Ubuntu – How to open GNOME Tweak Tool from the terminal

command linegnome-tweak-tool

I'm trying the live CD as I am a new user. From the terminal, I have installed gnome tweak tool. After I had installed it, I wasn't able to find any icon to open the program. When I opened Ubuntu software center and searched for advanced settings, I found that it's installed but I can't open it.

Is there any method to open it from GUI or through a command in terminal ?

Ubuntu – How to install custom shell theme using gnome-tweak-tool

The Numix theme is my personal favourite. To install it -

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:numix/ppa

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install numix-gtk-theme

Otherwise, download the theme file and extract the theme file to /usr/share/themes.

To set the theme -

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme "Numix"

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences theme "Numix"

where Numix can be replaced with the name of the theme.
