I figure because Empathy has taken over the IM software with Ubuntu (probably because Pidgin is lacking developers) I wanted to make Empathy look prettier. So here's some instructions on how to get more than just the 4 or 5 standard themes. In fact, 65 themes!
Download the deb file here: http://tecnicoslinux.com.ar/livecd/empathy-chat-themes_1_all.deb
1. Find the installed files in “/usr/share/empathy- chat-themes” . You can do it manually or in nautilus – click on pencil below the back/forward icons and copy the path without quotes.
2. Next open your local folder on new nautilus window: Click Places/Home Folder.
3. From the View tab select “Show hidden files”
4. Go to “.local/share” folder and make new folder “adium” then make another folder inside adium called “message-styles”.
5. Final step, copy all files from “/usr/share/empathy-chat-themes” (Ctrl+A to select all and Ctrl+C to copy) and copy to “.local/share/adium/message-styles/” (Ctrl+V to paste)
6. That's it, you can found empathy themes in edit/preferences/themes in empathy window
Happy messaging!
