Didn't you say it's a gtk theme not emerald.
Open System > preferences > appearance and click on theme. Themes installed you just have to change themes.

No problem.The .deb file installed the theme.
If you download other themes in the form of a compressed file eg. tar.gz
just drag and drop in the appearance window to install.
Sometimes you will download a file which contains an emerald or metacity theme as well as a gtk theme
and you have to unpack this file first to get to the compressed gtk theme.
If you are running compiz, install fusion-icon.
It will make things clearer in regards to
window managers.........eg compiz, metacity
window decorators......eg gtk, emerald (different types of themes)

Don't suppose, now you seem to be done here (from what I've read) can you do what it says in my signature? Thanks :)
