GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 106514
Theme installation feedback is dire
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Since Sun released 2.0, one of the most frequent complaints we've had is from people who've tried to install new themes and failed, usually (but not always) because the directory structure in the tarball was wrong. We need to do a much better job of detecting whether a theme installation has been successful or not, and telling the user what went wrong if it wasn't. Right now about the only way to tell is how long the "Install New Theme" dialog stays up... if it stays up a long time the installation was usually successful, if it disappears straight away it wasn't :)
