Hello!
i recieved my ibook last week, and am liking the simplicity that OSX has going for it. I have run into a small snag though. i am sure its just something small im overlooking but, here is my problem.
i downloaded theme changer 0.5 and a few choice themes. i installed themechanger, but don't know where to put the themes. i know im a goofball but,help?

system - library - make a folder and name it themes. Should work.

AACCCCK! NOOOO! Don't do that.
In your home folder (the one in Users with your user name, NOT the System folder), go to the Library folder, and create a folder called "Themes", and put your themes in there.

thanks!
i had actually done that, what i didn't realize was that i wouldn't have the theme files in subfolders. once i moved them into the main themes folder, i was good to go.
thanks for the help

You can put the themes folder in either location (in main library or in user/library). Depends on who will have access to it.

Yes, but the original responder seemed to be implying that you should put it in your /System/Library folder instead of your /Library folder.
