So can you tell me HOW can I install themes from the official repository??

Did you understand what I wrote to you? Did you click the link and read what it says? I don't really understand what you don't understand...

P.S.
Here is the link again that describes how to install gtk themes.

I will only be glad if you send a link where you can download themes

I really don't recommend you do that, ie. download themes from unknown sources. For starters, before you gain experience, install themes from the official Devuan  repository.

If you are using the "xfce4-terminal" (see menu:Help | About) then the command to copy highlighted-text is shown at menu:Edit | Copy (key-command is Shift+Ctrl+C).

Show the printout of:

$ locale
$ cat /etc/default/keyboard

and tell us which keyboard layout do you have? Norwegian, Swedisch, Spanish .... ?

I can't copy information from the terminal. I press ctrl+c but nothing
I use Russian and English layout

$ locale
$ cat /etc/default/keyboard

and tell us which keyboard layout do you have? Norwegian, Swedisch, Spanish .... ?

To the keyboard issue: I never cared for any keyboard model. Locale and keyboard layout are usually defined during setup, im my case Germany/German. Maybe you take a read into the Ubuntu wiki, or search the web a bit for the keywords "linux configure locale" and "linux configure keyboard".

What I haven't seen is a exact description of your problem, so a specific answer isn't possible.

My locale shows:

$ locale
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

In /etc/default/keyboard I find:

$ cat /etc/default/keyboard
# KEYBOARD CONFIGURATION FILE

# Consult the keyboard(5) manual page.

XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="de"
XKBVARIANT=""
XKBOPTIONS=""

BACKSPACE="guess"

That works for me.

Maybe you tell as a bit more about the problem? What is your locale? Which keyboard settings are used? What does not work?

Hello.

You shouldn't play with the root directory. Especially with files downloaded from unknown sources. Considering you have no experience with Unix systems, I would advise you to install the theme you downloaded into your user home directory.

I would advise to make everything much simpler

Create dir

$mkdir .themes

And put extracted files to that folder.

P.S.

I also suggest you to search for themes in the official Devuan package repository. It really has a lot of good themes, which, by the way, are properly tested and compatible with the current version of Devuan.

Thank you for your reply.
And sorry for the dumb question. Do I just need to type this in the terminal? Nothing else needs to be added to create a directory?

You have to do it as the user named "root".

Logically. How to do it?

Chose the Colloroid theme. The question is how to install it instead of the standard one?

You can either put it into /home/[youuser].themes/ or in /usr/share/themes. You will need to put it into /usr to have the theme work on synaptic etc.
