Okay, I see it, but it’s still not showing up. I created these directories at the highest level on the drive in dom0. Is that right or should this be a subdirectory somewhere in the file system?
still don’t see them
They were meant to be in your home directory … something like
/home/user/.themes in case you choose the username ‘user’ when
installing Qubes OS.
Fortunately there is a really easy way to find out: if you just type
‘cd’ in the terminal without anything else and hit return you will be in
your home directory.
You can then also type ‘pwd’ and hit return and you will see the full
path of your home directory.
To fix your particular issue:
- change to your home directory
- move the .themes directory to your home
like this:
cd
sudo mv /.themes .
sudo gives root rights, ‘mv’ means “move”, ‘/.themes’ is ‘.themes’ in
the root directory ‘/’ and the dot at the end means ‘here’ because you
are already in your home directory after previously doing the ‘cd’

Lots of commands being learnt here.
In my post I said ~/.themes - that tilde ~, has a special meaning. It
means the home directory.
So for the root account ~ means /root
For default Qubes user ~ means /home/user/

It’s interesting but does it contain Camouflaged lock screen and decrypting screen ?
I have discovered this yesterday and I just wanted to add that if you want to use this theme when running apps with sudo, you have to copy both dirs to /root as well

What should I have to do in order my minimal templates (both fedora and debian) to have this theme and icons applied (in thunar/nautilus, terminal and other few apps installed in minimals)?
To be honest there is a couple awesome websites with icons for download that are complete representation of well known icons such as Windows. (Just type in a search: ex: “Brave Icon png or svg”).
One of the sites I have been using is https://Icons8.com
So far just with downloading their icons into an AppVM like the Work Qube and transporting it to the a DispVM for inspection. Then once satisfied, ill pull it from the work Qube by utilizing dom0, and putting the image on my desktop (just to find it easily) and create a launcher with basic shortcuts already prebaked in (like the Firefox ESR). Then ill switch the Firefox URL in Firefox for Brave.com… then ill go back to the launcher’s settings and switch out the Firefox icon that is blurry for a very nice and sleek Brave.com Icon that i ported over.
Im working on a nice Windows 11 theme for Qubes manually. I’ll share my progress soon. Only problem i ran into was the “taskbar” with the Qubes Stock Icons for the Network (wifi), speakers, and battery.
(I’ll try and tag this to the icon forum later on…but this is a very cheeky way of "interior designing in Qubes OS… ; ) )
*** Windows / Qubes “Box”
Theme: “default-hdpi” goes a long way for stock Qubes “obscurity”**** ; )
