== Downloading and Installing Desktop Themes ==
If the selection of pre-installed themes does not provide a sufficiently broad selection of choices, there are many more themes available for download on the internet from [http://art.gnome.org/themes/metacity/ http://art.gnome.org/themes/metacity]. Both window border and icon themes are available.
To download a theme click on the theme on the web page and save it to your desktop. A new file should appear on your desktop containing the new theme. For example the following shows the MetaTivo theme on the desktop and ready to be installed:

To install the theme open the ''Theme Preferences'' dialog, click on the theme icon on the desktop with the left hand mouse button and drag the icon (keeping the mouse button depressed) onto the ''Theme Preferences'' dialog. Release the mouse button to drop the theme. The theme will now be installed into the list of themes as ''Custom Theme''. You will be asked if you wish to apply the theme. To save the new theme select it in the list and click on the ''Save Theme'' button. In the resulting dialog enter a name for the new theme and press the ''Save'' button.
Once the theme is installed into the list of theme the file may be deleted from the desktop. Simply select the desktop icon and press the keyboard delete key.
