IMPORTANT : Solidity engine (http://opendesktop.org/content/show.php/solidity+gtk3+engine?content=142331) is required (0.4.1 version) ! It works better on GTK 3.2
Running Cinnamon on ArchLinux, installed the soldity engine from AUR (0.4.1 version) and extracted the themes to ~/.themes, but none of them showed up. Made sure they're put there correctly, extracted so that the folder with index.theme inside is in the .themes folder, but all that shows up are the default solidity and soliditydark themes.
I'm not sure because I run LXDE so I make a symbolic link to change GTK3 theme. For example, with SoliditySummer :
ln -s /usr/share/themes/SoliditySummer/gtk-3.0 ~/.config/gtk-3.0
Does it work once you uncomment this line :
#GtkTheme=SoliditySummer
removing the "#" ->
GtkTheme=SoliditySummer
in the index.theme file?
Else, maybe you must follow the GTK 3.x wiki article : https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GTK%2B#GTK.2B_3.x to use Gnome Tweak Tool or to edit {XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/gtk-3.0/settings.ini manually.
PS : Solidity must be updated to work with GTK 3.4

That doesn't seem to make it show either, and Gnome-Tweak-Tool can't see any of them too. Guess I'll have to go manually for now.
Where did you download that GTK3 widget factory from? I've been looking everywhere for one, but all I can find is the one for GTK2.
It is "A Widget Factory" (https://github.com/valr/awf) Compile and install : - GTK2 : ./autogen.sh ./configure --prefix=/usr make sudo make install (or su -c 'make install') - GTK3 : ./autogen.sh ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-gtk3 make sudo make install (or su -c 'make install') Or: - Ubuntu package (http://ppa.launchpad.net/valere-monseur/valr/ubuntu/pool/main/a/awf/) - PPA (https://launchpad.net/~valere-monseur/+archive/valr) Running : - GTK2 : awf-gtk2 - GTK3 : awf-gtk3
