Window$ theme madness

<< < (2/3) > >>

toadlife:
I attempted to try one of those XP themes on my BSD box at work today. What a frikken disaster. I unzipped the theme and look at the install.txt. It said to run three scripts to install the various parts of the theme.

So I open up a shell and run them...."Command not found".

WTF?

So I open up the script in a text editor and right at the top is

#!/bin/bash

HUH? bash is not a stadard UNIX shell. Pretty much every UNIX besides linux does not come with bash installed by default. Even more annoying was the fact that there were no commands in the script that required bash. The author could have used the standard /bin/sh and been compatible with 100% of unix-like systems in the world. So, I replaced the bin/bash with /bin/sh in every script and then ran them, but the theme didn;t show up in KDE. I navgated to the directoroties that the scripts had copied the files too and the files has been put IN THE WRONG %$%$## PLACE.

I deleted all of the files and gave up.

Ubuntu, intuitive?

Don't make me fucking laugh, DOS is more intuitive than Ubuntu. :rolleyes:

We, seen Windows themes on Linux but is it possible to do it the other way round, are there Linux themes for Windows?

Can you make XP look like Redhat's Bluecurve?

Who would want to ?

@ toadlife: that's what you get for trying to install that shit. It also shows how fucked in the head the theme makers are ... besides them even thinking of making a Window$ theme for Linux.

Aloone_Jonez:
No the makers are just trying to make the Linux experiance as near as possible to the Windows experiance. :D

Double post, sorry I clicked the reply button twice - please delete.
