Angry No KDE Themes?


This is really starting to bother me. I'm out here poking around on KDE-Look and marveling at some of the themes that are out there, but I'm using SuSE 8.2. SuSE must have stripped out the Theme Manager portion of KDE, or something, because I can't get to it through Control Center.

Anyone else seen this or know of a way around it?

1) open the Control Center
2) in the left pane, at the top, click on Appearance and Themes
3) near the bottom of the left pane, click on Theme Manager
4) select a theme. If none are installed, look at the buttons on the right side of the right pane and take appropriate action to add new themes.

Been there, looked for that, found an empty jar of crumbs. No dice dude. That thing is GONE! Can't change the theme because there is no option to change it in the Control Center. ***Mentioned in original post***

BTW - this is KDE 3.1.5

there are hundreds of themez,icon sets,background pictures in www.kde-look.org,usually,they are in tgz or tar source,if you can't build from the source,just take the name and search www.rpmfind.net.I am sure you will find built for Suse

That will probably work, but where the heck is the Theme Manager in the Control Center?
