If you change the appareance of your GNOME desktop, Debian provides two packages : gnome-themes and gnome-themes-extras
To install them :

root@localhost:~# apt-get install gnome-themes gnome-themes-extras

To choose one of the available themes :

fool@localhost:~$ /usr/bin/gnome-appearance-properties &

Here is what you should have :

To install other GNOME themes, please visit : http://gnome-look.org/
On this website, you can find plenty of wallpapers, icons, GTK2.x Themes/Styles. If you want to have a new full GNOME theme, just choose GTK2.x Themes/Styles : http://gnome-look.org/?xcontentmode=100

To install some of them, download your new theme archive and then install it by clicking on the button “Install…” as shown in the picture above. The installation is automatic and the new theme is available right away.

Each time I launch a graphical application like gedit as a non-root user, I get this error :

(gedit:1376): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: “ubuntulooks”

To solve this problem, please install the following Debian package :

root@localhost:~# apt-get install gtk2-engines-ubuntulooks

Try to relaunch your graphical application :

foo@localhost:~$ gedit &

You will  not get the initial error message anymore.
