Description
My Desktop as of 16.05.11.I've been flicking through themes and settled on Evolution Dawn, because of how consistently it themes all the elementary-ized applications.
I'm absolutely loving the newest build of Rhythm-e as my new music player. It's as beautiful an improvement on the ageing Rhythmbox as Nautilus Elementary was on Nautilus.
I'm running Ubuntu Natty 11.04, with the new Unity interface.
Icon theme is a mixture of faenza, faenza-blue, faenza-fresh and elementary-mono-dark.
Wallpaper is Office Bot by AndreeWallin ( [link] )
Rhythm-e is a revamp and overhaul of the Rhythmbox interface, retaining the stability and power that kept Rhythmbox the Ubuntu default since its creation and giving it a new face for a more aesthetically wanting audience. I couldn't recommend it more.
Fire up the Terminal, install bzr if prompted (sudo apt-get install bzr) and type the following commands one line at a time. (Remove Rhythmbox if you already have it installed 'sudo apt-get remove rhythmbox')
sudo apt-get build-dep rhythmbox
bzr branch lp:rhythm-e
cd rhythm-e
./autogen.sh
make
sudo make install

Hello,
First of all, thank you very much for letting me know how to build rhythm-e!
I searched for rhythm-e and found this post. I'm running maverick and I built rhythm-e with your instruction (in fact, I needed some other packages to build, since I'm using 10.10). But one trouble is that my rhythm-e does not have the album art at the bottom left. Do you know how to show that part?
Thank you so much

Hi, just wondering if you know which extra packages are required to build on Maverick as I'm using eOS Jupiter.

I'm glad the instructions helped! It took me forever to figure it out myself and whenever I asked someone for clear cut terminal instructions, I was usually stumped. One very kind DeviantArt artist gave me those instructions and I felt obliged to pass them on as much as I could.
I had a look for you, and it appears to be a plugin.
Go onto Edit and then Plugins on your menu and find the one called 'Coverart' and enable it (tick the checkbox). That SHOULD make it appear, but only when you play a song. When no song is playing (or paused) it won't be there at all.
Let me know if that works!
