Adding a new theme to Ubuntu

There are a number of themes included in Ubuntu but there are much better themes available from http://art.gnome.org.

To install one of these themes go to the site and click on Windows Border on the right hand side of the page in the Desktop Themes menu, choose the theme you want and click the theme title. This will take you to a page where you can download the theme.

Once the theme has been downloaded open the Theme Manager by going to System -> Preferences -> Theme, then open the folder in which you downloaded the theme to and click and drag the file icon onto the Theme Manager window, it will then install, click the install theme option and then after it installs, click the Apply Theme Now button and the theme will be applied.

Personally, I think the Ubuntu studio theme is way better. Especially with the beryl effects ;)
