Hello!
I was wondering if there is a place to get more themes for Mint? Second, how do you access the themes in the emerald manager?
thanks!

What I did. Ctrl+Alt+Backspace.
1) Then Ctrl+Alt+F1
2) Login
3) at the prompt enter code: sudo envy -t
4) Choose install nvidia driver
4) Reboot
5) Log into Mint
6) Start Beryl
7) Open a terminal. If by chance the terminal is just a white blank space, right click on the Beryl diamond and select Metacity as the window manager (terminal window is now normal).
Go to terminal and execute:
sudo nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals
9) Close any open apps, then restart your X session (e.g. Ctrl-Alt-Backspace).
10) Then change the window manager back to Beryl.
I hope it works for you. Good luck.
I had this problem with my Nvidia 5200 graphic. I'm sorry but I can't recall which graphic chipset you had, but his worked for me.(I can't use the beryl because my screen goes completely white when I try and use it).

Thanks much. I actually have ATI and I understand it is more persnickety than Nvidia. I hope to soon get a different card altogether so I can avoid this scenario.newW2 wrote:barkhat wrote:I had this problem with my Nvidia 5200 graphic.

Thanks, speaker219! I will go in search and give this a whirl!speaker219 wrote:If you want to use themes without beryl, thats fine, you don't need the beryl/beryl manager at all if you don't want. Do a google search for "gtk themes" and there are many sites to choose from with some quality themes. Find a theme you want and download the .tar.gz. extract the archive into your ~/.themes folder. then go into mintmenu and go to preferences > themes. then find the theme you wanted in that list and choose it, you're all set =)barkhat wrote:Thanks, Ede. I'll check them out.
Do you have to use the beryl program to use the themes? (I can't use the beryl because my screen goes completely white when I try and use it).
