Download Ubuntu Tweak
Edmond Peralto
The program you're trying to install is abandonware (has been abondon and is no longer supported)... it isn't available for the latest Ubuntu (16.04). You would have to use one of the other tweak programs available for the later versions of Ubuntu such as:
Another alternative of this gir1.2-vte-2.90error been reported to bugs.launchpad.net, where one of the users has described a method and provided files to make it run on Ubuntu 16.04. Hist direct entry in the bug report is: -tweak/+bug/1555706/comments/5
As L. D. James has already answered that Ubuntu tweak is discontinued and you better use other alternatives like Unity Tweak tool or Gnome Tweak Tool, but If you really want to use Ubuntu tweak on Xenial Xerus (16.04), here is the procedure. But, be warned that, many of the functionalities may not work properly.
Please bear with me, I have only been using Ubuntu for a month. I love it so far, but have run into a problem I can't seem to find a solution for. I've been trying to install Anaconda on my system but have been unable to update and the errors are pointing to the ubuntu-tweak tool and bionic release.
I did not post any results because I could not get gnome-tweak-tool to work in Mate it seems to be installed but when I try adding the global dark theme in does not seem to work. I decided to just use the Appearance Preferences and add the dark theme. I cannot even get gnome-tweak-tool to appear so I can add it to my docky. it is installed but I can only launch it by using the terminal
First I heard of the Gnome Tweak Tool. I am still using the old Ubuntu Tweak, primarily for the Janitor function. Does Gnome tweak interface well with UM16.04LTS? Does it have a Janitor/Cleaner capability?
The clock is an ever-present part of most computer interfaces. In Ubuntu, it sits at the top of the screen, directly in the center. The Settings app gives you the option to switch between 12-hour or 24-hour time, which is as much configuration as most of us want. But if you want to tweak the clock further, that's where GNOME Tweaks comes in.
If you think apps look better with just a close button, you can make this adjustment using GNOME Tweaks. Or if you prefer to have all of your buttons on the left, like on a MacBook (or previous versions of Ubuntu), then you can make that tweak as well. Just look under Window Titlebars > Titlebar Buttons.
While my experience thus far with Kubuntu 22.04 has been positive, I did find a minor issue with touchpad scrolling in (non-Snap) Firefox. While moving my two fingers across the touchpad smoothly, which is supposed to make the page on screen scroll smoothly, it would move in short bursts, like I was scrolling a mouse wheel one click at a time. I found that the solution is to run Firefox with the environment variable MOZ_USE_XINPUT2 set to 1.
In a manner quite similar to what I've written in my Fedora 30 post-install tweaking guide, I'd like to show you what you can do to makeUbuntu MATE Disco instantly fun and productive. I'd like to help you navigate the MATE desktop, figureout how to handle different layouts, workaround niggles, get extra software, and then some. Proceedgingerly we shall.
By default, MATE uses Brisk, which is nice but not configurable enough. For example, it comes with ahard-coded dark theme and non-resizable frame, so you may end up with scrollbars even for tiny changesin the visual layout. As an alternative, you can delete the Brisk widget from the top panel and useAdvanced MATE Menu, which comes with a rather rich context menu, and it allows you to tweak the lookand feel.
I wrote this guide because some of the changes aren't straightforward, and some of the tweaks areactually workarounds to bugs. I believe these will probably be fixed in future versions of Ubuntu MATE,but until then, you have the tips and tricks presented here to keep you warm on a cold night. That, andmaybe a bowl of mate. Or something. Hopefully, this was useful. I mean the tutorial, not the beautifuljoke I made right then. Take care, Web denizens.
Like most of you, once I've installed a new distro I set up my comfort zone, which means installing my favourite desktops, browsers and file managers. I then like to fine tune my desktop with some eye candy and productive tweaks. This can involve a fair amount of work and settings and configurations can be disabled or corrupted by updates or careless tinkering with system files.
This little tweak forces the system to always use hibernate to but in a way that is similar to the behavior you get when closing the Macbook lid (and I could be wrong here, just going by what I observed when I had a Macbook).
This open source icon is named "ubuntu tweak" and is licensed under the open source CC BY 3.0 license. It's available to be downloaded in SVG and PNG formats (available in 256, 512, 1024 and 2048 PNG sizes).
It's part of the icon set "Clarity Icons", which has 958 icons in it.
The following styles have this icon in it: Monotone
If you need this icon available in another format, it should be pretty straight forward to download it as an SVG image file, and then import it into apps like Adobe Illustrator, Pablo, Photoshop or RelayThat. Converting it to an ICO, JPEG or WebP image format or file type should also be pretty simple (we hope to add that feature to Iconduck soon).
