I've read plenty of forums and watched many videos, and yet none have worked. I just want to install Libra Dark theme on my computer (I'm new to Ubuntu), so please help me guys.

    @markkirby that is kind of a lame accepted answer though because it uses ubuntu tweak tool. I included an answer that uses gnome-tweak-tool and/or unity-tweak-tool – mchid Oct 04 '15 at 09:43

Instruction on how you can install "external themes" in Ubuntu GNOME:

Download the theme and extract it to the /home/$USER/.themes folder.
If you haven't created this folder before, open the Nautilus file manager.
Press Ctrl + H, click File from menu, select New Folder, name it .themes.

Install GNOME Tweak Tool - open a terminal and execute: 

sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool

Open the tool and change the theme.

  • Thanks man it worked! I try doing the same with other themes (I extracted it to the .themes folder but nothing happened. Is there something wrong with what I did? – super64ds Oct 06 '15 at 10:22
  • @super64ds : Thanks for your feedback. I am glad that you achieved what you wanted - some themes are not compatible (GTK version) ... enjoy ubuntu experience ! :) – cl-netbox Oct 06 '15 at 12:10
