    you can also get Gnome themes by just running this single command on terminal,

    sudo apt-get install gnome-(theme name that you want to install)


    For Example:


    sudo apt-get install gnome-aquadreams-theme.



    Thanks

    Talal, this is FANTASTIC. I mean, although the themes that download are much bigger in size than those files you separately download from Gnome Art and Gnome Looks, etc. This is the perfect way of completely giving your system one thorough look without errors popping up when dragging and dropping on the PREFERENCES window.
    Now, I don't know if this is a very popular way of installing themes in Linux systems, but google did not show me this method anywhere else.
    Need to mention, on my Mint system, I had to do some searching around for adding the sources and the keys since they are different about the options provided in the PACKAGE MANAGER from Ubuntu. but that is sorted out.

    No offense, but it feels nice find some help, finally, from experts in neighboring Pakistan for some reason :)
    Thanks a lot.

    And Fark,
    Did you mean that addind the GNOME word in the command would not need any keys and sources to be added in the Terminal? I am a little confused about this technique now...
