Newbie here. How do I install themes.

I got an iTunes theme from KDE-Look today but have no idea how to install it.
I've installed other stuff with the ./configure and make etc. But the how to at the KDE-Look site is kinda vague. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

I don't know which package you chose... but I downloaded this one http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=8520 and I think the install instructions are very short but still understandable.

It says:

Quoted

Untar the archive somewhere and run "sh ./install.sh" as user on the command
line. Then open KDE's Control Center, chose "Appearance & Themes" and select the style iTunes ...


It works pretty well that way - though I don't like the look of the theme :)

Could you be a bit more precise on that one?
Do you have some sourcecode (usually .tar.gz file) and want to compile it so that you can use whatever program?
Do you have an SRPM (.src.rpm)?

Well, OK.
Usually there should be a file called "README" or "INSTALL" where you can find all the information you'll need.

"to compile" something under Linux usually means to open up a konsole and type the following:
./configure
make
su
make install

If you have installed "checkinstall" you can use the command 'checkinstall' instead of 'make install'.

HTH.
