How to install theme in KDE?

I never done this, used only default, but I wanted to try some themes
from kde-look.org. I found one nice (Azenis_Theme) but like the rest,
comes as .tar.gz file, which contains many folders with images and gz
files etc etc.

However, when I go to personal settings -> themes -> install new theme,
it never show any “Theme files” in given directory.
What “theme files” filter in dialog filters out? How do I install theme
on easy way, and not by copying bunch of files into bunch of
directories?

Hello,

I think you shouldn’t extract them, and it will show the compressed
folder.
Select the compress flder and it should be fine?
It’s the way it orks under gnome, at least, I didn’t test it with
gnome.

Bye

well, this is a problem. Install Theme button opens dialog, which has
filter for “Theme files” and shows no files. Actually “theme files” are
not gz files and I cannot select anything.
Gnome is different story, this is question for KDE 3.5.x
Thanks

The is a how-to on KDE-Look.org:
‘Howto KDE-Look.org’ (http://www.kde-look.org/help/index.php?type=9).
IMHO the simplest way would be installing it from rpm package. You can
found some in the Community repo:
‘Index of
/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Community/openSUSE_11.1_KDE4_Factory_Desktop’
(http://tinyurl.com/a2s2ca).
Good luck.

not so much help. Theme manager wants “theme files” and .gz is not that.

OK, but what is with the theme rpms from the Community repo?

kde 3.2+ and it is gz packed, and everyone say its excellent, and I do
not know how to install it.

what you have to do with that paticular theme is extract it
then your themes settings and into that directory you just extracted
the files to and find the theme files in there and install them

I am now using KDE 4, so this issue is dead/obsolete

Thank you all.
