Lite Themes Installer

[Valtam]

Nice idea! One question, will this app include searching and downloading themes from the internet? Or it'll only install already downloaded themes? If it can indeed allow user searching and downloading themes from the internet that will be a really very nice feature  making this one a very usefull and time saving app.

It's no easy task to maintain a 'download themes from the internet' type approach. You have to monitor every theme, imagine that. Links change, flies move on a site, it's a nightmare. Trust me, I've thought this through. The top button 'Browse Themes Website' takes the user to the correct supported link, XFCE Look where users can search for and download, well maintained, up to date themes. Remember, this is for our target audience, Windows folk, not experienced users. Experienced users have established habits that we don't expect to change. This is still a 'time saving app', even though that's not the focus. Ask a person on the street who's never used linux before, what is the system path to the themes folder. Aha, now you see where I'm coming from.

Otherwise, how is it any different from downloading and copying themes into our .themes folder?

Of course you understand there are different levels of knowledge when it comes to themeing in Linux? Given this OS targets new folk to linux, not existing users, every application we write is for them. Lite Themes is no exception. This also installs themes globally so everyone on the same pc, has the option to use a theme.
