Theme.101. Easy way to i theme
Try to make a tut. on installing new themes via theme manger(easy way)
1.Download a theme(preferably "Gnome-Look.org".
2.Make sure theme is not opened in Archive Manger but saved on disk(desktop).
3.Open theme via right click and open with Archive Manger extract Theme to desktop.
4.Right click desktop(not in Places>>Desktop)
5.Then click Change Desktop Background
6.Click the "Theme" tab.nstall
7.Click-n-drag downloaded theme to the "themes" tab make sure it is droped on the blank space.
8.Wait for theme to install(app. 2-10 sec.)
9.Then click the "Apply Theme Button"
10.Restart computer(*NOT REQUIRED*) but is a for sure way to no the them is currently working
"!!!!~~S~~H~~O~~U~~L~~D"!!!!"~~F~~A~~Q~~S!!!!"
1.Some Themes come with 1 or more files be sure to extract the "Theme"file most other ones are pretty much useless.
2.SOME THEME WELL MESS UP UR COMPUTER(not vary bad).
3.You can use this process to install other things like Icons and even Emerald Themes(sudo apt-get install emerald)if you would like to have it(almost another theme manger but its used for stuff like Windows Borders
4.IM NOT THE PERSON WHO FOUND THIS IDEA!!!(i think lol)
5.IM AM NOT gunna be held responsible for anything you do(means do this at your own "!RISK!")
GO out and have fun this is a really easy way to install themes because i personaly dont like going thro a longer processes(some you might have to use the longer processes in some cases).
!!DONT NOT USE X11 curser themes with this process it wont work or at least it never did for me.
