Ok, so me and my friend each have a Ubuntu box. He wants a certain theme off another Ubuntu version, but I can not find it available online. So, what I want to do is take the theme off that Ubuntu version (Ubuntu UE 1.7) and put it on his box. Anyone know how to do this? Help is appreciated :)

ubuntu themes are stored in two locations

/.themes

or

/usr/share/themes

since the usr location is root, you need to sudo nautilus in terminal

Ok, I found the theme folers, but is there a way to make them back into a theme installer?

You could just paste the folder in the .themes folder on the other pc.

It will come up in "appearance".
