Can't find any custom themes with Gnome Tweak tool

By Gabriel Cooper •

enter image description hereI have installed the gnome tweak tool in order to customize my Gnome. I have downloaded some themes and extracted the files from the tar.xz to ~/.themes and I also tried extracting them to /usr/share/themes. Both methods did not work and my Tweak tool only lists the preinstalled themes but not the ones I have downloaded.
I also tried using other themes but that also did not work same error.

Picture with the file directory
user themes being on

I assumed you downloaded theme from gnome-look.org

I try now this theme.

  1. download above zip archive then extract by unzip then mv to /usr/share/themes
  2. reopen Tweaks if you already launched.
