I use virtualbox to use ubuntu (12.04). I want to customize the theme but I didn't find in the preferences how to that. So I webt to ubuntu-art, and I downloaded a .sh file (metacity theme), but how do I install this file ? is it a package ?

The .sh file is a shell script, in other words it's an executable. You can run it by either making it executable

chmod a+x file.sh

./file.sh

or running it with bash:

bash file.sh

P.S. I do not guarantee that the downloaded executable will not break your configuration, destroy your system, kill your cat and cause an apocalypse. Beware! MyUnity might be a better solution, although I have had problems with that one as well.
