Hey guys, I have cairo dock on my ps3's xubuntu 9.04 installation, and I was wondering how you "import themes"to cairo? I can't do repos for some reason, so I downloaded the cairo themes package which has the os x theme I want. Question is how do I get that theme into the cairo config? It's not like awn where you can just import the theme. Thanks, I love ubuntu on PS3!

how did you install the dock ? the MacOSX theme should be packaged with it, or be in the sources.

anyway, you can copy manually the theme into ~/.config/cairo-dock/themes

I downloaded the deb packages and installed. For some reason, errors come up doing it through repositories.

"anyway, you can copy manually the theme into ~/.config/cairo-dock/themes" -- I was thinking that, hahaha! I'm still kinda new to Linux, so how would I do that? Would I open up terminal and

sudo gedit /.config/cairo-dock/themes

and copy and paste the theme package in there?

Thanks man!
