[Solved] Themes don't appear in prefs gui

Hi

I've downloaded several themes from http://xfce-look.org/ , i've put them in /home/steph/.themes (according to http://wiki.xfce.org/howto/install_new_themes), but they don't appear in the themes selector (i can see all the others (like 'Clearlooks' and else))... Don't understand why (i've even tried to logout and login again, but it had no effect).

I did it right, i think, for example i have /home/steph/.themes/Xaphire-Aqua/xfwm4

Please don't tell me i have to put them in /usr/share/themes. I don't want to do that.

Thanks for your help!

The xfwm4 themes show up in Settings>Window Manager

Right, thanks!

Pour les francophones: "Settings>Window Manager" => "Paramètres > Gestionnaire de fenêtres"
