I can't seem to find the answer to this... I downloaded a theme http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Glassy+Matrix?content=51232. But it doesn't see, to have a file extension, and its a bin file. When I try to open it, error message says that the file is an unknown file type. How do I install this theme?

Downloaded file is a .emerald file.
To install .emerald file you need to install the package emerald.
1). Install the package emerald. It can be installed with the ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8 PPA.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install emerald
2). Open the Emerald Theme Manager.
You can install the downloaded .emerald file with Emerald Theme Manager.
- Go to
preferences. - select
Manage new Theme. - Select
Import. Then select the downloaded file.
3). Start your theme.
You can start the emerald theme by the command :
emerald --replace

I'm still having issues. I installed emerald. I ran that command in the terminal & it didnt do anything.I tried looking online and found out that im supposed to used it with compiz mnger.I followed steps here: noobslab.com/2014/02/… when I enabled "windows decorations" I get a warning stating that unity can do the same thing, or something along those lines. When I click to proceed, unity completly went away, I had no options, just a blanks screen. I had to reinstall ubuntu. Does compiz window decorations option not work in ubuntu 14.04? – user270332 Jul 13 '14 at 21:54
