- Download from the downloads directory
- Open a terminal application
cd Downloads
- Untar:
tar -zxvf JGD-FallSunset-GnomeIcons.tar.gz
- Copy to local .icons directory:

Once installed, you can use a theme switching application such as LXAppearance or Gnome Tweaks to change the theme and/or icon theme to JGD-FallSunset.
Metacity users can switch the theme from the command line:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences theme JGD-FallSunset
The above setting worked in a Compiz environment in Arch. For other desktop environments, see the article Gnome Appearance modify command in Linux / How to change theme using command line in GNOME.
Openbox users can change the the theme with the Openbox Configuration Manager (obconf). Here are the recommended font selections that work best with this theme, found under the Appearance tab:
- Active window title: DejaVu Serif Bold
- Inactive window title: DejaVu Serif Bold
- Menu header: DejaVu Serif Bold
- Menu item: DejaVu Sans Condensed
- Active On-screen display: DejaVu Sans Condensed
- Inactive On-screen display: DejaVu Sans Condensed
JGD-FallSunset requires the Murrine theme engine.
sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-murrine
sudo pacman -S gtk-engine-murrine
