Make sure you don't untar them. The theme manager will do all that for
you. Otherwise I can't see what could be wrong. :)
In the case of Smooth9, you will have to extract manually or with file-roller and put the theme directories in .themes in your home directory. This is because the package contains more than one theme and the theme manager can't install themes packaged this way. Sorry, but with 40+ themes to keep track of I'm not going to make that 120+.

I see Smooth9 it is at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArtworkTeam/DapperThemes
but...
1. do people want the gradient version or the flat version?
2. japan? or gPerfect? gray?
3. someone put gperfection2 for icons but those are proprietary now aren't they?...., and while they should have replaced the default GNOME icons when they were gpl, or whatever they were, it is redundant to use them. Bad idea on all accounts.
4. Simplebox? Who added that? Smooth9 gradient and flat have metacity themes that perfectly match the gtk's. No reason to use something that doesn't fit.


Gentle
Who put Gentleman for a metacity? Bad on all counts...
1. is pixmap
2. color doesn't match
3. no maximized state
4. no borderless state


Tango-Metacity
1. very bad inactive color choice
2. flaws in maximized state
3. no borderless state


Candido-Selected
1. no maximized state


GlassCube
1. doesn't fit the gtk
2. poor graphics
3. pixmap
4. no maximized state
5. no borderless state


I still say something very plain, gray and simple should be added for the many that prefer such, but I will get to adding my submissions latter tonight or tomorrow

I'm also a bit confused. First, we had internal and external.
-------------------------------------------
Internal=clean out old gnome
external= ubuntu-art
------------------------------------------
How can these all be submitted and voted on in one page? Smooth9-whatever was to be internal but now it is listed with external. We need 2 different pages and 2 different votes, no?
