There are no themes for RH-8 per se. Themes at themes.org are for different WMs. You need to be specific about which one you download. There is no generic instructions available for theme installation, and for each WM, it will vary. The documentation at themes.org clearly state that it is up to your experimentation as to how you can put them to use. Recently, I installed icewm. Went and downloaded a theme called deepsaturated (for icewm). I untarred it under my home direct- ory (tar -xzvf deepsaturated-bla.bla.tar.gz), and to my sur- prise it had only one directory called moja with several xpm files and other such stuff. I checked on my box that themes for icewm, were located at /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/icewm/themes. All I did was to copy the whole directory (under root privileges) there. Yes, moja did come up in the themes link under icewm, and now I am using it for the last few days. This is just to exemplify the philosophy of experimentation. For other WMs the method would be similar, but paths would vary. It is important that you download a theme specifically built for your WM.
