Installing themes in Gnome

[tristanlee85]

I've downloaded a couple of themes from freshmeat.net. In RH 9.1, I went to "Preferences > Theme". I get a list of the themes that are already install on the computer. So, I untar my Matrix theme:

tar -xvzf tux_matrix-0.60.0.tar.gz

and it extracts the files to /home/tristan/themes/tux_matrix.themed/

I go to 'Install theme...' and browse to the /home/tristan/themes/tux_matirx.themed/ I've tried selecting all the files on there as the theme file, but when I click 'OK', it doesn't install the theme. Any ideas?

U forgot the . in front of the themes.
The location of the gnome themes is : $HOME/.themes
After that it should work

Note $HOME is usualy /home/username
