[SOLVED] Gnome3 how to delete a shell theme?

655321 · 2011-06-23 20:14:17

Hi, I have recently tried lots of shell themes for gnome, at first I noticed I was badly installing them (I use the gnome-tweak interface to install themes)

Now I want to delete some of those themes that I dont want on my system, but I cant seem to find where are they stored, if I go into /usr/shell/gnome-shell/theme there is only the active shell theme on that folder.

Also the useless themes are taking up space and makes it hard to choose one that actually works, so how to remove them from the list and system?

thanks in advance for the help!

Perhaps they're in ~/.local/share/gnome-shell?

Just cheked. Only an extensions folder there (which is empty) and an XML called application_state

You could run "find / -iname themename".

thanks for the tip! found them!!!

just in case someone runs into this problem, they are stored in

/home/{yourusername}/.themes

There is a reason that we have a necrobump policy for a rolling release distro:
