      <para>Gtk+-3 themes change the way a gtk application looks. An icon
      theme can be used to change the icons that appear on the application's
      toolbar. If you have installed a Gtk+-3 theme (eg
      <xref linkend="gnome-themes-standard"/> or an icon theme (such as
      <xref linkend="gnome-icon-theme"/>) you can set your prefences in
      <filename>~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini</filename>:</para>

<screen><userinput>cat &gt; ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini &lt;&lt; "EOF"
[Settings]
gtk-theme-name = <replaceable>Adwaita</replaceable>
gtk-fallback-icon-theme = <replaceable>gnome</replaceable>
EOF</userinput></screen>

      <para>There are many more themes available at
      <ulink url="http://gnome-look.org/">Gnome-Look.org</ulink> and other
      places.</para>

      <para>Once you've settled on themes you like, you can (as the
      <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user) make them the
      default system wide:</para>
