How to: Tweak GTK and VIM simmilar to old BT5 days

[Hakuza]

Morning;

This is a How To, but is more appropriate for the "installation" thread, so I'm posting here...

I was a big fan of the Dust theme used in BT5 ("dark for dark business"). I also prefer VIM syntax highlighting and whatnot.

Below are the steps taken to make that happen. You can see a screenshot of the them on the gnome-look site. I couldn't upload here as there's a 19kb limit

Enjoy.

How:
1) Configure GTK look and feel
# dpkg -s libgtk-3-0 | grep '^Version'
Version: 3.4.2-6

Installed: Nissl-Adwaita-Dark-4 theme from:
http://gnome-look.org/content/show.p...content=149521

Download the theme, unzip, untar, then move the directory as:
# mv Nissl-Adwaita-Dark-4 /usr/share/themes/

Install gnome-tweak-tool:
# apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool

Run as:
# gnome-tweak-tool
Or, Applications --> System Tools --> Preferences --> Advanced Settings
In the Theme tab set:
Icon theme: Ubuntu-mono-dark
GTK+ theme: Nissl-Adwaita-Dark-4
Window theme: Nissl-Adwaita-Dark-4

2) Configure vi/vim
# cp /etc/vim/vimrc ~/.vimrc
Edit ~/.vimrc
I did not uncomment the "filetype pluigin indent on" as I prefer manual tabs.
I did uncomment:
syntax on
set background=dark
set showcmd
set showmatch
set ignorecase
set smartcase
set incsearch
set autowrite
set hidden
set mouse=a
