Description of problem: I just installed a cinnamon theme, but I can't select it. Cinnamon Version: 1.6.7 Theme: http://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/themes/view/104 Dirs where I unzipped it: ~/.themes/ /usr/share/themes/
/usr/share/themes/ works ok here and ~/.themes doesn't work.

In the archive there is a folder called "Open_me", and it's its contents which must be placed directly in "~./themes", so that it's "~./themes/Dark_Void" instead of "~./themes/Open_me/Dark_Void". The general structure has to be "~/.themes/Foo/cinnamon" with "cinnamon" containing a file called "cinnamon.css". Same applies to "usr/share/themes".
the same of David H. problem.
