Installing buttons...

[biocmp]

I am wanting to install the buttons below...

http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/ ... ent=128143

And I followed the instructions:

Download the tar.gz file and extract it. In the new folder created, run the install.sh script to choose the distribution logo (Ubuntu, by default) and the Gnome menu icon

I ran the install.sh script but I didn't know what to do after it popped up...

Would anyone care to explain how to do this? or give me links?

Thanks for any help

Don't do that, do this (from your link):

Launchpad PPA
Faenza icon theme is available to install for Ubuntu users via a PPA repository. Open a terminal and run :
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tiheum/equinox

sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get install faenza-icon-theme

You will find it one hell of a lot easier, it is just copy and paste of the two commands beginning 'sudo'.

Don't mess with source code until you have to (and even then think twice, it will usually fail).

Thank you much.

I am running those now in the terminal. It is projected to take ~10 minutes, is that normal?

Thanks for the heads up on how to install those. I had no idea what I was doing

So, if I get to the point where I want to mix and match themes, is that when people mess with the source code? Or should I avoid that altogether?

What am I supposed to do at the prompted questions?

It's saying it couldn't find faenzia-icon-them, I saved the download to folder. Unzipped it.

So....what did I do wrong?

Having had another look at the commands posted on that site you linked to I think they are wrong.

Try this:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install faenza-icon-theme
