Hello!

I'm a recent convert from Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and Linux Mint Debian flavors of Linux. I've installed Fedora 16 XFCE and I am 99.9% satisfied with the way my desktop looks and operates minus one small, tiny detail.

I would like to install the Greybird theme from the Shimmer Project http://shimmerproject.org/project/greybird/.

I'm not 100% sure how to do this. Can anyone provide some information or instructions?

Thanks! :dance:

Download the theme and extract it to a .themes directory in your home directory i.e. /home/username/.themes
There will be a number of directories created in there named after each of the themes. It will then appear in the settings.

Thanks ozjd! This fixed my issue immediately, and I'm using the Greybird theme as I write this (marking as SOLVED).
