*www.gnome-look.org

Download a theme (.tar.gz format mostly). [Example Theme]
Go to System > Preferences > Appearance and drag-drop the file into it.
Upon successful message, press the Customize button in the same window and choose the installed theme from the list to apply.

C'mon, this one was too easy to figure out by self!
