Question: How to add Trisquel's desktop theme to other OSes?

Recently, my Trisquel system stopped working recently and have switched over to Debian, at least until I find what went wrong.

However, I am not really a huge fan of most desktops but really liked Trisquel's theme.

How can I add the Trisquel desktop to other OSes?

On a Debian or Debian-based system, the easiest way is probably to
install Trisquel's "trisquel-gtk-theme" and "trisquel-icon-theme"
packages.

If you have gdebi installed, you should be able to open up these[1]
links[2] and be prompted to install them graphically.

Or you can download them with wget and install them with dpkg.

$ wget http://archive.trisquel.info/trisquel/pool/main/t/trisquel-gtk-theme/trisquel-gtk-theme_8.0_all.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i trisquel-gtk-theme_8.0_all.deb
$ wget http://archive.trisquel.info/trisquel/pool/main/t/trisquel-icon-theme/trisquel-icon-theme_8.0-1_all.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i trisquel-icon-theme/trisquel-icon-theme_8.0-1_all.deb

It states that it depends on `gtk3-engines-unico` but `gtk3-engines-unico` has no installation candidate.

I guess Debian doesn't have that package. You can grab it from the
Trisquel repo too.

If you have a 64-bit system download the one that says amd64. For 32-bit
use the one that says i386. Install it with dpkg, and then try again to
install trisquel-gtk-theme.
