Enlightenment themes and GNOME themes are two different things and aren't
necessarily compatible. It also depends on what versions of E and GNOME you're
using, there was a point in time where GNOME could manage E themes, but those
days are long gone. If you want info on installing Enlightenment themes look at
http://www.enlightenment.org, for info on GNOME themes try http://www.gnome.org.
I think e.themes.org also has some tutorials, but I've never looked at them.
