To the best of my knowledge, the package you are referring to, "gcompizthemer," has been merged as a subset, so to speak, of the package cgwd. Cgwd supports Compiz themes as well as some other types. I do not use it myself, but I have it installed, and as far as I can tell that is the situation.
Hope this helps! ^ ^
Sorry, I realised something just a minute ago: cgwd is more of an add-on to Compiz, I think. I run Ubuntu (Dapper Drake version) so I used apt-get to install the XGL libraries, and then to install compiz. If you can use a similar method on your distro, the base apt packages are named "xserver-xgl" and "compiz". Sorry for the mix-up...
hi, thanks for replying.
i have ubuntu 6.06 installed and i was wondering if cgwd can be installed using apt-get and i already xgl and the works running but no cgwd. if so would you happen to know the command ?
