印象深刻。使用它的唯一代价是额外的磁盘空间。
|
||||
|
||||
![Resource Usage in Linux Mint with Twister UI][11]
|
||||
|
||||
主题切换器非常好，完美地改变了主题，没有惊喜和错误。
|
||||
|
||||
总的来说，整个过程是没有错误的，并且按照其设计进行得很好。
|
||||
|
||||
### 结尾说明
|
||||
|
||||
在下载独立主题图标和改变设置后，你可以手动配置你的 Linux 发行版，使其看起来像 Windows 或 macOS。这需要很多时间，有时对新用户来说也很困难。考虑到这一点，我认为这种新方法可以节省时间，对每个人来说都非常容易。你只需点击一个按钮，就可以得到所有需要的 mod。
|
||||
|
||||
总会有一种争论，为什么 Linux 需要看起来像 Windows 或 macOS。但老年人可能不太熟悉电脑，但记得 Windows 的颜色和图标。他们可以使用这种简单的修改来适应 Linux，而不会有任何麻烦。
|
||||
|
||||
总的来说，这是一个来自Pi实验室的优秀项目，可以帮助全世界的许多用户。
|
||||
