[SOLVED] gtk3 mate themes appearing as question marks

today I tried to build a package of themes.  did not work so well.  the question is: why are all themes appearing as question marks inside mate-appearance-properties, and how do I fix this?

more info:

first thing was I put ambiance blackout flat (ravefinity) into "~/.themes/".  next I made the package from that same theme (altered the PKGBUILD from ambiance-radiance-suite on the AUR), and installed the package.  then I made a mistake, apparently, and deleted the "~/.themes" folder.  that's when the themes in mate-appearance-properties didn't disappear, they just turned into question marks.  I assume they didn't disappear because I had installed the package, but they remain question marks after restarting and whatnot.  I'm probably missing something obvious...

things that didn't help were reinstalling all mate-gtk3 and mate-extra-gtk3 packages; putting the themes into "~/.themes/" again, with or without uninstalling the package.  the package has been uninstalled, but the odd thing about uninstalling it is pacman couldn't find the package to uninstall at first.  had to reinstall it, then uninstall it.
