How the heck do I install themes in 2.45 ubuntu??

Support Basics & Interface

Hey all I’ve got ubuntu 7.10 and blender 2.45. I’ve downloaded some themes from various users and have as per instruction, put the files in the .blender/scripts location. But when I go and want to change the theme the only option I get are the two themes that ship with Blender? Am I doing something wrong and can I get some help?

Thanks
Cypher

cypherslock,

Have a look at the following - scroll down about midway for the section on themes and how to install them. Basically, you have to run the script, then save the defaults.

Best of Luck!

When I try to open the script in the script window I get an error it won’t load. I’m still not sure how to do this…

cypherslock,

Post a link to one of the themes you downloaded, and I’ll give it a try tonight when I get home from work.

Hey OBI_Ron. Here’s one. The odd thing is I did this before under the windows version…

The download link is above the pic.

Thanks for the help Obi_ron, got it figured out. One step that was missing (I was actually trying to OPEN the script) is: switch to the script window, click “scripts” and choose “themes”, then you can select each theme that is there one at a time. Close Blender. When you restart it, you will see your themes listed under user preferences -> themes.

Excellent - glad you got it working!
