Greetings! Happy to be here!
I’m trying my hand at installing different themes into my setup. I’ve downloaded tar.gz theme packages from various places. Then in the Appearance app, I click the Install button. Then I select the theme tar.gz and it says the theme was installed properly.
However, the theme does not appear in the Themes area of the Appearance app. Even logging out then in does not make the theme appear there. I still only see the standard Mate themes: Amtient-MATE, BlackMATE, etc…
Oddly, when I click on the Customize button, I do see those installed themes in the list, but when I click them, they seem to only partly load. Windows boarders change, but folder icons, etc., do not.
Lastly, I am unable to install the theme that isn’t working because (1) it’s not showing in the Themes tab, (2) the folder for the theme does not appear in /usr/share/themes and (3) when I click on Customize, I see the misbehaving theme there, but Delete is grayed out.
Setup is MATE 16.04 on Samus Chromebook Pixel 2 (not Crouton, proper install), using Raphael’s Linux-Samus kernel.
Please help! Am I installed incompatible themes? These are some of the ones I tried:
Thanks,
Benjamin
