Installing Bling Theme on N900

There is a very nice theme for N900 and it is called Bling theme. There is a problem though with the theme, the theme still does not have a installable .deb file, and thus the files need to be directly copied to “/usr/share/icons” and you have to manually do the mkdir and all such command in the terminal in a N900, which does not seem familiar to quite a lot of people using N900. So here, is for the benefit of  all, I am posting a script that can do the job. The one lines can be run from any bash script (Linus/Windows with cygwin/Mac or even N900). Though the one liners should be self explanatory, if you have a doubt, feel free to ping me.

Linux find command – Find file and directories faster and easier

This command is very powerfull when used with combination of filters and pipes and RE.

I will give some example:

find . -type f –» List all files
find . -type f -exec rm {} <a class=“zem_slink” title=“Path (computing)” href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Path_%28computing%29" rel=“wikipedia”>\; –» Delete all files

find . -atime 12 –> Find files accessed 12 days ago
