    Open the KDE Control Center (kcontrol on command line)
    Click on Appearance & Themes
    Select Theme Manager
    Click Install New Theme
    Browse to the downloaded theme package
    Select it and click OK

    To use your new theme select the newly added theme from the list and click Apply

    I'm pretty sure it will work with that extension, too.

    Some themes have to be compiled from source.
    Code:
    $./configure --prefix=`kde-config --prefix`
    $make
    #make install
    You'll need to have qt and kdelibs development packages installed.
