[SOLVED] Trying to install KDE4 Plasma Theme

[xfilecsm]

I have been trying to install the KDE4 Plasma theme Blue Sora, with no luck, from the desktop themes settings. I can not get it to show in the themes selection once downloaded and installed. Any ideas greatly appreciated

Sithlord, which install feature are you talking about? I downloaded the theme and copied it to /home/mark/.kde4/share/apps/desktoptheme as was suggested on the developer's site, no luck.

Re: Trying to install KDE4 Plasma Theme

those directions are for a different OS, as Kubuntu (and others) use /.kde instead of /.kde4.

The install feature is in System Settings, where you have the option to download and install new plasma themes. In 4.6, it is in System Settings >> Workspace Appearance >> Desktop Theme where you will find a "Get New Themes" button. But since the author hasn't set up his file to be used by this feature, you will have to follow his instructions, just substitute /.kde for /.kde4
