What version of Mandrake are you using? Also, what window manager are you using?

Hi,
i'm actualy using Mandrake 7.2 and the KDE 2.0 pre. Actually if u use KDE2.0 pre realese there is no a simple theme manager! We will have to download KDE 2.0 (which is already avalaible at www.kde.org) (http://www.kde.org)) for this, or you can do it manually if u know how (i don't know how). For now u can change themes easy in gnome.
Really annoying thing!!
Bye

There is no theme installer in kde2, they have gone to the same format as blacbox and Enlightenment, you use styles instead of themes.

You can use the legacy theme importer to import the old kde themes.
