Description

I like the user interface of Qwit but Gwibber seems superior in terms of features. To enjoy the benefits of both, I created a Gwibber theme based on the compact theme that comes with Gwibber. The theme resembles the message display of Qwit but is not an exact copy.

Requirements

Gwibber with support for Version 2 Themes (Tested with Gwibber 2.30)

Installation

The theme can be installed either by creating a directory in the user's home directory or by copying to /usr/share/gwibber/ui/themes/. The first way is recommended and can be accomplished by opening a terminal and running the following commands:

$ mkdir -p ~/.local/share/gwibber/ui/themes/

$ cd ~/.local/share/gwibber/ui/themes/

$ wget http://livoris.de/releases/gwibber-qwittheme.tar.gz

$ tar -xvzf gwibber-qwittheme.tar.gz

Instead of getting the tar archive, it is also possible to get the newest source from github.

$ mkdir -p ~/.local/share/gwibber/ui/themes/

$ cd ~/.local/share/gwibber/ui/themes/

$ git clone git://github.com/levjj/gwibber-qwittheme.git

After installing the theme, it can be activated by going to Edit -> Preferences -> Style and selected qwit as theme.

Acknowledgement

The project is based on the great work of the Gwibber team, the Qwit developers and the jQuery project.
