A while ago, an option has been introduced in Drakconf in order to change the theme. It appears that this option is broken (trying to change the default theme for another one is not working. Try with this one for instance : http://malcer.deviantart.com/art/Mandriva-Elementary-Theme-MCC-211180775) You will notice that you cannot change the theme using the menu and, if you click on 'Add new themes', a popup will appear, saying you'll find more themes at damz.net, a website that does not longer exist. Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:
Target Milestone: --- => Mageia 5Whiteboard: (none) => drakconf
Where i can find that theme change setting in drakconf ?,i searched drakconf and i can't find this kind of settings from drakconf.

Before beeing able to see the option, you need to add an extra theme in /usr/share/mcc/themes, then, if you relaunch drakconf, you'll see it
Yes it's bit broken so i will too recommending to remove it.
I think it's broken because drakconf is ported to gtk3 so it broke all drakconf themes what are gtk2.

This just useless to remove anything from drakconf for now because drakconf is going to replaced with mageia new settings tool in future (admin panel),so why to do lot of work and then it's disappeared to air.? https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Feature:UiAbstraction4mcc
I wasn't aware there were still people using alternate themes. I though this was unused for the past 10 years

(In reply to Thierry Vignaud from comment #7) > I wasn't aware there were still people using alternate themes. > I though this was unused for the past 10 years You're right, the only theme i have found is the one I mentioned before. But if it is planned to rethink Mageia tools for Mageia 5, doing something will be useless.
You can still use alternate theme just backup original theme and replace it with your own theme.
I favour either fixing or removing the option and in any case remove the broken link to damz.net
