Themes not visible in Unity Tweak Tool
THIS is the theme I'd like to install. What I've done so far:
- Extracted Dark-Aurora folder from the archive.
- Copied that folder to
~/usr/share/themes
. - Created
/home/[user-name]/.themes
folder and copied Dark-Aurora there too. - Opened Unity Tweak Tool, clicked on Theme.
- Only the three default themes (Ambiance, Highcontrast and Radiance) are there). Dark-aurora is nowhere to be found.
So what am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.
Solution 1:
After extracting the archive, you'll find Aurora and Dark Aurora folders there. You have to put them in either ~/.local/share/themes
or /usr/share/themes
directory.
However, I saw that they don't appear in Unity Tweak Tool. The solution is using Gnome Tweak Tool to set the theme.
To install it -
sudo apt install gnome-tweak-tool
Open and set the theme from Appearance Section.
Update after further information It appeared OP's .local
folder was owned by root. To get the ownership use sudo chown -r your-user-name ~/.local
before copying the theme folder. Then use cp
without using sudo
.
