Hi :)
I am going to try to stay with Unity on the VM install if i can.  It's not easy 
to work out how to do things except open Firefox and LibO.  

Ok, i installed 11.10 (on the VM) and opened "Appearances" but only get 4 
themes.
Ambience = dark
Radiance = nice orange, feels light and airy
high contrast = fairly unpleasant
high contrast inverse = also unpleasant

If i have success downloading and dropping the Xp-silver them i will get back 
to you.  
Regards from
Tom :)
