Hey, all. So I'm attempting to install and use the Murrine engine on GNOME as per the suggestion of the Arch Beginners' Guide. After doing the following:
pacman -S gtk-engine-murrine murrine-themes-collection
and then going to System > Preferences > Appearance, what I see under the Theme tag is not what I was expecting. I basically only have the default themes (Clearlooks, Crux, HiContrast and the like).
I tried downloading the tarballs of a few themes I especially liked from the Murrine site, dragged the folders into the Appearance window, and was told that the themes had been installed. However, I can't select them from the list.
Is there something I'm forgetting to do?
I'm a total n00b to Murrine, and to configuring this sort of thing in general. If anyone could be so kind as to guide me through this, I'd be much obliged.

Yes, like I said, I've got both of those packages installed.

I don't use gnome but I think you are looking in the wrong place. I think you need to customise the current theme and select the appearance there. Those "themes" are just mixtures of gtk, metacity and xcursor configurations.

right, sorry I didn't see that
there should be a couple of murrine themes in the main page, e.g. black diamond and caramello, but yeah most of them fall under 'customize'

have u used gtkchtheme, lxappearance or another "theme-switcher" to apply the murrine themes?

Thanks, y'all. The answer was indeed hiding behind the "Customize" button; all the Murrine themes are in there.
