You mean .tar.zip ? Then you would need an extra application to unzip it directly on the device, isn't that correct?

-z
This option tells `tar' to read or write archives through `gzip',
allowing `tar' to directly operate on several kinds of compressed
archives transparently.
tar -czvf archive.tar.gz file
Then to extract it:
tar -xzvf archive.tar.gz

- New wallpaper
- Red progress bars
Installation
1) To install you need to transfer the downloaded tar achieve to your N900(MyDocs or Documents, wherever you wish)
2) Open xterm and type(you need root for this):
3) Close xterm, go to Desktop -> Desktop Menu -> Themes to change theme.Code:sudo gainroot tar -xvf MyDocs/redalert.tar mv /home/user/redalert /usr/share/themes
If the theme doesn't look as it should it is suggested to reboot your phone after the installation.
Preview:

For example to create a compressed file:
tar -czvf archive.tar.gz file
Then to extract it:
tar -xzvf archive.tar.gz

NOTE: If you follow the tar -xvf MyDocs/redalert.tar command your file should be saved on MyDocs folder.
Where did you save the file?

tar.gz is definately better, and what I normally use. Don't know what I was thinking :-P
Anyways, if anyone still is having problems, here are the steps I used to install It assumes you have installed rootsh from the app manager and enabled Extras, nothing else.
Open Xterminal and execute the following:
Note that everything from "wget -c ..." to tar.gz" on the next line is actually ONE line. The forum auto-wrapped the text.
The above commands
1) gain root privileges
2) installs wget
3) downloads the red alert theme, allowing you to continue if the connection gets interrupted
4) extract and decompress the red alert theme
5) move (install) the red alert theme to the correct location
6) exit root, returning as normal user
Remember, don't run commands unless you know what they are doing. BTW, if you decide you don't want wget or the left over files, do the following:
[code]
sudo gainroot
apt-get remove --purge wget
rm -r redalert
exit
[code]
Commands should be self explanatory, but feel free to ask if you have questions

I removed the link in order to fix the theme, seems like it's not working properly after update.
Will keep you posted.
