Adding new XFCE themes help!

Post by mintyglue »

I've managed to get over 200 different Terminal themes with this method https://mayccoll.github.io/Gogh/

Can something similar be done for different styles and icons? I've tried the copying the downloaded theme folder to .themes in home folder, but that only gives me the option to change Window Manager appearance. I want to add new style(folder colors) and icons in regular Appearance setteings, but can't seem to find how. I've also copied themes to /usr/share/themes and it doesn't work, not even after logging off and in again. Please help me, thanks!

Icon themes need to be copied to .icons in the home folder (create it if it isn't already there).

Then open 'Appearance > Icons' to select the required icon theme.

Well, it should work ! I don't know what is happening, I have no data, no screenshots. Start by making sure your themes are not inside some sub-directory, just directly placed into /usr/share/themes/YOUR-THEME-DIRECTORY. And this theme directory must contains sub-directories and files such as: cinnamon, gtk-2.0, gtk-3.0, index.theme, metacity-1, xfwm4... Just compare with your standard /usr/share/themes/Mint-Y...
