hi, i am bored with the theme i have used, since i installed mdk on my box. therefore, i will be thankful, if you give me links to websites, where i can see and download cool themes for my mdk. in addition, i don't know exactly how i install them, thus, i will be happy for some tutorials. notice to the fact that i searched for themes through google but i only found gnome-look as a good match. i also ran a search for how to install theme but didn't get good results.

At the bootom of the first post are a few links

gnome forum

Install

Menu>Configuration>Gnome>Themes>click the Install button

 

IF that doesn't work, and it sometimes doesn't, gtk and metacity themes go in you home directory's .themes and icons go in .icons.

 

commandline example

if the gtk theme is in your home directory

cd ~/.themes

tar -xzf /home/username/name_of_tarball.tar.gz

 

same with icons except

cd ~/.icons

 

If it's a .tar.bz2

cd ~/.themes

tar -xjf /home/username/name_of_tarball.tar.gz

well, before i do anything. i would like to know what do gtk, gdm and metacity mean. in addition, how can i know if i have these things installed on my mdk os. by the way, it was my bad that i didn't pay enough attention to these forum pined topics. however, i will assure you that next time it won't happen.

 

:thanks:
