still not working

i cant get the gtk working only the metacity, buttons still are square and looking like redmond engine.
does it depend on a special engine ?
i have installed the following engines: aurora, clearlooks, crux, glide, hcengine, industrial, mist, murrine, redmond95, smooth, terranova, bluecurve, libia, sapwood, ubuntulooks and thinice.
i tried to install by coping/paste in the themes folder and with drag and drop onto the appearence preferences widow - nothing works.
thats sad, nice theme anyway.

i have ubuntu 9.10 here - Apr 27 2010

Mac OS 9 Platinum gtk theme

you should be banned from this fourm because you have got no manners at all.

i just confused metacity with emerald, and of corse there is no os9 emerald theme, like that in your screenshot, on gnome-look.

and i am not a "stupid american" i'm austrian. my advise for you is: stop using drugs and consult a couch doctor !

cannot find a suitable window decoration here, the link is not working.
if there is no matching metacity or emerad theme, this metacity is completely useless.

i finally got it to work.
i used the german language package of artwiz fonts. so i had to write "tar xvjf artwiz-aleczapka-de-1.3.tar.bz2" instead of "tar xvjf artwiz-aleczapka-en-1.3.tar.bz2"

with an installer errors like this would not occure at all. this was a really good example of a lack of usability and design.

.thank you for your reply but it didnt work the way you described. i copied the extracted folder to the usr/share/fonts dir and restarted x. there were no artwiz fonts.
it is just too complicated for the average user.
i played around a year with the really unusable opensuse and now i use the (in my humble opinion) first linux distribution that is usable for the average user: ubuntu 9.04.
but things like installing fonts have to work when linux wants to be an alternative to the awful unusable windows7 and to the technically outdated windows xp.
the linux community and every single linux-programmer have to have the average unser in mind when developing software, programmers have to open their minds on design and ergonomic.
that is the secret behind the success of mac os and microsoft!

install the fonts?

i mean all this:

"Untar it by doing something like:
tar xvjf artwiz-aleczapka-en-1.3.tar.bz2
sudo mv artwiz-aleczapka-en-1.3 /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc
Then execute the following commands:
tmaps.conf
sudo cp /etc/fonts/conf.avail/70-yes-bitmaps.conf /etc/fonts/conf.d
sudo fc-cache -f -v
sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig
sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config"

crap is not working for the average user, i just want use linux not to test my programming skills. why not an installer, click on it and the average user would be able to install the fonts!
why is it not possible to do things the easy way in linux?

running ubuntu 9.04

disc i/o-led-bar is not working
just to show free disk space there is already a screenlet without i/o graphs it is useless to me
