Problem installing user theme

[emil_21]

I am trying to install this theme on debian buster with Gnome as DE: https://www.gnome-look.org/p/1236261/. I downloaded the theme compressed file and extracted the files in `/usr/share/themes/` and `$HOME/.themes`, but i don't see the theme in the Tweak Tool. Why is that? I also have enabled the 'user themes' extension.

Hello. You had to choose one of the two installation locations . Or

Code: Select all

/usr/share/themes/

(this is bad decision), or

Code: Select all

$HOME/.themes

So, I suggest you delete theme from

Code: Select all

/usr/share/themes/

I deleted the theme files in /usr/share/themes/ but the theme still won't show in Tweak Tool. Is there any other way to try to activate the theme than using the Tweak Tool?

This is metacity theme. Did you install this (gtk3 theme) ?

I was able to install gtk3 theme. I guess the metacity theme is not possible to be installed.

Metacity was the default window manager used by the GNOME 2 desktop environment until it was replaced by Mutter in GNOME 3. And yes, Metacity is a simple compositing window manager that integrates nicely with GNOME Flashback.
