Hey Kirkx, thanks for your input! I'll most likely be doing a mass edit of the tutorial, so I'll definitely use your suggestions!

Hi Looking for some help.
I installed some themes referenced by Kirkx from noobslab.
The installs did not produce any errors.
I could select the themes O.K, but on the icon tab there is a ! next to the Win7 icon item
It gives a message(warning):
"This icon theme as no cache file, you can create this by running"
Code:
gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/Win7-icons/
by itself it failed
So googling gave me the fact you needed to add "index.theme"
Code:
gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/Win7-icons/ index.theme

Tried the command without & with sudo:
Code:
dave@hp-laptop:~$ gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/Win7-icons/ index.theme
gtk-update-icon-cache: Failed to open file /usr/share/icons/Win7-icons/.icon-theme.cache : File exists
dave@hp-laptop:~$

Any guidance welcome...
Thanks... Dave

The correct format is:

Code:
sudo su

gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/Win7-icons/

Looks like a badly put together icon theme. The icons will work just fine, you just won't have a cache file, no biggie.
