-====== How to install new themes ====== 
-There are 5 different themes you can adjust in Xfce: the window decorations, the GTK+ interfaces, the cursors, the notifications, and the icons. You can find themes on various website, there are a couple of them:

-  * [[http://customize.org/xfce|Customize.org]]: XFCE-section 
-  * [[http://www.xfce-look.org|Xfce-Look]]: Everything, but mixed with other desktop environments 
-  * [[http://forum.xfce.org/index.php?board=9.0|XFCE-Forums]]: mostly window manager themes 
-  * [[http://browse.deviantart.com/customization/skins/linuxutil/gnome/gtk2/?alltime=yes#order=9|deviantARTs]]: (GNOME) GTK2-section

-===== Window decorations ===== 
-  * Extract the theme in ''~/.themes'' 
-    * System wide installation in ''${sysprefix}/share/themes'' 
-  * Make sure the directory layout looks like this: ''~/.themes/<theme_name>/xfwm4/'' 
-  * If the theme contains scalable images (''~/.themes/<theme_name>/xfwm4/*.svg'') it's better to install the //librsvg// package 
-  * Select the theme in the Window Manager Settings 
- 
-You can find more information about how to create a window manager theme [[howto:xfwm4_theme|here]]. 
- 
-===== GTK+ interfaces ===== 
-A GTK+ theme is the theme of the toolkit (buttons, textfields, etc). Most of the GTK+ themes need their own theme engine, make sure you have that theme engine installed with the same prefix as the GTK+ toolkit. To install and use a theme, follow these steps: 
- 
-  * Extract the theme in ''~/.themes'' 
-    * System wide installation in ''${sysprefix}/share/themes'' 
-  * Make sure the theme contains the following file: ''~/.themes/<theme_name>/gtk-2.0/gtkrc'' 
-  * Select the theme in the User Interface Settings (Xfce 4.4.x) or in the Appearance Settings (Xfce 4.6.x) 
- 
-===== Cursors (4.4 and 4.6) ===== 
-  * Extract the theme in ''~/.icons'' 
-    * System wide installation in ''${sysprefix}/share/icons'' 
-  * Make sure the directory layout looks like this: ''./icons/<theme_name>/cursors'' 
-  * Select the theme in the Mouse Settings. If there is no tab with cursor themes, make sure xfce-mcs-plugins (Xfce 4.4.x) is compiled with Xcursor support 
- 
-===== Icons ===== 
-  * Extract the theme in ''~/.icons'' 
-    * System wide installation in ''${sysprefix}/share/icons'' 
-  * Optional: run ''gtk-update-icon-cache -f -t ~/.icons/<theme_name>'' to create an icon cache (([[http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtk-update-icon-cache.html|Icon theme caching utility]])) 
-  * If the theme contains scalable icons (''~/.icons/<theme_name>/scalable'') make sure you have //librsvg// installed 
-  * Select the theme in the User Interface Settings (2nd tab, Xfce 4.4.x) or in the Appearance Settings (2nd tab, Xfce 4.6.x) 
- 
-When you have icon theme problems, it's also recommended to install the ''hicolor-icon-theme'' package.
