Ok, couldn't get two of them to install via tar, here is the out put:
[root@hotcomp Acqua-Graphite]# ./install.sh ./install.sh: line 6: cd: style: No such file or directory cp: cannot stat `pixmaps': No such file or directory cp: cannot stat `themes': No such file or directory cp: cannot stat `wallpapers': No such file or directory cp: cannot stat `icewm-themes': No such file or directory _KDE_IceTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.ICE-unix should be set to root DCOPServer up and running. Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". Acqua-Graphite for KDE installed. Then when I go to thememanager, it can't find anything. So it looks like something is missing or thememanager is broken. ??? Any ideas? -- Dennis M. linux user # 180842
