How to install:
Themes should be installed  in  ~/.themes directory. Sometime this directory won't be available, in that case create that directory by using following command.
# mkdir ~/.themes

There are few themes that are available in Fedora repository. To search and install them use the following command.
# yum search gtk3-theme

or

# yum search gnome-shell-theme
