I want to get Emerald Theme Manager to work in Ubuntu 11.10 and activate its themes. Also, I want to be able to switch between Emerald themes and the originally installed (Metacity) themes. How do I do it?

Another solution is to install emerald version 0.9.5 via PPA :
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install emerald
After installation, press Alt+F2 and type emerald --replace.
And if u want to get back to gtk themes press Alt+F2 and type gtk-window-decorator --replace.

Since emerald is not in the Ubuntu repos in 11.10, this thread has a workaround to install emerald. To use emerald, press Alt+F2 then type emerald --replace. If you're going to stick with emerald, add the command to your startup applications. To go back to Metacity, type this: gtk-window-decorator --replace.

It is not in the repository by default, so it gave me (Unable to locate package emerald) – Black Block Nov 16 '11 at 19:43
