This has been bugging me for a while, and I figure this is the best place to ask.
What is the proper way to install themes, icons, and whatever else could fall into this category?
In the Gnome Theme Preferences you can just drag and drop a theme in there, and it installs. Great! But what about themes that come with multiple color versions? Or a GTK+ and a Metacity version?
The .themes directory is where you can manually extract themes you want. Ok, got that, works pretty decent.
Then there is the issue of themes not showing when you run stuff like Synaptic that requires sudo. I know there is somewhere to put themes so they show up here, but I forget where. Now, putting a theme in here makes it show up in Synaptic, et al, but if it goes in here from the beginning will it show up for normal users? I'm curious if this is where all themes should be sent since this is where Ubuntu installs them.
Also, I often see themes that are presented on gnome-look as having multiple colors, but when you drag and drop into Theme Preferences you get one color. How do you get those other colors?
Thanks
