I have used KDE3 and KDE4 themes. I just download and install as appropriate
via the relevant configuration tool. Accessible through KControl. You don't
say what you are trying to adjust. One gottcha I hit: don't unzip a
downloaded mouse theme.
I could give more detailed instructions if I knew what you were trying to
change. I have personally recently downloaded and installed mouse themes and
wallpapers/backgrounds.

That's a widget style. KDE3 widget styles contain C++ code which, due to
changes in the theming system, need to have some changes made (QT -> TQT
conversion) and then be recompiled in order for them to work with Trinity.
There used to be some scripts knocking around that could help with the code
changes, but they're not foolproof. You can open an RFE for the Domino
style in Bugzilla, if you like.
Most other KDE3 theming elements should work, including backgrounds, icon
themes, sound themes, mouse cursors, and I think tdm and amaroK themes
might be okay, based on the examination I did of their structure. I'm not sure
about window decoration styles.

Did you read the Help in the Theme Manager? It explains how to do it.
Don't you have the "Install New Themes" button at the bottom of the list of
themes in Theme Manager?

Thanks for your reply Lisi,
Maybe it could be an idea of a new "project" for TDE.
We should make a "topic" on the wiki that list working theme and
artworks on R14 and explain how to install it.

I've had no trouble before. But then I haven't blanket installed
"artwork"
before, only themes etc. For which you just use the relevant bit of the
Control Center. I can't find "artwork" as a heading.

Just a caution repeated from the help file: If you have any customizations
you want to save, be sure to create a theme to save them before changing to
another theme.

Thanks - hadn't got as far as discovering that! I think I'll stick to
backgrounds! I've obviously been lucky - but when you think how diverse the
origins of that artwork are, it's no wonder that it is not totally
consistent.
