Ubuntu – how can i install new themes on Xubuntu

Installing the theme is pretty simple. Simply extract the folder in the archive to ~/.icons (the ~/ represents your home folder, and .icons is a hidden directory).

Then, install Ubuntu-Tweak from here: https://launchpad.net/~tualatrix/+archive/next, and use that to change your cursor theme.

Go to System settings -> Application appearance (or Workspace appearance).

In some items (Colors, Icons, etc) you have the option to:

• Get new (you can search in a dialog box)
• Import (search a downloaded file and install it)

In other items (Style):

• If it's in the repositories: use synaptics (or similar)
• If it isn't in ther repositories: see if there's a PPA and use it

There are other situations that involve compiling a theme, but that's a longer story.
