Gnome Classic Themes

[dan9550]

I am running the Gnome Classic shell on ubuntu 12.04 and cannot figure out how to install themes. Can anyone help please?

gnome-look.org has some amazing themes in her bag .
Please note that all GTK+3 themes are not compatible with fallback .

There must be a README or INSTALL under the zip file , search for it and folloe the instructions .

Install Downloaded Themes or icons in 11.10-12.04

Download and fully extract the theme packages and hold the folders on the desktop until needed .

Install the Gnome Tweak Tool / Advanced Settings for making theme selections from the software center .

(Single User) Create a .themes and .icons folder in home / hidden folders . Use Crtl + H to open hidden folders in Nautilus.

(All Users) Use gksudo nautilus in the terminal to open the Nautilus as root and navigate to > File System / usr / share / themes or icons .

Place the folders in either location . Use Advanced Settings to make theme selections . Logout - in may be required before theme are visible in Advanced Settings under the themes tab.

Check any read me files for theme installation locations.
