    when I click on the apt url, it says, package zgegblog-themes not working
    :confused:

    Guess I need to refresh the package list...
    Is there a way to just refresh the packages from the bisigi ppa?

    You have to add first the repositories and the verification key before to click the apt:// install

    Thanks! I had added the repositories and the verification key. Needed to refresh the package list... somehow, didn't get prompted for the option.

    Still, I installed the themes and they are great!
    Especially the balanzan theme with the Koala wallpaper 8)

    Balanzan is one of the nicest themes that I've ever seen on any DE or OS. Its polished and complete. Usually a theme is weak in one area or another, but this one's awesome. The only thing that would improve it, IMO, would be a GDM theme with a face browser (my kids like clicking on their pictures to log in).

    You can always costumise the GDM themes , the backround image ..., i will check for you how to do that :)

    I've just been too lazy to get around to learning that myself. Most themes don't include a face browser. Perhaps I should hack this one together. Of course, I'd be obligated to maintain it :wink:
