Made the directory though wouldn't copy anything.
Came up saying something like omitting directory.

Guys,
This probably seems such a stupid question though I just can't get it correct, could someone please assist me.
I have installed a few themes and want to copy the themes to MyDocs so I can pick bits and pieces I like to make my own bastardised theme.
Example of what I was doing though didn't work.
sudo gainroot
mkdir MyDocs/THEME/ (THIS WORKED FINE)
cp /usr/share/themes/THEME/* MyDocs/THEME/
Then to paste back
cp MyDocs/THEME/* /usr/share/themes/THEME/
I am sorry I don't understand coding side at all, obvious i am sure, lol.
Stephen
Do like this
sudo cp /usr/share/themes/ /home/user/MyDocs/THEME
and
sudo cp /home/user/MyDocs/THEME /usr/share/themes/THEME

AlMedhi,
Yes mate the THEME was to represent the theme name.
I am trying to copy the complete theme and all it's sub folders to MyDocs with a direct replication of sub folders.
trying to follow your post, I created a folder in MyDocs/theme and did the following:
sudo cp /usr/share/themes/ /home/user/MyDocs/theme
looked as though worked as it returned the typical : /home/user/ #
When I looked, nothing.
Sorry to be a pain

AlMedhi,
All good. It worked, I thought you were copying all themes to a folder called theme in mydocs. Hence why i created a folder called theme.
When I did exactly as you did and replaced the theme with the theme name it worked perfectly, sorry.
Thanks, much appreciated.

Code:
cp -r /usr/share/themes/THEME/* /home/user/MyDocs/THEME/

AlMedhi,
Mate, I am dumb founded. I got it to work once and not again since, could you please check I am doing it correctly for me.
sudo cp /usr/share/themes/ /home/user/MyDocs/dthemenight-themedir
"dthemenight-themedir" being the theme name under /usr/share/themes/.
Do I need to create the folder first under MyDocs:
mkdir MyDocs/dthemenight-themedir ?

Thanks for the reply mate. I tried your suggestion also and didn't work. went through all the folders and replied back Operation not permitted & cannot create symlink. I am real sorry to be a pain guys and very appreciative of your help, I am seriously out of my depths here and no idea.
