i believe you don't have to untar them. go to desktop preferences, themes. then click install new theme. point it to the tar.gz file you want and click install. then restart gnome, and the new theme should be there in desktop preferences, themes. if it's not there, then click theme details and look at each of the three (i think?) tabs for the theme you just installed, cause sometimes it's only an icon theme, or only a window theme, etc. instead of a full theme.
