It adds numerous indicator and application icons on top of the default elementary icon set so third party apps will fit into elementary's design.
How to install elementaryPlus
There1s a eprfect installation guide at elementaryPlus' Github page, so I just copy it here.
You can add our PPA (Personal Package Archive) to your sources:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cybre/elementaryplus sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get install elementaryplus or just download or clone this repository.
To enable the theme, launch "elementary+ Configurator" from the application menu or run./install.shfrom the parent directory of this repository, respectively, and switch on the "Core Icon Theme" option.
Please also make sure, that the original elementary icon theme is installed, because elementary+ only provides additions and inherits the base theme.

7 Elementary OS Freya Tweaks to Make the Platform Even Better
ВідповістиВидалитиhttps://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/836297-7-elementary-os-freya-tweaks-to-make-the-platform-even-better
Enable Canonical Partners repository
There’s plenty of great software available… but from a repository not enabled by default. Enabling this particular repository will add a number of important software titles to your Software Center, such as Skype, adobe-flashplugin, and even media codecs.
In order to enable this particular repository, do the following:
Click on Slingshot (the Applications menu in the upper left corner)
Type Software
Click on Software & Updates when it appears
Click on Other Software
Click to enable Canonical Partners (Figure 1)
When prompted, enter your sudo password and click Authenticate
Click Close.
Enable restricted codecs
Out of the box, most things work. Due to regional restrictions, however, some multimedia files may not play. To get around that, you must install extra codecs. Once you’ve installed the Canonical Partners repository, this is actually a single command away. Open up a terminal window (Click on Slingshot, type terminal, and click to open the terminal) and enter the following command:
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
Type your sudo password, hit the Enter key, and allow the software to install. Once the installation is complete, you should be able to enjoy those multimedia files.
Install LibreOffice
The one major piece of software you’ll find missing from Elementary OS Freya is an office suite. That’s not a problem as LibreOffice is free, open source, and ready to serve. Instead of installing LibreOffice from the Software Center (which will most likely be an out-of-date release), let’s install the latest version. Here’s how:
Download the necessary .deb main installer package that matches your architecture (either 32 or 64 bit) from this page
Save the file to your Downloads directory
Open up a terminal window
Change into the downloads directory with the command cd ~/Downloads
Extract the downloaded file with the command tar xvzf LibreOffice_XXX_Linux_YYY_deb.tar.gz (Where XXX is the release number and YYY is the architecture)
Change into the newly created directory with the command cd LibreOffice_XXX (Where XXX is the release number)
Change into the DEBS subdirectory with the command cd DEBS
Issue the command sudo dpkg -i *deb
Enter your sudo password and hit the Enter key
Allow the installation to finish.
If you open up the Slingshot and type libre you should now see entries for all the pieces that comprise the LibreOffice office suite.
Install Nemo
The default file manager, GNOME Files, is sufficient for some...but others may find it sorely lacking in features. Instead of giving GNOME Files a chance, why not just install a far more powerful and tweak-able file manager. For this, you’ll want to install Nemo. Here’s how:
Open up a terminal window
Add the requisite repository with the command sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/nemo
Update apt with the command sudo apt-get update
Install Nemo and the file-roller plugin with the command sudo apt-get install nemo nemo-fileroller
Now, there’s a slight problem with using Nemo as it stands. When you issue the command nemo to start the file manager, it will attempt to manage your desktop (which you do not want, considering the Elementary OS Freya desktop cannot work with a third-party manager). To avoid that, issue the command nemo --no-desktop.
But what if you don’t want to start the new file manager from command line? The best way around that is to create a keyboard shortcut. Here’s how:
Open up Settings
Click on Keyboard
Click on Custom
Click the + button
Type the command nemo --no-desktop when prompted to enter the command
Hit the Enter key
Click where it says “Disabled” (Figure 3)
Click the keyboard shortcut you want to use (I prefer Super+F) to assign the key combination
Log out of Elementary OS and log back in for the changes to take effect

1. Add Files To Desktop
With Pantheon (the default file manager in Luna) you can’t bring files or folders onto the desktop. But in Nautilus, it’s possible. Launch the Software Center, search for "gnome-tweak-tools" and install it.
Now go to Terminal (CTRL+ALT+T) and type the same (gnome-tweak-tools) to launch it.
From the Desktop menu you can adjust the desktop to your liking. Check Have file manager handle the desktop and other options like display My Computer or Trash icon.
However, we need to make these changes boot with the OS. Go to the System Settings > Startup Applications > Add. Input the Name (Nautilus, for example) and type nautilus -n in Command. This will do the trick.
2. Minimize Window Button
Another uncomfortable thing you will find is that you can’t minimize windows. By default you have to click on the desired application in Dock in order to do so. To bring back the traditional buttons, do the following.
Install Dconf Editor by typing the command sudo apt-get install dconf-tools. Launch it from Applications > System Tools.
Navigate to org > pantheon > desktop > gala > appearance and type :minimize,maximize,close in button-layout.
4. Additional Wallpapers
One of the first things most people notice (and praise) in Luna is the wallpapers collection. And you can download some more using this command: sudo apt-get install elementary-wallpaper-collection.
