Today I downloaded and installed openSUSE 13.1 with GNOME shell 3.10.1. Installation went very well, so I started to customize my desktop. I found interesting user themes at https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/19/user-themes/ I switched the button to install the themes and I confirmed the download and installation.
When I look in the Tweak tool at the page ‘Extensions’, I see that the user themes are available, but nothing has changed on my desktop and I can’t find any possibility in the Tweak tool to choose a theme, or to change something.
Can anyone help me how I can choose a user theme so I can customize my desktop?

You might need to restart gnome-shell. Press Alt+F2 and run “r” (that’s
a shortcut to reload gnome-shell).

Hi
You have to install a theme via the tweak tool -> appearance (left
side with folder icon and must also be a zip file), then select the
theme right side drop down. Just installing the theme extension just enables the feature.

That extension should enable you to Turn ON/OFF the themes already
present on your machine
The theme packs are “tar” files which you need download and extract and
put the contents into the folder /home/<usernames>/.themes. If the
…themes folder doesn’t exist then create one.
