After the download is complete, decompress the package. Let's take a look at the file structure:

After opening, we will see the Four folders shown in. These four folders are a sub-themes, with only slight differences between sub-themes, such as colors.

Open a subtopic and you will see the file structure. In fact, the structure of each GTK topic is similar. All include gnome-shell, gtk-2.0, gtk-3.0, unity, lisecneuron file (contains copyright information), readme file (installation method, instructions for use) and so on.

To install a theme, You must place the entire theme folder (or sub-theme) in the system theme folder. That is, one of the four sub-themes in this example is placed in the system topic folder.

Generally, the system themes are stored in the directory/usr/share/themes:

Open this directory and we will see all the theme in our computer. Does Ambiance and Radiance seem familiar? Yes, they are the default themes of Ubuntu. Others are the themes installed by the mini-editor.

In Linux, due to permission issues, we cannot directly move files to the system directory. Therefore, we need to use commands to perform operations, in this case, we need the powerful terminal helper. But don't be scared. It's just a few commands. It's not that difficult.

First, we need to find the location where the downloaded theme file is stored (for convenience, we 'd better use ubuntu tweak to change the address bar of the file manager to show it). My topic exists on the desktop, path:/home/linuxidc/desktop/Uncomplicated-1.04

Open the terminal and run the cd command to enter the directory:

Linuxidc @ ubuntu :~ $ Cd/home/linuxidc/desktop/Uncomplicated-1.04
Linuxidc @ ubuntu :~ /Desk/Uncomplicated-1.04 $

In this way, enter the Uncomplicated-1.04 directory, next we need to move the Uncomplicated-Orange folder to the system theme directory/usr/share/themes, we use the cp command, you must add sudo to use the root permission:

After running the preceding command, go to the system topic directory and check what happened! Is the replication successful?

After completing the above steps, we will be able to activate our theme happily! We can use the unity tweak tool or the ubuntu tweak tool to enable it. See the top of this page.

The above is the Gtk theme installation method introduced in this article. At the same time, because some theme has provided PPA, it is easier to install it. simply execute the installation command and I will not go into details here.
