Installing cinnamon could make stuff easier, but I don’t know if that’s possible.

/Usr/share/themes is where the window themes live.....

What is a GTKRC file?

Settings file used by GTK+, a toolkit used for building graphical user interfaces; stored in a plain text format and contains settings that set the appearance of interface components;

I read about it somewhere, but they recommended linking in .themes instead of putting the files there because otherwise there was a risk of the folder corrupting or crashing? I don’t really remember... is it recommended?

Also: Do I still need to install murrine or is it preinstalled? These themes requires it

My puppy: Precise 5.7.1, frugally installed.
I cannot test this for another week because my laptop is unavailable, but I’m hoping to know what to do when I get back to it.

From what I have searched, older versions of adwaita (old now, new when the post was made back at the murga forum) was successfully installed.
I got no luck searching for someone using the arc theme, but with modern gtk themes everything should be about the same (right?).

Starting with Arc, the prebuilt packages only existed for Arch Linux, Debian, Gentoo, NixOS and openSUSE. I’m new to linux so I don’t recognize some of them, but I guess none works for puppy.

You can do the manual install, but this requires multiple programs:
Autoconf - https://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/p ... .64-w5.pet
Automake - https://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/p ... .2-w5c.pet
Pkgconf - https://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/p ... g-1.07.pet
Gtk Murrine Engine - https://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/p ... 386-v1.pet
Gnome Themes Extra - https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-themes-extra

I don’t know if any of these are automatically on the system, but I found versions of them on the ibiblio repo. If the dotpets do not work, I might try the official releases.

Installing cinnamon could make stuff easier, but I don’t know if that’s possible. Some previews of the old forum suggested installing it, but I could not reach the whole thread in any way to see it it worked.

Here’s the github for the fork I’m using: https://github.com/jnsh/arc-theme

From what I’ve gathered, gnome-themes-extra includes the files necessary to use Adwaita and other themes outside of gnome. Plus it includes adwaita itself.

I also would like to download the arc-icon-theme - https://github.com/horst3180/arc-icon-theme or adwaitas - https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/adwaita-icon-theme

I could be very wrong about this, and it won’t work at all, but I’ve spent a lot of time researching and I really hope it does work.

EDIT: does this fit this sub? Please move if this is the wrong
