     if [ -z $1 ]
       then
     	echo
     	echo "	Usage:"
     	echo "		`basename $0` adiumxtra://some.url.here/extra"

     	else
     		for theme in $THEMES
     		do
     			cp -r $theme $DEST
     		done

Use gconf to enable this protocol handler for clever browsers:

gconftool-2 -t string -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/adiumxtra/command "/usr/loca/bin/adiumxtra-install %s"
gconftool-2 -t bool -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/adiumxtra/enabled true
gconftool-2 -t bool -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/adiumxtra/needs_terminal false

Works at least in Chromium :)

In a clean karmic beta installation there were two blocking bugs to install a theme. 1. if ! -d $DEST this leads to error : 42: !-d: unexpected operator to fix it you must add a space between ! and -d “if ! -d $DEST”

If you tried to install a theme which contains a space in its name like this http://adiumxtras.com/index.php?a=xtras&xtra_id=4987 things will go crazy! errors like this : 42: Adium: unexpected operator cp: cannot stat Adium': No such file or directory cp: cannot statMatte.AdiumMessageStyle/’: No such file or directory

To fix it enclose $THEME in double quotes like this: if -z “$THEMES” then echo “No themes found in downloaded file” else for theme in “$THEMES”

btw it works just fine on firefox 3.5 too! Ty!! :D
