HI,
I am trying to install some themes and I am getting stuck. I have tried to get a few of these going, if anyone has any help I would appreciate it. I know some use "conky", but I have no idea how to get that running?

The one thing I can't figure out is how the bottom bar is setup?

You did notice this?
#NEED TO INSTALL XWINWRAP MPLAYER GTKDIALOG ZENITY
And of course you have to have compiz installed and working.

I didn't bother to download the theme, or view the tutorial, but it shouldn't be that hard to get it installed if you read the readme or view the tutorial.

thx, I am actually going to try another one. I am not sure if compiz is running right, I just ran compiz --replace and I get this error? I had tried to do an emerald theme and when I ran emerald --replace it just sits in the terminal and it doesn't appear that the "entire" system is taking on the new theme, only certain windows seem to change?
