If you didn't have to convert the .svg files, why would you need it? Because you were maybe still using GNOME 2.4? Yeah, right. Well, OK, it's possible that the theme has been around for a long time, from before GNOME fully supported SVG. I take it back. Anyway, why don't you just make a folder in your ~/.themes folder, with the name of the theme, and drag the 36x36, index.theme, and scalable items into it. That's all the theme manager does anyway. Alternatively, open a file manager or file-roller as root, and extract the same files to a "theme_name" folder in /usr/share/icons, which is where the theme would be installed if it was installed as part of the system. One of those two is probably a better idea anyway; the theme manager can be kind of a bear and doesn't usually work well for me anyway. HTH, Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
