Hi Steve,
I believe you just need to dump them into "/usr/share/themes/" if
you want everyone on the system to have access. Otherwise it should
just be "~/.themes/" or "~/.local/share/themes/"
I just put the one I use into "/usr/share/themes/" since I don't
usually install things for single users. After that you need to fire
up gnome-tweak-tool (if it was already open, close and re-open it) and
select your new theme from the various drop downs in the Appearance tab.
Thanks
Bryon, I've extracted the files to their directories and copied
them into /usr/share/themes, but none of the drop downs in the
Appearance tab in Gnome-tweak-tool show any of the new themes. Is
/usr/share/themes to location for GDM themes?
I've seen some doco on the net for installing GDM themes in Fedora that
talk about having to update config files but I wasn't able to find the
documented config files on my system. Is modifying config files the only
way to update GDM themes, and if so which files do I need to update?
regards,
Steve
Cheers,
Bryon
