I was wondering how to install this theme:
http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/MacUltimate+Leopard?content=82844

But, I tried moving it to themes, and it didnt work. Can anyone tell me how to use that?

What you are downloading is just an icon pack.
Create a folder in your home directory called

.icons
Files or folders beginning with a dot are hidden.
When in the nautilus file browser ctrl + h will show hidden files.

You should now be able to drag and drop your compressed download into the Appearance's window.


Alternatively extract the archive first and then move the folder
"MacUltimate_Leopard" into ~/.icons
~ symbol is a shortcut for /home/your_username.

To change the icons
Appearance > theme > customize > icons

Just use the download link (http://www.filefactory.com/file/ahdg427/n/MacUltimate_Leopard_2.3.tar.gz) at the bottom of the page. It should download a ".tar.gz" file. Open up Appearance.
System > Preferences > Appearance
And click "Install"
Select the ".tar.gz" file and you should be all set.

Yep that's easier.
For some reason if you drag and drop it doesn't create a .icons folder
if you don't have one.
While if you use the install button it does.
Two heads are better than one...as long as they're not on the same person. :o
