I don't have emerald yet, so.. yeah.

I don't wanna try to get it and do something wrong.

So if somebody could write me a step by step tutorial it would be good.

First you need to have emerald installed

sudo apt-get intall emerald

Download the file and save it. Open emerald-theme-manager and click import. Navigate to the file and click open. You will then see it in emerald-theme-manager, Click and your done.

If it doesn't change your theme you may need to start emerald..

emerald --replace

hm, wheres a good place to save it?

In your home directory is always a good choice. I actually created a folder just for themes and such.

[FoxFireX]

Okay emeralds open, themes imported, wheres the apply button :S?

[amadeus266]

There isn't one. Your theme should change when you click on the theme preview. If it doesn't then try starting emerald with the command I gave earlier.

In Terminal type

emerald --replace

By the way, you also need to have compositing enabled. Do you have Compiz-fusion installed and working?

[FoxFireX]

Uh well it worked, but as soon as I closed terminal the theme went poof

[amadeus266]

Do you have fusion-icon installed? If not, install it with

sudo apt-get install fusion-icon

then hit F2 and type in fusion-icon.

It will show up in the system tray. You can right-click the icon and get a menu, then click on Select Window Decorator and choose Emerald.

That's alt-F2.

Sorry, that is hit <Alt F2>
