Found a fix for adding the theme selector in this thread ......

Step 1

Get these 2 debian files and install them using gdebi in a terminal ..... as you have to run as root and
answer yes to the question ......

C Bowman made the debs available here ......  from Fedora ....

Step 2
Then following on from the Musings thread - as I have added below ....... 
add these into the directory shown below .... allows a Theme selector to work .....


download these and put them in .....
http://fpmurphy.com/public/themeselector-0.8.tar.gz

Place the downloaded tarball in $HOME/.local/share/gnome-shell/ and
unpack it.

reboot and the Theme selector should now be available ....

Original thread ...... where the question was asked .....  about how to add the Theme selector .....

Musings Thread with the theme selector and all the information .......
http://blog.fpmurphy.com/2011/04/gnome-shell-theme-selector-preview.html

_____________

The two steps given above were  a solution on two of my systems .......
and solved the problem in the thread too.

 If the above steps can be incorporated now ...... into UGR it would be
good ......

I do 3D not programming so if someone else can pick this up - it would
be good  ..... thank you ....
