Unable to use Beryl Emerald theme

[crimson90]

I've got the Emerald Theme Manager installed, and a theme imported into it, though I can't get the theme to apply. I've searched the fora, but there aren't any posts that seem to address my problem.

I think you might need to have the emerald program startup when you login. If you're using Ubuntu (gnome), then you can go to System>Prefs>Sessions, and add an entry for emerald (just call the command emerald). The log out and back in again. This should make compiz use emerald as the window themer.
Or do you mean you can get emerald to work, but just not this particular theme?

open System>Preferences>Session

click Add, and type "emerald --replace"

then reboot
