how do i install this?
Gno-sx - Gnome Total Conversion.
for the icon pack. do i have to set one by one? cause in the rar it only have icons not theme..thanks
thx contrasutra that program looks like exactly waht i needed. Now to find some aqua skins...
for the icon set from the theme program select "customize" then icons, and install the new set.
You're probobly gonna have to compile it yourself.
Its not fun, it took me two days (dialup).
I suggest you wait for Mandrake 9.2 to come out. That will include GNOME 2.4.
But you may be able to find some RPMs in places. Search around Google.
:rule: I just registered to see this and OMG ... wowowowowowow!!! ... now THIS is what I have been waiting for ... the only request I have now is to make a Firebird or Mozilla theme to match this abso---LOUTELY gorgeous theme
thank you so much for your time and effort. I am sure it took a long time :own:

YIKES!!
I don't have three more empty CD's to burn Mndk 9.2 again. <_<
and you said compiling is hard/takes a long time? <_< Drats..
Look around for some RPMs. They're much easier to install. I'll see if I can find you some links.
But honestly, Mandrake 9.2 is much better, you should get it (when it comes out).
do you know how much better 9.2 will be cimpared to 9.1?
maybe ill upgrade my mandrake box to 9.2
Well, I think the best thing is updated packages.
You cant beat newer software.
Better NTFS resizing too, thats good.
Hey, I love the theme. I've used Linux off and on but have not totally grasped how to use it. If someone could help explain to me how to install this theme and use it, it would be much appreciated. I'm running Red Hat 9.
Well, I have the themes all installed but now I have some questions.
How do I get the Minimize, Maximize, Close "Stoplight" on the left side instead of the right?
How do I customize my "start bar" to add text and such?

Go to /home/[your username]/.themes and extract the file here.
Then go to the Gnome Control Center and open up the themes preferences. Then go to Details. The theme should show up there..
Contrasutra, could you make "how do i get my max/min/close buttons on the left hand side" a sticky topic... everytime someone releases a new skin it gets asked...
people use the search feature... i alone have answered that question about 3 times.

sorry another gdesklets problem...
i found some rpms which seemed to install without problems (well i had to allow-nodeps so i could install one of the sensors, then the gdesklets itself), but when i try to start i get this:
[fissy@slug gdesklets]$ gdesklets
Python 2.3 is recommended.
Python 2.2 might result in unexpected behavior!
Fatal Python error: could not import gnome.canvas
Aborted
[fissy@slug gdesklets]$
after the first time i saw that message, i downloaded and did ./compile, make, make install on python 2.3
but i still get that message.
Any ideas?
Fissy,
do a 'which python'
followed by 'python' and check what version python reports, I have the feeling you have the 2 versions installed in 2 different places /usr/local/bin/python and /usr/bin/python
also if the gdesklets rpm was compiled against python 2.2 libraries you will get that message.
[fissy@slug fissy]$ which python
/usr/bin/python
[fissy@slug david]$ python
Python 2.2.2 (#2, Feb 5 2003, 10:40:08)
[GCC 3.2.1 (Mandrake Linux 9.1 3.2.1-5mdk)] on linux-i386
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>
[fissy@slug fissy]$
the contents of /usr/local/bin:
[fissy@slug bin]$ ls -a
./ id3convert* id3info* idle* python*
../ id3cp* id3tag* pydoc* python2.3*
wow! how did you know that just from what i said. Just guessed i would have been too stupid to the contents of /usr/bin/pythonremove the other python first.
oh well... i'm downloading MDK 9.2 as I speak, maybe that will make life easier...
Thanks for the help Telmo 
as root do:
mv /usr/local/bin/python /usr/local/bin/python2.2.2
ln -s /usr/local/bin/python2.3 /usr/local/bin/python

Thanks for your time btw,

[root@slug fissy]# gdesklets
You need a recent version of PyGTK to run this program.
[root@slug fissy]#
ARRRRGGGGGGGGGG
i'm sure i installed a version it asked for when i was having troubles before i found the rpms
its funny in a way i suppose...

Why not just recompile gdesklets?
A new version came out two days ago too, you should get it.
Do you have a link to the "move buttons" thread, so I can sticky it?
Im too busy to search. 
don't worry, your problem is that altho now you have a brand spanking new python you don't have the modules needed to run gdesklets compiled for that python. there is nothing wrong with your system it is just a matter of installing the modules for python2.3.
You can easily go back to python2.2 and get gdesklets working with the warnings, you can install the neccesary modules for 2.3, or if you are getting a new Mandrake just wait
here is how to go back:
rm -rf /usr/bin/python
rm -rf /usr/local/bin/python
now you have 2 options:
option 1:
ln -s /usr/bin/python2.2.2 /usr/bin/python
ln -s /usr/local/bin/python2.2.2 /usr/local/bin/python
options 2:
mv /usr/bin/python2.2.2 /usr/bin/python
mv /usr/local/bin/python2.2.2 /usr/local/bin/python
hmm... i installed that version of python because it wasn't working with the older version.
Those commands have alleviated the original problem, but now i'm left with my Pygtk being out of date instead.
Unfortunately i'm am very much a ****ie, and so also an rpm slave.
that new mandrake should be on my desk tomorrow...
thank you for your efforts though
