Ok, I go to kdelook and dl a set of icons. In this case the osXIcons.tar.gz. So, this should be simple (or so I thought). KDE-menu=>look & feel=>icons. Click on the little browse button, select the file/package, in this case home/<user>/Downloads/klook/osXIcons.tar.gz. it shows in the path bar, click install. and ........ NOTHING. Checked the permissions, and chmod to rwx just in case. Still NOTHING. Same with the themes. <theme-whatever>.tar.gz or in the case of mosfet-liquid0.9.4.tar.gz was ungziped as per the install notes to mosfet-liquid0.9.4.tar. And, yes you guessed it, NOTHING. Arrrrgggghhhh..... Any hints as to whether I'm just being brain dead or theres a problem with users and installing themes (like the default settings in my new 8.0 are so locked down that I have to go throught and config all my users parameters)or something new to kde3? TIA, Curtis

Nope, it's not an icon theme. Check the talkbacks. It's just a collection of icons.

liquid is not a theme, it's a style. You install it by compiling it - unless you use the binary rpm in suse's supplementary dir //Anders

Just copy it to ~/.kde/share/icons and when you want to use one of them point that app at it. It's what I do. As Anders said..it's not a full icon thems so it doesn't have a full set of 16x16, 22X22..etc..etc. :) ::> Checked the permissions, and chmod to rwx just in case.

Then cd into the directory and type ./configure && make && make install as root. It's a style which is the Liquid them engine. It's got little programs with it that will show up in the KControl Panel and you can modify parts of your GUI with it. It has a style, window decoration and controls for transparencies. The new one is pretty nice. I'm still not convinced it better then the Keramik style though. -=Ben --=====-----=====-- mailto:ben@whack.org --=====-- If it's true that our species is alone in the universe, then I'd have to say that the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little. -GC --=====-----=====--
