issue with downloading themes

Help
1

i am trying to download a theme (the “Vortex Ubuntu” by Emanuele specifically) and it gave me this when trying to downloading it

An error occurred during the installation process:

The installation failed with code 255 while attempting to run the command:

kplymouththemeinstaller -i /home/memelord/.local/share/kplymouththemeinstaller/vortex-ubuntu.zip

The returned output was:

Warning from helper: Postinstallation: uncompress the file

“Unable to authenticate/execute the action: 9, Theme corrupted: .plymouth file not found inside theme.”

is there anything i can do or is the theme just broken

Is the error correct ?

Is there a .plymouth in the zip ?
That is a file with the plymouth extension.

How old is this theme ?

Not really old, but I’d suggest the place to take it up would be here:

The theme is not formatted to be compatible with kplymouththemeinstaller.

As you can see the vortex-ubuntu-plymouth-theme/vortex-ubuntu/vortex-ubuntu.plymouth at main · emanuele-scarsella/vortex-ubuntu-plymouth-theme · GitHub file is not at the root of the theme as expected by kplymouththemeinstaller.

It relies on an install script, but that’s a terrible pattern don’t rely on scripts found randomly on the internet without some review and/or trusting the author.
