System Settings. Themes are on the Appearance page. Did you try searching on Dash?

Unless you're proficient with the terminal, it's best to copy and paste the codes into the terminal. You have to understand and follow all of the instructions carefully and they can be pretty complicated if you're a new user.

Make sure the themes installed are GTK 3 compatible because GTK 2 themes wont work in 11.10 . You can find GTK 3 themes at the link . http://gnome-look.org/index.php?xcontentmode=167&PHPSESSID=aaaacdf089f6aeff7529f160178d4234
If you are using GTK 3 themes try logging out and in or restarting.
