Yes, I'm a BIG newbie to Ubuntu, just got it today, friend helped me out a lot. Unfortunately he's not at home so I can't talk to him on AIM. So I'd really appreciate it if you guys would help me. I recently downloaded 50 icons from gnome-look.org as a package. Now, I need YOUR help to give me the advice I need to install these icons. ( Trying to make it sound as EPIC as possible :D )
File name : red_icons.tar.gz
Direct URL to the icons : http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=84396&forumpage=1
Just ask me if you need more info, and thanks in advance :)

Just extract the icons file to the hidden ".icon" folder located on your Home folder. Go to the home folder and press CTRL+H to show hidden files, and then open the .icon folder and place the icons there (the extracted files from your tar.gz compressed icons file).

This thread (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=3757) expands a little bit more on the subject. Hope this helps!
***edit. Just remember to vary the steps a little bit. For instance the correct place to go after you place the icons on your ".icons" folder is System, Preferences, Appearance, Customize, Icons.***

Some of the icons you can drag and drop into the appearance option, some you have to extract, looks like you'll have to extract those.
