如果你要求我将 MATE 桌面现代化，并增加功能和 GTK 支持，我可能会想出像 Budgie 这样的东西！


Budgie，是一款令人惊艳的桌面环境（DE），为你提供熟悉的布局和独特的用户体验。


那么，如何自定义你的 Budgie 桌面才能提升个人体验呢？莫慌；我这里有几条妙计助你改善你的 Budgie 体验。


我们的目标大致如下：


* 修改壁纸
* 修改主题，图标以及光标（简易操作）
* 自定义面板
* 自定义停靠区


让我们开始吧！?


### 1、改变 Budgie 桌面环境壁纸


Budgie 桌面预装了一些好看的壁纸。


修改 Budgie 桌面壁纸，你们只需要做这两个小步骤：


1. 在主界面点击右键，选择 “<ruby> 改变桌面背景 <rt>  Change Desktop Background </rt></ruby>”
2. 选择图片，然后该图片就会应用在你的主屏幕中


![](/data/attachment/album/202311/12/160411xa9ecsmns9nggusc.png)


要是你不太中意其中的可用壁纸，你也可以自网络下载相关壁纸。


下好后，打开文件管理器，导航至图片所在位置，右键点击该图片，选择 “<ruby> 设置为壁纸…… <rp>  （ </rp> <rt>  Set as Wallpaper... </rt> <rp>  ） </rp></ruby>”选项。


![](/data/attachment/album/202311/12/160412f9ram0su6152t6v4.png)


### 2、修改桌面主题、图标以及光标主题


通常情况下，我们从网络上下载了主题，提取下载的文件，然后就会将文件移动到相应目录以便 [应用于 Linux 主题](https://itsfoss.com/install-themes-ubuntu/)。



> 
> **[如何在 Ubnutu 上安装主题](https://itsfoss.com/install-themes-ubuntu/)**
> 
> 
> 


但要那么整的话，既需要花费些功夫，又不是最高效的方法。（如果你好奇去试试的话）


那么此处便是 **ocs-url** 工具发力的地方了。


**ocs-url** 是一款一键安装所有主题风格（比如说来自 [gnome-look.org](http://gnome-look.org) 门户网站内容）的工具。



> 
> ? [Gnome-look.org](http://Gnome-look.org) 和 [pling.com](http://pling.com) 是 [Opendesktop.org](https://www.opendesktop.org/) 旗下的两个网络站点，可以帮助你一站式搜索主题风格，壁纸，图标，以及其它好物。
> 
> 
> 


这个工具与任何桌面环境都没有官方隶属关系。


但令人遗憾的是，它没有被任何 Linux 发行版的软件包管理器包含，也就是说你得在你的系统里手动安装它。


那么首先，移动至 [ocs-url 的官方下载页面](https://www.opendesktop.org/p/1136805/)，转到 “<ruby> 文件 <rt>  Files </rt></ruby>” 选项卡，将软件包下载至你的系统中：


![](/data/attachment/album/202311/12/160413jq8xct16gatu1q6q.png)


完成后，打开你的命令提示符，将文件地址改成文件下载的位置。对于大多数用户来说，便是下载（`Downloads`）文件夹：



```
cd Downloads

```

现在，使用你的 Linux 发行版对应的指令：


**适用于 Ubuntu：**



```
sudo dpkg -i ocs-url*.deb

```

**适用于 Fedora：**



```
sudo dnf install qt5-qtbase qt5-qtbase-gui qt5-qtsvg qt5-qtdeclarative qt5-qtquickcontrols && sudo rpm -i ocs-url*.rpm

```

**适用于 Arch：**



```
sudo pacman -S qt5-base qt5-svg qt5-declarative qt5-quickcontrols && sudo pacman -U ocs-url*.pkg.tar.xz

```

**适用于 openSUSE：**



```
sudo zypper install libQt5Svg5 libqt5-qtquickcontrols && sudo rpm -i ocs-url*.rpm

```

现在，让我们看看该如何安装主题风格，图标以及光标风格。


#### 修改系统主题风格


修改系统主题风格的第一步 —— 访问 [Gnome Look](https://www.gnome-look.org/browse?cat=135&ord=latest) 门户网站并选择你中意的主题风格（你可以在 GTK 3 和 GTK 4 之间选择）。


![](/data/attachment/album/202311/12/160414f54htt4mxyf7bkbk.png)


选择任意你最喜欢的主题风格；这里我选择 “Kripton” 风格,你可以看到有一个 “<ruby> 安装 <rt>  Install </rt></ruby>” 选项。


在这里，你需要遵循两个小步骤：


* 点击 “<ruby> 安装 <rt>  Install </rt></ruby>” 按钮之后，会呈现该主题风格的不同类型。选择其中一个。
* 然后会跳出一个提示符，你需要再点击一次 “<ruby> 安装 <rt>  Install </rt></ruby>” 按钮：


![](/data/attachment/album/202311/12/160414gcjssdscdtzsmzjq.png)


然后它会打开 ocs-url 工具询问你是否安装所选主题风格。


点击 “<ruby> 确定 <rt>  OK </rt></ruby>” 按钮安装该主题风格：


![](/data/attachment/album/202311/12/160415wlliiqfdzyeoitig.png)


现在，进入 <ruby> Budgie 桌面设置 <rt>  Budgie Desktop Settings </rt></ruby> 界面，然后在“<ruby> 样式 <rt>  Style </rt></ruby>” 子菜单下的 “<ruby> 组件 <rt>  Widget </rt></ruby>” 选项中点击需要安装的主题风格。


![](/data/attachment/album/202311/12/160416hg0sxllxbgmxzfxe.png)


#### 修改图标


要修改图标，先访问有关 [Gnome-look 门户网站中的图标区](https://www.gnome-look.org/browse?cat=132&ord=latest)，来搜索你中意的图标：


![](/data/attachment/album/202311/12/160418ulybtix9p7zwlbxx.png)


找到图标后，可以看到有两个按钮：“<ruby> 下载 <rt>  Download </rt></ruby>” 和 “<ruby> 安装 <rt>  Install </rt></ruby>”。点击 “<ruby> 安装 <rt>  Install </rt></ruby>” 按钮。


可以看到有多个图标，但大多数例子里只展现了一个。点击选项之一，弹出提示，再次点击“<ruby> 安装 <rt>  Install </rt></ruby>”按钮：


![](/data/attachment/album/202311/12/160419miinkqkzgm22yznb.png)


然后，可以看到来自 ocs-url 弹出的提示符询问你是否安装所选图标包，点击 “<ruby> 确定 <rt>  OK </rt></ruby>” 安装图标包：


![](/data/attachment/album/202311/12/160420cvkapa0psdud7vkc.png)


下一步，打开 <ruby> Budgie 桌面设置 <rt>  Budgie Desktop Settings </rt></ruby> 的 “<ruby> 图标 <rt>  icons </rt></ruby>” 子菜单，你便可以使用最近安装过的图标风格（我用过 elementary-kde 风格）：


![](/data/attachment/album/202311/12/160421x918bi7grjbygc8b.png)


#### 修改光标主题风格


和之前步骤类似，访问 [Gnome Look 门户网站的光标区](https://www.gnome-look.org/browse?cat=107&ord=latest) 搜索最适合你的光标：


![](/data/attachment/album/202311/12/160421kevtrr22cvve5mcb.png)


选好心仪的光标风格后，点击相应选项，然后你就可以安装相对应的光标风格了。


弹出提示，再次点击“<ruby> 安装 <rp>  （ </rp> <rt>  Install </rt> <rp>  ） </rp></ruby>”按钮：


![](/data/attachment/album/202311/12/160422wc2cve20nvg4pecv.png)


弹出来自 ocs-url 工具的提示，点击安装光标主题风格。只需要点个 “<ruby> 确定 <rt>  OK </rt></ruby>” 然后开始安装：


![](/data/attachment/album/202311/12/160422anqdz3gm4m8844di.png)


完成后，打开 <ruby> Budgie 桌面设置 <rt>  Budgie Desktop Settings </rt></ruby> 界面，在对应子页面的 “<ruby> 光标 <rt>  Cursors </rt></ruby>” 面板中选择刚刚安装的光标主题风格：


![](/data/attachment/album/202311/12/160423kox0o3cvrorrxx5z.png)


### 3、自定义 Budgie 桌面面板


根据 Linux 发行版的不同，面板的位置也可能不同。例如，假设你用的是 Solus 的 Budgie 或者 Ubuntu 的 Budgie。


打开 <ruby> Budgie 桌面设置 <rt>  Budgie Desktop Settings </rt></ruby> ，在那里你可以寻找到对于面板的相关设置：


![](/data/attachment/album/202311/12/160525iq0pv0a0z179fvb0.png)


如你所见，它将启用的小程序分三个部分显示在面板上：


<ruby> 始端 <rt>  Start </rt></ruby>（最左侧）、<ruby> 中间 <rt>  Center </rt></ruby>，以及 <ruby> 末端 <rt>  End </rt></ruby>（最右侧）。



> 
> ? 注意，每个小程序有自己不同的设置选项，所以还能单独设置它们。
> 
> 
> 


你可以在它们之间做些调整。比如，在这个地方我将时钟工具挪到左边，以便它和我的工作流界面看起来更加融洽：


![](/data/attachment/album/202311/12/160525b10vrbqsizx7hxcu.png)


要想移动小程序，只需要选中该小程序然后点击上下箭头按钮（位于小程序列表上方）。


如果你想移除小程序，只需要选中该程序然后点击删除按钮即可：


![](/data/attachment/album/202311/12/160525slleee6db6dgh86l.png)


这里有一个 “+” 图标样式的选项，可以添加更多小程序。点击它，会为你弹出所有可用的小程序。


找到一个有用的小程序，选中该程序并点击 “<ruby> 添加 <rt>  Add </rt></ruby>” 按钮：


![](/data/attachment/album/202311/12/160525i3qs4j11oa1jy11z.png)


要是你希望面板变透明、想1添加阴影，想增加或减少小程序之间的距离，那么就访问设置菜单中的这个页面（如下图）：


![](/data/attachment/album/202311/12/160526wfc99fzzkly9z3lc.png)


举个例子，这里，我将自己的面板设置了透明和阴影，让它看起来更舒服点：


![](/data/attachment/album/202311/12/160526gk3xxbaawu2jucus.png)


### 4、定制 Budgie 桌面的停靠区


在本节，我会向你介绍如何将自己的停靠区设计得更好，功能性更强：


* 修改停靠区主题风格
* 添加更多工具应用以赋予停靠区更多特性


#### 修改停靠区主题风格


可惜啦，这次 ocs-url 工具可就帮不上什么忙了，设置的唯一方式就是手动操作！


首先，[访问 Gnome Look 的 Plank 主题区](https://www.gnome-look.org/browse?cat=273&ord=latest)，下载你心仪的 Plank 停靠区主题风格。


这里，我选了模仿 macOS 系统的 Monterey 主题风格（dark-inline 版）：


![](/data/attachment/album/202311/12/160526pov543ty8rbzoxbr.png)


现在，打开命令提示符，找到该主题风格下载位置。


对大多数用户来说，即下载（`Downloads`）文件夹所在位置：



```
cd ~/Downloads

```

现在，[使用解压指令](https://itsfoss.com/unzip-linux/) 将文件释放到 `.local/share/plank/themes/`：



```
unzip <theme_name.zip> -d .local/share/plank/themes/

```

在我的环境下是这样：



```
unzip Monterey-Dark-inline.zip -d ~/.local/share/plank/themes/

```

![](/data/attachment/album/202311/12/160527cwubi5b4eb51ooci.png)


然后，打开 “<ruby> Plank 偏好设置 <rt>  Plank preferences </rt></ruby>”，改成刚下载的主题。


我将我的风格改成 “Monterey -Dark inline”：


![](/data/attachment/album/202311/12/160527u14p2zw879pvn298.png)


#### 添加 docklet 应用以增加更多特性


可以、把 docklet 应用当作 applet，但与它不同的是，没有太多选项。


想要添加或移除 docklet 应用，首先得需要打开 “<ruby> Plank 偏好设置 <rt>  Plank preferences </rt></ruby>”，然后访问 “Docklets” 菜单，列出可用选项：


![](/data/attachment/album/202311/12/160527wy8yy10l909028et.png)


现在，如果你想添加一些 docklet 应用，只需要把它们拖进停靠区即可：


![](/data/attachment/album/202311/12/160528twe5wz4xwnii5fiw.gif)


但如果你想把添加的 docklet 应用移除出去呢？


简单，把它们从停靠区中拖拽出去就行了：


![](/data/attachment/album/202311/12/160529m272byy7haj72y5o.gif)


### 准备好使用 Budgie 了吗？


当然，为了方便起见，你可以安装已内置 Budgie 桌面环境的 Linux 发行版。


或者你还是可以选择在你现有的发行版（比如说 Ubuntu）中 [安装 Budgie](https://itsfoss.com/install-budgie-ubuntu/)：



> 
> **[如何在 Ubuntu 上安装 Budgie](https://itsfoss.com/install-budgie-ubuntu/)**

If you ask me to make the MATE desktop modernized with added features and GTK support, I may come up with something like Budgie!

Budgie is an impressive desktop environment (DE) that provides you with a familiar layout along with a unique user experience.

So, how can you customize the Budgie desktop to elevate your experience? Fret not; I got your back here with some essential tips to tweak your Budgie experience.

I will help you do the following:

**Change wallpaper****Change themes, icons, and cursor (the easy way)****Customize panel****Customize dock**

Let us get started! 🤩

## 1. Change the wallpaper of Budgie DE

The Budgie desktop comes with some beautiful wallpapers pre-installed.

To change the wallpaper on Budgie's desktop, all you have to do is follow two simple steps:

- Right-click on the home screen and choose
`Change Desktop Backgroun`

option - Select the image, and it will be applied to your home screen

![budgie desktop background change](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/08/Change-wallpaper.png)

But if you don't like the available options, you can always download wallpapers from the web.

Once done, open the file manager, navigate to where the image is located, right-click on the image, and choose the `Set as Wallpaper...`

option.

![Set third-party wallpaper in budgie desktop](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/08/Set-third-party-wallpaper-in-budgie-desktop.png)

## 2. Change the desktop theme, icons, and cursor theme

Traditionally, we download themes from the web, extract the downloaded file, and move files to the respective directory to [apply the theme on Linux](https://itsfoss.com/install-themes-ubuntu/).

[How to Install Themes in Ubuntu LinuxThis beginner’s guide shows you how to install themes in Ubuntu. The tutorial covers the installation of icon themes, cursor themes, GTK themes and GNOME Shell themes.](https://itsfoss.com/install-themes-ubuntu/)![](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/03/install-theme-ubuntu.png)


![](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/03/install-theme-ubuntu.png)

But that takes a while and may not be the quickest way to do it. You are free to explore it above if you are curious.

And that's where the **ocs-url** tool comes into play.

A tool that will install any theme (from portals like *gnome-look.org*) with a single click.

[Opendesktop.org](https://www.opendesktop.org)to help you find themes, wallpapers, icons, and other goodies in a single place.

It is in no way officially affiliated with any desktop environment.

But the sad part is that it is not available in the package manager of any Linux distribution, which means you have to install it on your system manually.

So first, go to the [official download page of the ocs-url](https://www.opendesktop.org/p/1136805/), go to the `Files`

tab, and download packages for your system:

![Download ocs-url in budgie](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/08/Download-ocs-url-in-budgie.png)

Once done, open your terminal and change the directory where the file was downloaded. For the most users, it will be the `Downloads`

directory:

`cd Downloads `


Now, use the following command for your Linux distro:

**For Ubuntu:**

`sudo dpkg -i ocs-url*.deb`


**For Fedora:**

`sudo dnf install qt5-qtbase qt5-qtbase-gui qt5-qtsvg qt5-qtdeclarative qt5-qtquickcontrols && sudo rpm -i ocs-url*.rpm`


**For Arch:**

`sudo pacman -S qt5-base qt5-svg qt5-declarative qt5-quickcontrols && sudo pacman -U ocs-url*.pkg.tar.xz`


**For openSUSE:**

```
sudo zypper install libQt5Svg5 libqt5-qtquickcontrols && sudo rpm -i ocs-url*.rpm
```


Now, let's take a look at how you install system themes, icons, and cursor themes.

### Change system theme

To change the system theme, first, visit the [Gnome Look](https://www.gnome-look.org/browse?cat=135&ord=latest) portal and select your preferred theme (you can choose between GTK 3 and 4 themes):

![Open gnome look to install system themes in budgie desktop](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/09/Open-gnome-look-to-install-system-themes-in-budgie-desktop.png)

Decide any of your favorite themes; here, I'm going with the `Kripton`

theme. From there, you will see the option to `Install`

themes.

From here, you will have to follow two simple steps:

- After clicking on the
`Install`

button, it will show different variations of the theme. Choose one of them. - Next, it will open a prompt, there you have to hit the
`Install`

button:

![downloading themes from gnome-look.org](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/09/Install-theme-from-ocs-url-in-budgie-dekstop.png)

It will open ocs-url asking you whether you want to install the selected theme.

Simply press the `OK`

button to install the theme:

![Install theme from ocs-url](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/09/Install-theme-from-ocs-url.png)

Now, access the **Budgie Desktop Settings** and pick the installed theme from the `Widget`

option under **Style** section.

![](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/09/Change-theme-in-Budgie-desktop-using-the-budgie-desktop-settings-1.png)

### Change icons

To change icons, [visit the Icon section of the Gnome-look](https://www.gnome-look.org/browse?cat=132&ord=latest) portal, and find/search for the icon that suits you the best:

![](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/09/Download-icons-for-budgie-desktop.png)

Once you find that perfect icon, you will find two options there: Download and Install. Click on the `Install`

button.

You may find multiple icons, but in most cases there will only be one. Click on that option, it will open a prompt. Again, hit the `Install`

button:

![Install icons for budgie desktop environment](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/09/Install-icons-for-budgie-desktop-environment.png)

Soon, you'll see a prompt from ocs-url asking whether you want to install the selected icon pack or not. Hit the `OK`

button to install the icon pack:

![Use ocs-url to install icons in budgie desktop environment](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/09/Use-ocs-url-to-install-icons-in-budgie-desktop-environment.png)

Next, open the **Budgie Desktop Settings** and from the icons, you can select the recently installed icons (I went with the elementary-kde option):

![](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/09/Select-icon-to-customize-the-budgie-desktop-from-budgie-desktop-settings.png)

### Change cursor theme

Similar to the above, [visit the Gnome Look's cursor icon section](https://www.gnome-look.org/browse?cat=107&ord=latest) to find the most suitable cursor theme for you:

![Download cursor icon for budgie desktop environment](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/09/Download-cursor-icons-for-budgie-desktop.png)

Once you find the perfect cursor theme, click on the option, and you will see the option to install the selected cursor theme.

It will open a prompt and there, click again on the installation button:

![Install cursor icons for the budgie desktop environment](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/09/Install-cursor-icons-for-the-budgie-desktop-environment.png)

You will see a prompt from the ocs-url to install the cursor theme. All you have to do is press the `OK`

button to start the installation:

![Install the cursor icon theme in budgie desktop environment using the ocs-url](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/09/Install-the-cursor-icon-theme-in-budgie-desktop-environment-using-the-ocs-url.png)

Once done, open the Budgie Desktop Settings and choose the cursor theme from the `Cursors`

:

![Select the cursor icon theme from the budgie desktop settings for custoomizing the budgie desktop environment](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/09/Select-the-cursor-icon-theme-from-the-budgie-desktop-settings-for-custoomizing-the-budgie-desktop-environment.png)

## 3. Customize the panel in Budgie Desktop

Depending on the Linux distro, the position for the panel may differ. For instance, you could be using Solus Budgie or Ubuntu Budgie.

To access the settings for the panel, open the Budgie Desktop Settings, and from there you will find the settings for the panel:

![Access budgie desktop panel settings](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/09/Access-budgie-desktop-panel-settings.png)

As you can see, it shows the enabled applets on the panel in three sections: **Start** (extreme left), **Center**, and **End** (extreme right).

You can adjust between them. For example, here, I moved the clock to the left side as it suits my workflow much better:

![Move applets in budgie desktop](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/09/Move-applets-in-budgie-desktop.png)

To move applets, all you have to do is select the applet and use the up and down arrow buttons **located above the list of the applet.**

If you want to remove the applet, just select the applet and use the delete button:

![Delete applet from the panel](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/09/Delete-applet-from-the-panel.png)

To add more applets, there is an option to add applet with the `+`

icon. Simply press the button, and it will list all the available applets to you.

Once you find a useful applet, select the applet and click on the `Add`

button:

![Add applet in budgie desktop environment](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/09/Add-applet-in-budgie-desktop-environment.png)

If you want to make the panel transparent, add shadows, increase/decrease space between applets, then go to the settings menu as shown below:

![](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/09/Tweak-panel-of-the-budgie-desktop.png)

For example, here, I made my panel transparent and added shadows to make it look pleasant:

![](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/09/Add-transparency-and-shadows-in-budgie-desktop-panel-1.png)

## 4. Customize the dock in the Budgie Desktop

In this section, I will walk you through the following ways to make your dock look appealing and functional:

- Changing the theme of the dock
- Adding docklets to add more features to the dock

### Change the theme of the dock

Sorry, but the ocs-url tool won't help you change the theme of the dock, so the only way you are left with it is the manual way!

First, [visit the Gnome Look's Plank theme](https://www.gnome-look.org/browse?cat=273&ord=latest) section and download any of your favorite plank dock themes.

Here, I went for the Monterey theme to mimic macOS (dark-inline version):

![](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/09/Download-theme-for-the-plank-dock-in-budgie-desktop-environment.png)

Now, open the terminal and navigate to where the theme was downloaded.

For most users, it will be the `Downloads`

directory:

`cd ~/Downloads`


Now, [use the unzip command](https://itsfoss.com/unzip-linux/) to extract files to the `.local/share/plank/themes/`

:

`unzip <theme_name.zip> -d .local/share/plank/themes/`


In my case, it looked like this:

`unzip Monterey-Dark-inline.zip -d ~/.local/share/plank/themes/`


![extract plank dock themes in budgie desktop](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/09/extract-plank-dock-themes-in-budgie-desktop.png)

Next, open the `Plank preferences`

and change to the recently installed theme.

I changed mine to `Monterey -Dark inline`

:

![Change theme in plank dock](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/09/Change-theme-in-plank-dock-1.png)

### Add docklets to have more features

Think of docklets as applets but for the dock but unlike applets, you are not given many options.

To add/remove docklets, first, open the `Plank preferences`

and go to the `Docklets`

menu to list the available options:

![Docklets in Plank dock](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/09/Docklets-in-Plank-dock.png)

Now, if you want to add docklets, simply drag them to the dock:

![add docklets in plank dock](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/09/Add-docklets-in-Plank-dock-budgie-desktop-configuration.gif)

But what if you would like to remove the added docklets?

Well, that's pretty simple! Just drag them out of the dock and they will be removed:

![remove docklets from the plank dock](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/09/Remove-docklets-from-the-plank-budgie-desktop.gif)

## Ready to Get Started With Budgie?

Sure, you can always install a Linux distribution with Budgie desktop environment baked in—for convenience.

However, you can also choose to [install Budgie](https://itsfoss.com/install-budgie-ubuntu/) on your existing distro, such as Ubuntu:

[How to Install Budgie Desktop on UbuntuBudgie is a modern, alternative take on GNOME. Learn to install the Budgie desktop environment on Ubuntu.](https://itsfoss.com/install-budgie-ubuntu/)![](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2019/04/install-budgie-ubuntu.png)


![](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2019/04/install-budgie-ubuntu.png)

For this tutorial, I utilized Ubuntu Budgie. The steps work for Budgie desktop no matter the distribution you use.
