thanks (and your english is fine-at least so far;-)

however, i'm still a bit confused:

1) shouldn't installing themes, icons nevertheless work when you install
them the default-way via the theme-application? so, because at least in
my case it didn't-is this a bug?

2) i installed the "gorilla" icon-theme from art.gnome.org. afaik it
contains also icons for nautilus. but if selected, it just changes the
icons for apps, folders etc. so how to make it change the icons for the
toolbars also?

thx.
