I just don't get it. The "why" of or the theme for that matter. For several of the themes I download them to my /home/dennis/themes directory and then in the directory add to the end of the file name, without untaring or anything, I add ".ktheme" and the theme manager seems to accept that. Don't know how well it works for some of the new themes but for the KDE 2.1 themes it worked for me. -- Dennis M. registered linux user # 180842
