How to Install Murrine for GTK+2:

Theme Engines Installation for Ubuntu:

Theme Engines installation for Arch Linux:

sudo pacman -S gtk-engines

*Note: The GTK+3 theme has been tested in Gnome version 3.10 environment on Ubuntu LTS 14.04 and version 3.22 on Arch Linux. Because of the nature of GTK theming prior to version 3.20, it is not guaranteed to render correctly in versions below 3.20.

To switch themes, you can use your desktop environment's theme switcher.

Enjoy!
