WindowMaker theme installing?RH8

[smythe]

I copied some themes that I would like to install, and put them in my , home /GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker directory, ran the following command:


gzip -dc cipher2-default.tar.gz | tar xvf -

which created:

cipher.themed

now, according to the README.themes file it says to use this to use:

setstyle cipher.themed

I get this message:

/root/GNUstep/Defaults/WindowMaker: No such file or directory
setstyle:could not load WindowMaker configuration file.

any suggestions as to what might of happend?

root != home

You might want to throw them in

/usr/share/WindowMaker/Themes

or find the directory by doing:

find /usr -name *.style

Unpack files as user, and move as root.

I move the tar.gz file to /usr/share/WindowMaker/Themes as user...then su - and unpacked them........right click to get the the Themes selection I see this:

Default
OpenStep
Pastel
SteelBlueSilk
cipher2-default.tar <- select this .. doesnt work, not sure if it makes any difference but the theme.tar.gz was from a burned cd?? I deleted it from the Themes directory to try again... but the cipher2-default is still there when I r/c>appearence>themes??

"then su - and unpacked them" could be a problem since user can't access root files by default.

chmod 755 -R that directory.

as it turns out the README.themes was a little off all that was needed was to move the theme.tar.gz to:

~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/Themes

and run:

tar xzvf theme.tar.gz

Works now, Thanks for your help jetblackz
