Hi all,

Is there a way of installing new themes to fluxbox?

I did have a look at the directory structure and the contents of the theme files. But I can't see an obvious way to add new themes, not even the Fluxbox manual helped there

Or is it a case of taking the theme file and extracting all the bits to the right directories?

Any suggestions welcome.

Have a look at < http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/themes.php >

Unpack them into home/<myname>/.fluxbox/styles and then you'll find them at the bottom of the list.
