help with installing GDM login window theme...
i downloaded themes from http://gnome-look.org/ & http://art.gnome.org/themes
But i can't figure out how to install them ! I'm running fedora 15,GNOME 3 |
Open your theme-manager and drag and drop the downloaded files onto it. Alternatively unpack those files and move the unpacked folders either to ~/.themes (theme only available for that user) or /usr/share/themes (theme available system-wide).

I don't use Gnome, so I can only guess, but in my experience most theme-managers have to be restarted when you install themes not using the theme-manager.

restarting won't help too ! any other idea ? |
Have you tried if it works in ~/.themes?

It should show up in your theme-manager. Have you untarred those files? For themes it is normally
Code:
tar -xf THEMENAME.tar.gz |
Could you extract the archive and list the contents?
Also, your title seems to imply that you think that tar.gz files are special files for themes or something. They are just archives, similar to .zip files. |

It is not /themes, it is ~/.themes, which is an abbreviation for /home/USERNAME/.themes. Note that dot before themes, which means that this directory is hidden normally.

May it be that it doesn't work because it is a theme for Gnome 2 but you are using Gnome 3?

folder ~/.themes contains gnome shell themes but i'm trying to install GTK+ theme.
Isn't there another location for those ? |
Nope, they go into the same folder. But Gnome 3 is using GTK3, so that theme should also contain a GTK-3.0 directory, so I assume that it is only a GTK2-theme.
