Themes don't appear in gnome-tweak-tool

I'd download a theme and I want to apply it, I'm using Linux Ubuntu 12.4 system. and every time I tried to extract it I found a massage said : You don't have the right permissions to extract archives in the folder "file:///usr/share/themes"

I'm so new in Linux, so what can I do ???

Extract to /home/username/.themes instead (you might need to press Ctrl+H in order to reveal hidden files - that is, any file or folder whose name starts with a period).

You are trying to extract the archive to a system folder, and you need root privileges to do so. However, the alternative folder I mentioned earlier will work as well, but it just limited to your user account. If you really want to extract to /usr, run your file archiver as root using sudo in a terminal:

gksu file-roller
