Theme fixed, re-download from first post and let me know if it works correctly this time.
I already doctored it - copied some images from the reflect theme in the repos that I didn't like (the close icon, etc.), made a quick tile-able wallpaper in gimp (the sinus plugin is great), and fixed the config files. Really is a slick UI.

Happens when compressing files on Mac.
That folder isn't needed.

I didn't actually make these themes. I just edited them. This was made by Mwmo(see first post) and Matrix by ThemeMaker.

Here's a guide by a maemo member on SSH:

1- go to the repository menu of N900
2- Install OpenSSH server on N900
3- ssh on installation will ask you for a password (choose one)
4- go to your main PC and download a free ssh client with a graphic interface (it's much easier to use for a newbie) like winscp(windows)/cyberduck(mac).
5- in your N900 launch xterminal and type: sudo gainroot
6- in x terminal type then: ifconfig
7- ifconfig will show your ip address (of course you MUST be connected to a wireless lan with your N900 )
8- open winscp and login to this ip address.
login:root password: your passord

From then you can send the theme folder to usr/share/themes

Any way you can upload the theme as tar archive? That way, you wouldn't need ssh, and you could just install the theme directly from the device. Something like:
Code:
~ $ wget -c http://download573.mediafire.com/ndpm0i3xeydg/ktmgwzyqzn2/red_alert.tar
~ $ tar -xvf red_alert.tar
~ $ sudo gainroot
/home/user/ # mv red_alert /usr/share/themes
Of course, a deb would do that as well.

Random question: Being technically just another distro, are themes installed in ~/.themes not recognized?

Well if you know what you are doing you aren't in trouble.
You are just transferring files. I suggest you to wait until I make a .tar version as aspidites said.

I don't get that blue menu icon. Theres quite a few things that I would like to see improved on this theme. Anyway, it's still one of the best themes available so far. Good job.
