(Spork) Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 :( how do i get them to install icons and to drop themes in to my theme folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 A little more information would help us to help you :) If you just want to use them yourself, then put the files into /home/username/.themes or /home/username/.icons. You shouldn't need any special permissions to do this. The "dot" means that the folder is normally hidden. Press [CTRL]+H to see them. For system-wide use (ie, for all users), you need to put them into /usr/share/themes or usr/share/icons. You will need root access to do this. Depending on your Distro, the method will vary slightly, but for Ubuntu for example, open a terminal and type sudo nautilus Enter your admin password, and a File Manager window will open with root access. You should now be able to navigate to your files and copy and paste them into their respective folders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elv13 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 it is for gnome or KDE? if it is for gnome, just drag and drop the .tar.gz in the dialog. KDE3 have an "add icon theme" button in kcontrol and KDE4 does have the same button in systemsettings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lechio Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 You don't drop the tar.gz file in the .icons folder. You extract the tar.gz file and then copy the extracted contents to the "~/.icons" folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(Spork) Posted January 1, 2009 Author Share Posted January 1, 2009 (edited) You don't drop the tar.gz file in the .icons folder. You extract the tar.gz file and then copy the extracted contents to the "~/.icons" folder. inside the folder is 2 items 1 folder with all the files ( icons ) and a index.theme file i left them in the folder and dropped the neon folder in the .icon folder then restarted and there still not showing :/ Edited January 1, 2009 by (Spork) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lechio Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Do they show in the theme manager? And where is the theme from? URL please. And... You don't need to restart your computer to change an icon theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lechio Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 The download file only includes the GTK and the metacity theme, no icons. The link posted at the bottom of the page doesn't seem to lead to any icon theme download... GTK and metacity install fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(Spork) Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 here is the file for some reason its gone http://www.filedropper.com/neonbymarko23 i uploaded the file here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lechio Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 That file doesn't have a GNOME icon theme. It has the GTK theme, emerald theme, firefox theme, (...). But no valid GNOME icon theme. The "Neon Icons by Jonas Rask" archive contains some png's and ico files but that's not a GNOME icon theme. You could make a GNOME icon theme with those by renaming and replacing them, using another icon theme as template. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elv13 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Do not drop it in the folder, drop it in the applet, where you choose theme, directly in it, it will setup it for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
