How to Install SMPlayer Themes and Skins in Fedora 20

It's been long since I posted on this blog. I am back with a useful post. People who use Fedora Linux (current release 20) are aware of SMPlayer. SMPlayer is a useful media player based on MPlayer. In Fedora 20, you can install the SMPlayer via yum but it is not possible to do the same for accompanying themes and skins. This might be an annoyance for the novice users or those who have recently switched to Fedora Linux. I have written a small Bash script to automatically install the SMPlayer accompanying themes and skins. You can download the script Here. Just open a terminal window, make the script executable and run it with administrative privileges. Alternatively, just copy the below commands to your terminal window and hit Enter on the keyboard.
chmod +x smthemesskins.sh; sudo ./smthemesskins.sh
Hopefully, the script works for you. Please share your thoughts on the script. Any improvements/comments/suggestions/errors will be welcomed.
