Hi everybody,
I'm feeling quite dumb but I can't succeed in adding themes to gnome!!
Whitin the Theme tab under preferences I can see only 7 themes (Clearlooks, Crux, Glossy, High Contrast, High Contrast inverse, Aliante and Nebbia) while my /usr/share/themes folder looks like this:

ls /usr/share/themes/
AgingGorilla         G26                            Mist
Arch                 Glider                         Raleigh
Arch-Dark            Glossy                         Redmond
Atlanta              HighContrast                   Simple
Aurora               HighContrastInverse            Smooth-Funky-Monkey
Bright               HighContrastLargePrint         Smooth-Line
Clearlooks           HighContrastLargePrintInverse  Smooth-Okayish
ClearlooksClassic    Industrial                     Smooth-Sea-Ice
Crux                 Inverted                       Smooth-Tangerine-Dream
Default              LargePrint                     Smooth-Winter
Delightfully-Smooth  LowContrast                    ThinIce
Emacs                LowContrastLargePrint          Unified
Esco                 Metabox

I have installe gtk-murrine-engine e gtk-aurora-engine. Why all those themes are not listed?!

thanks

the 7 themes you are seeing are 7 pre-set 'complete themes', which means those are certain gtk, metacity, fonts etc combined.
When you choose any of those and press 'customize' or something like that (the button should be somewhere below) you would be presented with a window with separate tabs for gtk themes, metacity themes, colours, fonts and all. There you would be able to choose from all you have added to your themes directory.

thanks!

ps: still have a problem with smooth themes and gtk+ smooth engine, but I'll investigate it another time.
