I downloaded this installer for WindowMaker, but when i run it i get this message.
Unable to locate WindowMaker Please check your Global Install Directory.

What do i put in the Global Install Directory?.
I tried putting the WMrun.WindowMaker but that did not work, Do i have to point to where the WM themes are?.

So looks like wmthemeinstall doesn't find your Window Maker... well, where have you installed it? I'm not sure what this Global Install Directory is, maybe it means the global WindowMaker/ directory, it may be located in, for example, /usr/local/share/WindowMaker/. Where actually is that dir in your system?

Also, are you trying to install those themes as root? Because if you install them as a normal user, I guess you don't have write permissions to that global dir.

Maybe someone else knows a little better since I haven't actually used wmthemeinstall... maybe I'll download it so it would be little easier to install themes...
