Instead of installing a theme directly as above you might have a tarball of a theme locally that you want to install. Clicking on this button will open a file dialog and you choose the tarball of the theme you want to install. The installer then unpacks the theme locally and makes it immediately available in the themes list.

Removing a theme means removing the theme files from your disk. A message box warns you before doing anything and indicates to you what it will remove. Clicking on <guibutton>Delete</guibutton> in this message box will remove the splash screen theme from your disk. Clicking <guibutton>Cancel</guibutton> will abort the remove action. If you choose <guibutton>Delete</guibutton>, the theme is then no longer available in the list.

<varlistentry><term><guilabel>Test Theme</guilabel></term>
<listitem>
<para>
This shows you the theme and the associated icons as they will be displayed as splash screen when &kde; starts. Clicking on the splash screen hides it.
