Metacity Theme Issues

I am unable to change the theme in Metacity. New themes install perfectly fine, although when I select them the theme does not change. I have also tried changing the them through gcon-editor with no avail.

To remedy this problem I have tried removing the .metacity directory from my home and umerging both metacity-setup and metacity.

Thanks!

I found I had the same problem after uprading to metacity 2.4.0 - it almost seems like the theme format has changed.......

try dropping back to the previous version, 2.3.987-r2

Have you recently upgraded to metacity-2.4? If so, be aware that 2.4 requires that themes be installed in a different manner than before (directory structure is different, that's all).

Here's a thread that may help:
