 ## GNOME Application Themes
 
-To change the themes applied to applications in GNOME, you will need to
-change the Applications dropdown in the Appearance section of Tweaks. To
-add more themes, you will have to find your preferred theme online and

 Steps to import themes into Tweaks:
 
-1.  Download the theme.
-2.  These files are usually compressed (.zip, .tar.gz, .tar.xz), so you
-    will need to extract the contents. This is easiest when opening the
-    file explorer, right-clicking the compressed file, and choosing
-    \"Extract here.\"
-3.  Move the theme folder to `/usr/share/themes/`. You can do
-    so with the following command:
-    `sudo mv theme-folder/ /usr/share/themes/`.
-    -   Icons and cursors will be moved to the
-        `/usr/share/icons/` folder.
-    -   Fonts will be moved to the `/usr/share/fonts/` folder
-        Alternatively, you can move them to the
-        `/usr/share/fonts/opentype/` or
-        `/usr/share/fonts/opentype/` folders, if you have a
-        specific font type.
-4.  Close tweaks if it is open. Re-open Tweaks and your new theme will
-    be available in the Applications dropdown in the Appearance section
-    of Tweaks.
-
-If the theme is not showing up after you\'ve moved it into the themes
-folder, you may have uncompressed the folder into a sub-folder. You can
-check this by entering the theme folder and listing the contents:

 ## Fonts
