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.

Re: [Theme] Red Alert
 
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 ;)

Re: [Theme] Red Alert
 
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.

Re: [Theme] Red Alert
 
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.
