The default theme is kinda boring, but I prefer Debian because is stable and have the most useful apps and software for me. Also, I like XFCE because of performance and stability, so I am not changing to other WM.
So I tried to Install some themes and icons from pling and succeded when they provide a zip
or tarball, but some of the themes don't have that and just provide an OCS install
Ubuntu-Install I did not found a way to install OCS in Debian, just Ubunutu and other, is there a way to install it?
I found the exact answer for your question here.
I have tested it in a Debian 9 box myself and everything seems to be working.
Post by user rolf:
I installed a few themes from gnome-look.org
The site uses a special URL scheme. The URL handler comes in a package named
ocs-url
. Here are the instructions for installing the URL handler on linux-apps.com.However, the installation method described on this site has an issue: it marks the dependencies as manually installed.
Therefore I recommend the following method instead.
My method will ensure that, when you uninstall ocs-url, its dependencies will be automatically uninstalled as well.
First download the
ocs-url
Debian package, then (filename and directory name might differ):cd ~/Downloads sudo dpkg -i ocs-url_3.1.0-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb sudo apt-get install --fix-broken
Once this is done, all you have to do is click on install links on gnome-look.org and them click "OK" and the themes will be installed in
~/.themes
.Restart the Tweaks tool and your new themes should be available.
Tested on Debian.
