I found these themes on cd (acqua-graphite-faux.ktheme and acqua-graphite-.ktheme )and would like to install them , thanks for any help :

- Installation instructions -
Run the script ./theme-install.sh for theme installation.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
the theme-install.sh has the following lines :

#!/bin/bash
mkdir -p $HOME/.kde/share/apps/kthememgr/Themes
cp -f Acqua-Graphite.ktheme $HOME/.kde/share/apps/kthememgr/Themes/
cp -f Acqua-Graphite-Faux.ktheme $HOME/.kde/share/apps/kthememgr/Themes/
echo Acqua-Graphite Theme for KDE 2.1 installed.

it's in the tar.gz format (Acqua-Graphite-2.1-Theme.tar.gz)

I don't quite see what your problem is. Did the install script not work?

do a ./theme-install.sh

what i don't know is how to run the script ./theme-install.sh or any anyone at all . how do i do that

i did :
bash-2.05$ ./theme-install.sh
bash: ./theme-install.sh: No such file or directory

have you un tarred it?

if so then is it possible that the script's execute flag isn;t set?

do a if the result is missing the x in the third coloum then it isn't set and you need to set it using the chmod command.

if it still don't work then stuff the script and do it the manual way. copy the two files into your /home/usernamerhere/.kde/share/apps/kthememgr/Themes/ and you should be fine.

HTH

P.S. you may of thought of this already. I hope im not insulting your intelligence, you didn;t say what you have tried

If all else fails, you can do it the manual way, only putting them in the global directories, since most themes seem to look in them anyhow.

.themerc files go in: /opt/kde/share/apps/kstyle/themes
.ktheme files go in: /opt/kde/share/apps/kthememgr/Themes
wallpaper goes in: /opt/kde/share/wallpapers
.png and image files go in: /opt/kde/share/apps/kstyle/pixmaps

The last one is usually only used by the window themes and not necessarily the fullon KDE themes but pixmaps can still go there usually.

this is the theme-install.sh contents :
----------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
mkdir -p $HOME/.kde/share/apps/kthememgr/Themes
cp -f Acqua-Graphite.ktheme $HOME/.kde/share/apps/kthememgr/Themes/
cp -f Acqua-Graphite-Faux.ktheme $HOME/.kde/share/apps/kthememgr/Themes/
echo Acqua-Graphite Theme for KDE 2.1 installed.
-----------------------------------------------------------
i did already this after copied files to /usr/src :

jamaso@darkstar:~$ cd /usr/src
jamaso@darkstar:/usr/src$ tar -zxvf Acqua-Graphite-2.1-Theme.tar.gz
Acqua-Graphite-2.1-Theme/
Acqua-Graphite-2.1-Theme/ReadMe
Acqua-Graphite-2.1-Theme/Acqua-Graphite-Faux.ktheme
Acqua-Graphite-2.1-Theme/Acqua-Graphite.ktheme
Acqua-Graphite-2.1-Theme/ChangeLog
Acqua-Graphite-2.1-Theme/theme-install.sh

then i just tried each line of the script :

jamaso@darkstar:/usr/src$ mkdir -p $HOME/.kde/share/apps/kthememgr/Themes

jamaso@darkstar:/usr/src$ cp -f Acqua-Graphite.ktheme $HOME/.kde/share/apps/kthememgr/Themes/
cp: cannot stat `Acqua-Graphite.ktheme': No such file or directory

jamaso@darkstar:/usr/src$ cp -f Acqua-Graphite-Faux.ktheme $HOME/.kde/share/apps/kthememgr/Themes/
cp: cannot stat `Acqua-Graphite-Faux.ktheme': No such file or directory

jamaso@darkstar:/usr/src$ echo Acqua-Graphite Theme for KDE 2.1 installed.
Acqua-Graphite Theme for KDE 2.1 installed
-----------------------------------------------------------
i'm trying to understand but is getting confusing .
webtoe i tried what you said :

jamaso@darkstar:/usr/src$ ls -l theme-install.sh
/bin/ls: theme-install.sh: No such file or directory

i didn't even get to see these files you were talking about taz.devil but thanks anyway

you need to descend into the Acqua-Graphite-2.1-Theme directory first. at the moment you are in /usr/src where there is the Acqua-Graphite-2.1-Theme directory and in that are the files that you want. do the following:

that should work

now i got it
