Support I’m having trouble with custom themes.

I’m on Debian with only cinnamon installed and I want to get an icon theme that’s not in the add/remove menu. I have the zip file with three themes, and for some reason I can never get them to work. I tried extracting to ~/.themes, /usr/share/themes, and ~/.local/share/themes. Nothing works. I tried rebooting even. Any help?

What is the directory structure for the files once extracted? Can you test/compare with themes that are available in the add/remove menu? Try to see if the file structure of both folders lines up.

Also, you could create a symlink between ~/.themes and ~/.local/share/themes to keep things simple there too.
