Re: Hi Newbie ?
Many, probably nearly all, themes do not include background files, as those are handled differently. To change backgrounds in Mint 12, right-click on the Desktop and select 'Change Desktop Background.'
You might find the background you want on http://linuxmint-art.org/ or http://art.gnome.org/backgrounds
Keep playing around and Have Fun!

That theme is intended to work only with KDE versions of Linux. This link may help clarify what kinds of options a Linux user has --> http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.p ... 45#p314893
If you go to the Backgrounds sections of those sites you will find what you are looking for.
This link --> http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=205&t=84883 provides guidance on finding and using themes with the main edition of LM12.
Keep exploring. You'll find treasures!
