Elementary OS Freya: Enable tweaks

[Leon]

Hi,

Lately i have been messing with Elementary OS, its a quite nice linux distro that unlike most others works and acts alot more like OSX.

Anyway - tip of the day - howto enable Elementary Tweaks on the latest beta of Freya

Install Tweaks

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:versable/elementary-tweaks-isis

$ sudo apt-get update

$ sudo apt-get install elementary-tweaks

 

Open schema file in text editor:

$ sudo scratch-text-editor /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnome.desktop.interface.gschema.xml

Insert the following text BEFORE the closing tag at the end of the file:

false

Overlay Scrollbar

Toggle the overlay scrollbar.$

 

Install dconf-editor

$ sudo apt-get install dconf-editor

 

Go to org->gnome->desktop->interface on dconf-editor

Find and enable ubuntu-overlay-scrollbars option

It then says to reboot but I would think logging out then back in of the desktop would be enough. Hope this works for everyone. Sorry if I screw up the markdown... First $

Compile schemas

sudo glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/

 

Now open Tweaks and all works
