I edited one of the existing themes in 'Appearance Preferences' and saved it with an arbitrary name of my choosing. I would like to replace the default theme in /usr/share/themes/Default but my custom theme with the name that I chose is not located in the /themes folder. I also checked ~/.gnome2 & /.gnome2_private and did a search for the name I gave theme to find its folder but none of these turned up anything. So where is the default location for customized themes? I looked on Google but it only returns results for the location of custom themes (such as those from gnome-look.org) Any help would be appreciated.

Since the release of Intrepid ibex (Ubuntu 8.10), the ~/.fonts folder is not there by default. It has to be manually created. 2. After putting the font file into the ~/.fonts folder, the command '$ fc-cache -fv ~/.fonts' should be issued so that the system detects the fonts in this folder.
