Re: [e-users] Installation instructions for e themes

[pw <p.w...@te...>]

Hello,

I resolved the problem.
Looking at the Makefile for the theme indicates that
the default enlightenment path for themes is

/usr/local/share/e16/themes

I simply made a soft link to the themes directory in

/usr/X11R6/share/enlightenment/

ie:

ln -s /usr/local/share/e16/themes /usr/X11R6/share/enlightenment/themes

Now the wm sees the theme but the theme is apparently the wrong version
and I get an error.
