Hello World,
Using this wiki i try to install a theme https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xf … es_to_XFCE
The theme that i trying to isntall is the following from the xfce-look http://xfce-look.org/content/show.php/D … ent=133892

I extract it, I create a folder with the name of the theme, inside i create a subfolder with the name "xfwm4" and inside of this subfolder the extracted files.
Then I moved this folder to two directories ~/.theme and /usr/share/themes
Loging out Loging in but in Appearance Settings and the Windows Manager Settings the theme does not exist.
I try to install 3 themes but without success. That means i do something wrong.
Thank you in advance.

The archive for "A new hope" is a bit of a mess. You need to unpack the archive and then unpack "A-New-Hope.tar.gz" which is located inside the first archive to ~/.theme/. That should be enough. However, there is no xfwm4 theme inside that I can see.

Edit: in fact it's not really "a mess"; it's just that the author wants you to launch "install.sh" to install the theme. I wouldn't do that though.
