How to Customize a Linux Desktop

Under the same section of “LookNFeel” in the Control Center, select “Style”. There are 3 tabs in this section and you are going to customize each of these tabs. Under the “Widget Style” section, you select the theme that you like. There is a preview at the bottom for each style giving you a glimpse of the look and feel of the style. Once you select, click on “Apply.”

The “Effects” tab is used to change the visual effects of the desktop. These effects include the transparency and animation effects of menus. The “Miscellaneous” tab likewise offers customization features similar to the “Effects” tab. Since some of these effects may affect the performance of your computer, use them sparingly and do not enable too many at the same time. Test a combination of them to see the effect they have on the system perfomance.http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Tools/Control_Center

You can also customize the colors by going to the Control Center and selecting “Colors” under the “LookNFeel” section. Choose a color scheme or create your own using the Widget Color drop down list. Save any custom color scheme you create and then click on “Apply”. Close the Control Center and enjoy your customized Linux desktop.
