Faenza 0.8 GNOME Icon Theme
Download the tar.gz file and extract it. In the new folder created, run the ./INSTALL script to choose the distribution logo (Ubuntu, by default) and the Gnome menu icon. If run as root, the script will copy the iconsets to /usr/share/icons to made them available to all users. Some default icons used by Rhythmbox and Dockmanager may be also replaced.
Launchpad PPA
You can also install the folowing packages:
To display the Faenza icon, edit as root the /usr/share/applications/application_name.desktop file and locate the line beginning with 'Icon='. Replace the fullpath icon name by the one of the Faenza icon (usually, it's the name of the application itself) without the extension. Don't forget to make a backup before changing one of those files. In some cases, you need to reinitialize the item in Gnome menu editor to display the new icon. Vim desktop file is /usr/share/applications/gvim.desktop.

Enable Transparent Gnome Panels/Menus/Windows in Ubuntu 10.10
Do you want to customize your Ubuntu desktop with the transparent panels, menus, and windows? As we know, Compiz can do the job, but what if you don't need a complete transparency and want the font and controls/buttons is still perfectly visible?
This tutorial is about how to enable RGBA transparency in Gnome desktop, and this might be what you want.
Preparation :
To get RGBA transparency enabled in your Ubuntu, first you need to install and enable graphics driver properly.
And in right-click desktop menu "Change Desktop Background" option Visual Effects tab, make sure Normal or Extra was enabled.
Installation:
Open up a teminal from Appications -> Accessoires menu and add the PPA:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:erik-b-andersen/rgba-gtk
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
Now, install gnome-color-chooser and you can use it to enable RGBA:
sudo apt-get install gnome-color-chooser gtk2-module-rgba
Launch gnome-color-chooser at System > Preferences > Gnome Color Chooser. Go to Engines tab, tick "Global" and select "Murrine" in the drop-down box.
Now, click Preferences button to go to its configuration window and check the two check-boxes after "Configuration of Enable/Disable RGBA support"
Finally, logout and back in.
Note:
1. You can also install murrine themes with below command, and use it in right-click desktop -> Change Desktop Background -> Theme tab -> click Customize button.
sudo apt-get install murrine-themes
2. Due to bugs, the panel is only partially transparent and only GTK+ applications support RGBA transparency.

Guide to using apt-get
apt-get
is the command-line tool for handling packages, and may be considered the user’s “back-end” to other tools using the APT library. APT is actually both a library and a front-end for dpkg
to work with Debian’s .deb packages. It’s designed to track package dependencies, call dpkg
and make the software installation easy.Note: This entry is written with Ubuntu users in mind, hence the use of sudo when root access is required.
Package installation
Install a new package like follows:
sudo apt-get install foobar
You can also install multiple packages with one line, just separate the package names with a space:
sudo apt-get install foobar1 foobar2 foobar3
All required dependencies by the package(s) specified for installation will also be retrieved and installed.
Search
(OK, so you don’t use apt-get for searching, but
apt-cache
. Still comes in pretty handy though.) When you can’t remember the correct package name then you can search package names and descriptions usingapt-cache search foobar
Or, for a fuzzy search try
apt-cache search foo
This can result in a long list, every package that includes ‘foo’ anywhere in its name or description will be listed. To narrow it down to package names, or packages with words in their descriptions, which start with ‘foo’ try
apt-cache search ^foo
For names/words that end with ‘foo’ try
apt-cache search foo$
Installation from source
Instead of APT fetching the pre-built .deb for a package you can also use APT to build the package from its source code and get an optimised version for your system. Generally debs are absolutely fine to install, but you could see performance increases with CPU intensive packages (e.g. ffmpeg).
sudo apt-get build-dep foobar
sudo apt-get -b source foobar
The first line causes
apt-get
to install/remove packages in an attempt to satisfy the build dependencies for the package foobar. The second line fetches the source package for foobar. It finds and downloads the newest available version of that source package into the current directory. Source packages are tracked separately from binary packages via deb-src type lines in the /etc/apt/sources.list
file. This probably will mean that you will not get the same source as the package you have installed or as you could install. With the -b
option specified the package will be compiled to a binary .deb using dpkg-buildpackage
. Depending on the package this can take a long time.Once built, install the package with
sudo dpkg -i foobar-version-number.deb
Package removal and clean-up
To remove a package use
sudo apt-get remove foobar
The software package will be removed, but all of its configuration files will be left behind. This could come in handy if you ever plan on re-installing the package, everything will be back to the way it was before the uninstall.
To remove a package complete with its configuration files use
sudo apt-get --purge remove foobar
What happens to dependencies that were installed with the package? They are left behind. To clean these up use
sudo apt-get autoremove
autoremove
removes packages that were automatically installed to satisfy dependencies for some package and that are no longer needed. If you have been trying out a lot of software then this might free up some disk space.sudo apt-get autoclean
autoclean
clears out the local repository (/var/cache/apt/archives/
and/var/cache/apt/archives/partial/
) of retrieved package files that can no longer be downloaded and are largely useless. This allows a cache to be maintained over a long period without it growing out of control.sudo apt-get clean
clean
is more thorough than autoclean
. It removes everything but the lock file from/var/cache/apt/archives/
and /var/cache/apt/archives/partial/
. You will likely want to run apt-get clean from time to time to free up disk space.Upgrade
There are two ways to upgrade your system. First a software update:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
This installs the newest versions of all packages currently installed on the system. Packages currently installed with new versions available are retrieved and upgraded; under no circumstances are currently installed packages removed, or packages not already installed retrieved and installed. New versions of currently installed packages that cannot be upgraded without changing the install status of another package will be left at their current version. An update must be performed first so that apt-get knows that new versions of packages are available.
Second, a distro upgrade:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
dist-upgrade
in addition to performing the function of upgrade
, also intelligently handles changing dependencies with new versions of packages; apt-get
has a “smart” conflict resolution system, and it will attempt to upgrade the most important packages at the expense of less important ones if necessary. The /etc/apt/sources.list
file contains a list of locations from which to retrieve desired package files.source : http://www.larryni.me.uk/blog/

- customizable settings (timeouts, packets/sec, channel, change mac address, ignore fake-auth, etc)
- "anonymous" feature; changes MAC to a random address before attacking, then changes back when attacks are complete
- all WPA handshakes are backed up to wifite.py's current directory
- smart WPA deauthentication -- cycles between all clients and broadcast deauths
- stop any attack with Ctrl+C -- options: continue, move onto next target, skip to cracking, or exit
- switching WEP attack methods does not reset IVs
- intel 4965 chipset fake-authentication support; uses wpa_supplicant workaround
- SKA support (untested)
- displays session summary at exit; shows any cracked keys
- all passwords saved to log.txt
- built-in updater: ./wifite.py -upgrade
