How do i install this .7z file?


Recommended Posts

The first post said it was a "theme". Is it a Gnome theme? KDE? Fluxbox? I think that Gnome allows you to just drag a theme into their dialog to 'install' it. Probably KDE does, too. But we will need a bit more info to help be more specific.

(and inside the archive, there is probably a 'readme' file that explains what to do) ;)

Ive installed P7zip, i have gnome and i am unaware of which type of theme i am supposed to download. I already found the readme file but it doesn't explain how to do it. Can someone maybe link me to a theme that i can install on gnome and instuctions maybe?

That is the theme i am trying to install on ubuntu/gnome.

Then you do not need to unpack it. Just open Appearance in the Preferences menu and drag the file into that window. And it should give you a message that it is installed.

atlef.

Thats the second time i thought it would take a sequence of terminal commands to get something working, was a-lot simpler then i imagined lol.

^^^ Quite often, I see people make more work for themselves, then complain that "Linux is too difficult". People will feel a need to pre-create a set of partitions when they don't know what partitions they need. Or start trying to download source tarballs and compile, rather than doing an apt-get install celestia or click on it in their package manager.

I thought Gnome had a 'drag it in' feature, but I haven't used Gnome in many years.

Glad you got it working. (Y)
