I'm having a slight issue with trying to install a new theme for empathy. I currently using Natty, so the directory for themes have changed again to "/usr/share/adium/message-styles/*.AdiumMessageStyle". Now, here where the problem lies, I was just on Gnome.org looking at themes fully supported by Empathy - See here (http://live.gnome.org/Empathy/Themes) - and I downloaded loaded the theme "Paraphermalia", and according to Gnome.org it works perfectly with Empathy, but it doesn't seem to be showing up in my dropdown box for themes? I know I have installed it correctly, I just don't understand why Empathy won't show it on the dropdown box. I've restarted my laptop twice to double check and it still doesn't show.

Could someone help please?

I don't use Empathy, but why don't you click the download link instead of Install, extract it and put it in the correct location. The install may lead to the old location.

I have been downloading the files manually. That's why I made this thread because I done everything right, but it's not showing up in the dropdown menu.
