Is there a basic theme package I can download that has some emerald themes in it? Rather than downloading individual ones?

Well, theres many of them,

Try looking on "gnome-look.org"

Yeah I know about them. I just wondered if there was a package or something available with a collection of them.

If you have git-core installed, then pasting this commmand in to a terminal should create a folder full of emerald themes...
git clone git://anongit.opencompositing.org/fusion/decorators/emerald-themes

git-core is briefly described here (http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/git-core). Git is most often used as a way to manage and download the very latest version of a software package.

Thanks. One question is there a way to add the themes all together? Rather than adding them individually.

There's not a straightforward way. The emerald themes are all just archives that have a .emerald extension. When adding one through the emerald theme manager it is extracted in to its own folder in /home/ben/.emerald/themes (i think). There will be a way to write a script to take many themes and extract them in to individual folders, but i don't know if such a script already exists.
