What theme are you trying to install? If you could provide the link to
where you got it from that would be helpful. I'll see if I can get it
to work. Like I said before, I use a theme with an installer so it's
possible I have the method incorrect.
Thanks Bryon, the themes I'm trying to
use are anotherworld_GDM,
ClawGDMCorp, CrispClearMorningwithUserList and dmintrepid which I
downloaded from the GDM Themes section of
Gnome-Look.org.
regards,
Steve
