looks like a good theme however the more time i spend on this the more like an idiot i feel because now i am trying to install the theme and it tells me that the file format is invalid. i have installed the GTK switcher and some openbox thing and i still cannot figure out how to install the theme ..... *feels like an idiot*

Sometimes you have to extract the files and install them manually into the .theme folder.

i tried that and i still could not locate them inside the theme page of the appearance thing. do i have to manually place the files in that folder and then log off and log back on before they will take effect.

Some don't appear in the theme page itself either. Some only actually appear in under the Customize section and than as parts of the separate tabs as well there. i.e. Controls, Colours, Window Borders, Icons, Pointer....
