Themes installed via gnome-themes are not available for selection

[Andreas Hasenack]

I installed several gnome-themes packages (list below), but none of them are available in system settings -> appearance -> themes

andreas@duo:~$ dpkg -l|grep gnome-themes
ii gnome-themes 2.32.1-0ubuntu1 official themes for the GNOME desktop
ii gnome-themes-extras 2.22.0-3 extra themes for the GNOME desktop
ii gnome-themes-more 0.9.0.deb0.8 various themes for the GNOME desktop
ii gnome-themes-selected 2.32.1-0ubuntu1 selected official themes for the GNOME 2 desktop
ii gnome-themes-standard 3.2.0-0ubuntu1 Standard gnome themes
ii gnome-themes-ubuntu 0.6.1

I switched to gnome standard desktop, out of unity, and they are still not listed.

Thank you for your bug report but that's not a bug, those are GNOME2 themes not GNOME3 ones, it's also a design decision to just let gnome-control-center list supported themes
