    Theme help

    Well, recently, I had this theme problem, what I did is downloaded a theme package, that was a .zip and then moved to (the name of the file is "Nord")

    Code:
    /root/.theme/
    I had to mode this to

    Code:
    /usr/share/themes/
    I tried

    Code:
    root@bt~#: cp /root/.themes/Nord /usr/share/themes/

    But that gave me a "omitting" err0r, what is wrong? can anyone technically point out where I am going wrong?

    Also, resolve my problem with this theme, somehow, with the GUI when i copy this stuff (Nord) from the /root dir to the /usr/share/theme directory where the file should be, it doesnt (the theme) come on the theme (appearances and settings) menu? how to install a particular theme then>? I tried dragging the whole zip file to the appearances and settings, still?

    Thanks to read the thread, I hope I will learn something fro here, btw, I am a new user, this is my first day here

    Which distro are you using and which desktop environment?

    okay I did it, what was to be done is using the recursive way that is

    Code:
    cp -r /root/the_file_/ /usr/share/themes
    worked like a charm !
