Instead, to use a new desktop theme, you need to store new themes in a special folder inside of your home folder.

Using Thunar, navigate to the folder where you downloaded your theme archive. Using your mouse, double-click on the archive that contains your new theme. This will launch the file-roller application.

After completing these steps, your newly installed theme should be available to select in the User Interface Settings utility. + + + + + + Changing Icon Themes + + Similar to installing and using desktop themes, new icon themes need to be extracted and placed into a special folder for them to be used in Xubuntu. + +The folder that you can use to store you icon themes should be called ".icons" and should be placed in your home folder.
