Hi,
I have downloaded several themes from Gnome-looks.org for GDM, but I
can't find any documentation on the net for installing the theme (not
just the background picture) that actually works for F24. I've found
lots of documentation for updating the default background, but none of
that documentation is valid on my system as either the specified picture
file doesn't exist in the directory specified or the specified directory
doesn't exist. The files I've downloaded are tar.gz files which
Gnome-tweak won't accept as being Gnome-shell theme files (I've found
lots of doco on the net when searching for updating GDM themes that talk
about configuring Gnome Shell).
Does anyone have any ideas on where I need to put the extracted
directories and how I tell GDM which of those themes to use?
regards,
Steve

Hi Steve,
I believe you just need to dump them into "/usr/share/themes/" if
you want everyone on the system to have access. Otherwise it should just
be "~/.themes/" or "~/.local/share/themes/"
I just put the one I use into "/usr/share/themes/" since I don't
usually install things for single users. After that you need to fire up
gnome-tweak-tool (if it was already open, close and re-open it) and
select your new theme from the various drop downs in the Appearance tab.
Cheers,
Bryon
