Hi Folks,
First, this works very well, many thanks for the link.
Second, I was trying this out, but specifying the name of the
theme tarball on the command line. I tried many themes off
of the gtk+ site, and almost all of them worked, although some
complained about the lack of the theming engine, and one was
a tar.bz2 which did not work (until I converted it to a tar.gz).
There was also some garbage after the EOF marker in that one.
I noticed that I could only execute the command once per theme,
and that if I tried again, I would get an error stating that the file
was not a valid tar archive!
It seems that when you specify the tarball as the argument, the
theme is installed in the ~/.themes directory. From that point on,
you just need to specify the theme name. If you try to specify the
full path to the tarball again, it most likely fails trying to create the
directory (since it alreay exists) but reports it as an invalid tarball.
I hope this saves others from wondering what is going on!
John
