[»] Installing under RH8.0 / RH9.0
by Lars Duesing - Apr 4th 2003 05:36:05

I tried many time to install your fantastic nautilus theme - but it doesn't work.
I tried the "official" way - via the RH Theme Manager.
It installed the theme under .themes/ but it doesn't show up in the "symbols" marker.
So I tried your way - installing under .nautilus/themes
It doesn't show either in the "symbols" marker under RH Theme Manager.
Next try: /usr/share/pixmaps/nautilus.
Same effect.
So I tried to edit gconf directly to use the Snow-Apple theme. After that restarting nautilus - Changes happen, but not the intended: Now all Icons in Nautilus are a blank sheet.
I'm giving up. Any hints?

thanks in advance,
Lars

[»] Help, i'm new to Linux...
by filwin - Oct 25th 2002 11:09:47

Hi guys, i'm new to this amazing OS, now i wanted to make my Linux look like my Mac, so i downloaded this theme and did what you told the other people asking questions about installing these themes, so i put the theme into nautilus/themes and chose the theme in the preferences.
But now i only have the folder-symbols in aqua-look and the wallpaper of the theme in nautilus. I miss the butons and toolbars in Aqua-look. How come those weren't installed?
As i said before, i never worked with Linux before.
I use RH 8.0

Thx in advance!

    hello,
    The button is managed by gtk themes, not nautilus.
    Hack the toolbar is a fresh function that I don't know, so for the moment you will not have an OS X toolbar...
    Sorry

      Hm, ok, i mean the borders on the top, these are translucent on the screenshots, the bar with the red, green and yellow buttons, i don't get my windows to look like that...
      Well, Linux is hard for beginners ;-)

    Button and toolbar appearance is managed by gtk themes, not nautilus themes. I'd recommend the Xliquid GTK+ theme as it seems to have the fewest bugs. AquaLightBlue and AquaGraphite themes are also available if you want to try something else or you want your checkboxes to look exactly like they did. If you want your window manager to look like OSX (with red, yellow, and green close, minimize, and maximize buttons), try one of the many good sawfish themes such as Aquafied.

    If you want to try the other side, I'd recommend the XinXP theme for nautilus, the Lunatic theme for sawfish, and the trueblue gtk+ theme.

    Have fun! :)

        Hello
        First of all ; crevette=baptiste Mille-Mathias
        ;-)
        This theme is just a Nautilus theme, it set the icons and some colors, no borders.
        this is metacity which manage borders.If you like Aquan, there is an Aqua theme for Metacity. check it a art.gnome.org

          Hi Crevette, Frist of all, thank you for your kind responce and answers. Maybe I should ask in another way. How do I get exactly what your demo's look on my RH 8.0's default window? What the steps did you do to make it look like that? BTW, out of all the aqua theme yours are my favorate. I have to get mine to look exactly like yours :-) Cause yours are the closest to OSX in my opion. Michael

[»] Installing theme on RedHat 7.2
by Mike Johnson - Oct 21st 2002 18:33:15

I am trying to install this theme using the gnomecc theme manager. When I install the theme it does not show up in the list of themes avilable. I have looked in the ~/.themes directory and see that theme was unzipped and untarred. I have also tried moving the files into a directory named ~/.themes/Snow-Apple/gtk. After moving the files to this diretory I was able to get the theme to show up when I created a gtkrc file in the same directory. I am not sure what needs to be included in the gtkrc to get the theme to display correctly or if it is even necessary to create a gtkrc.



Any help you can provide is appreciated.





Mike

    Hello.

    This is just a Nautilus theme, not a WM theme. You have to contact the autor of your WM theme to say your felling.

    Cheers

      Sorry, your advice did not work with my system (i386, SuSE 9.0)

      I tried:

      ~/.icons
      ~./nautilus/themes/
      ~./opt/grnome/share/themes/
      ~./opt/grnome/share/icons/

      I still do not get the Icon-Theme to be selcted with gnome's (Icon-)theme-manager.

      Any idea?
