Some important information about installing the Manjaro settings packages: | |||
* The Manjaro settings packages contain the theming and settings to make the desktop the same as in the Manjaro ISOs | |||
* They have the naming convention manjaro-<desktop>-settings i.e. manjaro-xfce-settings | |||
* They share files so you can only have one at a time installed. | |||
* If you are coming from gnome you must remove the meta package '''manjaro-gnome-assets''' before you can install the settings package for another desktop | |||
