Hey Kirkx, thanks for your input! I'll most likely be doing a mass edit of the tutorial, so I'll definitely use your suggestions!

Hi Looking for some help.
I installed some themes referenced by Kirkx from noobslab.
The installs did not produce any errors.
I could select the themes O.K, but on the icon tab there is a ! next to the Win7 icon item
It gives a message(warning):
"This icon theme as no cache file, you can create this by running"
by itself it failed
So googling gave me the fact you needed to add "index.theme"

Tried the command without & with sudo:

Any guidance welcome...
Thanks... Dave

Any ideas or suggestions how to fix this..??

Thanks... Dave

The correct format is:

Hi Valtam,

Thanks,
Unfortunately still getting the same error and warning in the gui... Dave

Looks like a badly put together icon theme. The icons will work just fine, you just won't have a cache file, no biggie.

Great tutorial, very helpful
