The themes are stored in a disguised tar.gz archive with extension kdetheme or sth. close to that. Just pick one of the custom themes that they ship and untargz that. kcmshell LookNFeel/kdethememgr (syntax of kdethememgr could be slightly different, I'm doing this by heart here!) brings up the thememgr and shows you the names of the shipped in themes. > Also, the login > manager still has > no background - was there a file I had to delete or modify to get it > working again? I thought the 2.1 fixed the problem. I'm in exactly the same situation as you here. Kdm has a beautifull gui now but I don't have a background although I can choose one and I can see it in the preview in KControl center. I posted this earlier and most guys reply they have no problems with it. Bye , Guy.

I just give everything a once I think you are ALL closet theme users :) Seriously, It does work on the the latest RPM's, just not alot of themes to pick from. Does anyone have any information on the paths that the pixmaps, wav, and background images go? Also, the login manager still has no background - was there a file I had to delete or modify to get it working again? I thought the 2.1 fixed the problem. Thanks Ron __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

RE: [expert] KDE 2.1 Beta - Theme Manager
I don't do themes either. I just give everything a once over when I install a new version of KDE to see what is what.

Re: [expert] KDE 2.1 Beta - Theme Manager
Michael, The .themerc file is the file that tells the theme manager how and what to go do with itself so it knows how to setup the theme with the window manager. Without this file Theme manager can't display the theme. -- Mark "If you don't share your concepts and ideals, they end up being worthless," "Sharing is what makes them powerful."

I don't know how > well it works, I don't use themes Tom, I'm not a theme-oriented guy so I never looked for this. But I just checked my installation (KDE2.1-0101) and it's not there. Is there something that has to be done to pick this up? I downloaded all the rpms from Chris's packages and did the normal rpm update install with an update-menus -v (all done from outside X).

The themes didn't work for me. Kept stating there was no theme.rc file I believe.

Re: [expert] KDE 2.1 Beta - Theme Manager
Yes, it's in the Control Center, the last item under Look and Feel. I'm not sure it's functional yet, though -- or else I just don't know how to use it properly. I downloaded the Acqua-KDE2.0 theme from themes.org, but Themes Manager doesn't seem to work with it (unpacked or not). I keep getting a message saying "no themerc". What does this mean? (For that matter, several of the themes that come in the 2.1 beta also produce this message and can't be displayed...) Cheers. M.

Hello, I just installed the mdk kde 2.1 beta. The release notes say that 2.1 now contains a Theme Manager. Does anyone know where this is, or what the command is? Thanks, Ron __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Photos - Share your holiday photos online! http://photos.yahoo.com/
