Most themes come in a .tar and you simple drop them in the theme
manager. I really don't see why that's hard. In Windows you have to hack
files to get it to use 3rd party themes and tons of people figure it
out. The same people with the drive to them windows are smart enough to
figure it out on linux. Your grandma doesn't change themes.
