How to install Empathy themes in Ubuntu 10.04 "Lucid Lynx"?
  • Download the themes. Extract it and copy-paste the folder to '/usr/share/adium/message-styles/' in your Ubuntu 10.04(you have to be logged in as root to do this).
  • Meanwhile, when you extract the theme file, make sure that, you only copy-paste the folder whose file name ends with 'AdiumMessageStyle'. Otherwise it may not work. After copy-pasting the theme folder, my /usr/share/adium/message-styles/ looked something like this.
  • You can change Empathy themes by browsing to Edit - Preferences - Themes in your Empathy window.
  • Done. Have fun. More themes here.
