It is working wonderful. Thanks rolltide101x.

Also fusion-icon is used to work emerald theme.

These packages must be added in the repository.

Just do a search in Bugzilla to see if someone has already requested the package, and if not, put in a new bug report against Mageia 1 and make it clear in the description that it is a package present in Mandriva 2010.2 that is not present in Mageia 1 and if an interested packager picks it up it will be imported into Mageia and put into the Core>Updates repository.

No problem lol
For some reason I couldnt get it to work with fusion-icon so I just added it to startup. It started up with Fusion but I couldnt change the theme. I can not remember if I restarted after I installed it. That may have been it

Also would this be the correct place to post things like this? I could not see a more logical area and when I run into undocumented things I try to post it somewhere to give someone a reference.
