I have looked up several tutorials online, they all have one thing that I don't have on my screen a menu that brings them through "System > Preferences > Appearance." I also can't find my .themes folder, unless I am in GNOME 3 but I am not allowed to add anything to it. It tells me i am not the owner even though I am set up as admin.

Can anyone recommend anything?

  1. Download a Theme
  2. Extract the theme
  3. Move the Theme folder to home/.themes/ (Make sure the folder structure is correct; inside the theme folder there should be a gtk3.0, metacity,gtk2 and possibly a gnome-shell folders) if you don't have the hidden folder ( .) makes a hidden folder create it, to make it show up press CTRL+H.
  4. Select it with Gnome Tweak Tool, Install it if you don't have it.
