Various build and run helper for communitheme snap.
Snap build status:
We're currently still developing the theme, but you can try it out for yourself. Be warned though, this is a pre-release alpha state. These packages are mainly intended for the Communitheme designers to get a sense of what actually works in Ubuntu. Many icons are missing, some stuff is just a white squircle. You will find issues and stuff will break.
Note that these steps only work on Ubuntu 18.04 (bionic beaver).
Follow these steps in order to install and enable communitheme.
- Install the communitheme snap on 18.04 by installing
communithemein the Ubuntu Software Application or runningsnap install communitheme. - Restart your computer. The login screen will now use Communitheme by default. Click on your user, click on the gear icon ans select the "Ubuntu with communitheme snap" session from the login screen, and login.
- Now everything is using the communitheme including applications, icons, sound notifications and cursor. Any new update of communitheme will come directly to you on a regular basis thanks to the snap without having to run any command!
The following video guides you through these steps.
