How to start emerald theme manager?

[kramer65]

Hello,


I want to use an emerald theme and therefore I need to install the emerald theme manager. I must say that the Emerald website (http://wiki.opencompositing.org/EmeraldThemeManager) is quite unclear.

It says that I need to install the "Window Decorations plugin (via CCSM)", but how?

It also says I need to start up the Emerald theme manager. Again... How?


I did search around on the merald website and on google, but I really can't find anything. Can anybody help me a little with this?

Enter
sudo apt-get install emerald
in terminal.

Press Alt+F2 and input emerald --replace then press Enter key.

To make it load on startup:
Navigate to System->Preferences->Sessions, Press Add, Name the session as Emerald and the command equivalent to emerald --replace.

Allrighty! That already helps a lot!

And how do I open the emerald theme manager?

It should be in System > Preferences.

Grrrrrrrreat!

Now I see it. I just inserted a nice theme (http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Mac4Lin+ver.0.4+Emerald+Theme?content=71995), and it affects the window borders. It doesn't affect the top menu bar though..
in fact, none of the themes affects my top bar and bottom bar (of gnome).

Maybe you happen to know this as well?




ps. How can I file a bug in Emerald? When you click "import" it goes to the page /home/username/Desktop. This doesn't work for localised versions like mine which actually says /home/username/Bureaublad...

Nobody?
