After using Linux Mint 9 with Fluxbox window anager for a while i decide to add more themes or also know as styles. so in this post will show how to easily install fluxbox themes on Linux Mint 9 or any other distribution using Fluxbox window manager.
Step 1:
you will need administration privileges to be able to add extra themes to style directory, there are two ways to do that
1. Open terminal then type
This command will give you root privileges to Thunar file manager, type your password, it will take you directly to styles directory.
2. another way if you don’t prefer using command line: open thunar file manager then go to fluxbox directory and right click on styles folder select open folder as root. To be able to add or modify in this directory.
Step 2:
paste Theme folder. then go to fluxbox menu and check out the new theme on styles menu.

That’s it for now.

If you don’t like installing stuff as root, you can also place the themes in /home/yourUserName/.fluxbox/styles
Agreed
