The link works just fine but the visible link is truncated so you cannot copy/paste it directly. Use the complete URL.

Charon795 . . . Certain themes are available by default and you can switch them in Xfce from the "Settings - Appearance" options.

You can see the Devuan specific artwork in our git store:

https://git.devuan.org/devuan/documenta … t/graphics

There are also previews on the forum for the first 5 Devuan releases.

In the settings-appearance I see only one theme and those that I installed. I don’t see any other topics that could be put on..
The link you sent me gives me a 404 error.

Be creative ! Try search

apt search theme | less

That's a different conversation) thank you
Now I see a huge pile of unknown topics and.. All that remains is to understand how you can view each topic without installing it and without entering each one separately into Google?
ps: is it worth downloading themes from xfce-look.org?
I really liked the whitesur theme, but I didn’t see it in the official repository

Hello.

Please, check, maybe this dir (.themes) already exist.

Nope, it's because they exactly copied what was written in the other thread $mkdir .themes

Since there is no variable "mkdir" it evaluated to empty string, and thus was removed, leaving ".themes" which Bash tried to execute as a command, and since there isn't such a command, it displayed "command not found".

...

The command is mkdir .themes - no dollar - just like you didn't put a dollar for the ls -a command.

Yes, the dollar is the prompt - experienced users know that, but new users don't - so it should be explicitly pointed out, or not used - personally, I'll only include a prompt when displaying both input and output. When offering advice for a specific command to run, it's less confusing to not use it. (Especially when one forgets the space and doesn't spot it whilst proofreading. Or writes one command with it and one without.)

Charon795:
It's a good practice to always verify what a command does before you enter it. Putting "man $mkdir" into a search engine would have clarified that the correct command is "mkdir" and explained what it does. The best source for Devuan is Debian man pages //manpages.debian.org

A dollar at the start of a command is usually the shell prompt (and thus not intended to be typed), but elsewhere in a command it can be a shell variable, and those can significantly change what a command does.

Something else worth pointing out - when a file or directory name starts with a "." it is considered "hidden" and not always displayed. This is why the need for ls -a instead of just ls. If you use a graphical file manager, it will have an option to toggle hidden resources on/off, which you would want to do if managing this folder with such a tool.

Also, if you prefer to reduce the number of files/directories directly in your home, you might prefer to use .local/share/themes instead of .themes

In the unlikely event you did need to enter the $ the poster would tell you explicitly.

I write this command but it gives me an error:

Hello.

Please, check, maybe this dir (.themes) already exist.

Open a terminal and type

ls -a

If this dir does not exist, create this dir with command:

$ mkdir .themes

You can search for the gtk3 themes with simple command:

$ apt search gtk3 | less

You can scroll up or down with arrow keys.

Using this method, you will easily find the gtk 3 theme you need.
