I went there and they have an amazing number of themes for any window
manager. Now I have another problem. My kde doesn't seem to have a
theme manager! In fact, when I went to the kde control center, it
opened up the window, but inside it was empty. I also went to the main
menu, settings, desktop, but no themes. Kdebase is supposed to contain
the theme manager. What's going wrong here?
