Re: Windows7-theme (N900)
 

Hmm I get a

could not replace symlink: Invalid cross-device link

message when I run the above

Re: Windows7-theme (N900)
 

That's normal. Now reboot and delete the Windows 7 theme's directory from /usr/share/themes/ and you should be able to choose themes again.

Re: Windows7-theme (N900)
 

As a workaround changed the theme and it changed the icons and not the background. After that I simply restarted and then chose to change background separately....

Re: Windows7-theme (N900)
 

Hmm that still didnt work

Re: Windows7-theme (N900)
 

Then it wasn't because this theme.

Tell me what folders you have listed when you run this:
ls -l /usr/share/themes/

And as a bonus question; do you have widgets gallery or Meego theme installed? They are known to cause theme changing not working.

Re: Windows7-theme (N900)
 

Hmmm

You may be onto something with the Meego theme being installed

I downloaded the Windows7 theme and selected this and used it for about a week, the other day I checked what was new and noticed the meego theme so I downloaded it and installed it (through app manager)

After that I went to change the Windows 7 theme and noticed that I couldnt change it, I assumed it was that as someone else had the same problem since installing the Windows 7 theme

I dont have widgets gallery installed

Re: Windows7-theme (N900)
 

Then it's the Meego theme.

Uninstall it and you also need to remove it's directory manually afterwards. I can help you to point out which folder to delete if you give me a list of folders I requested in my previous post :)

Re: Windows7-theme (N900)
 

Just doing that now :)

along with trying to keep the kids quiet LOL

Re: Windows7-theme (N900)
 

I guess the theme is very similar to Windows itself!!

Re: Windows7-theme (N900)
 

Right, all sorted now :)

I uninstalled Theme Customiser too along with Nostro theme and Android Theme

Many thanks for help
