First check which desktop you’re using: Cinnamon, MATE, or Xfce. Themes are made for particular desktops, so a Cinnamon theme might not work properly on the others.
On Cinnamon, open System Settings and look for Themes. That’s where you can change the window borders, controls, icons, and desktop style. MATE has similar appearance settings, though the menus may be different.

For a quick start, change the wallpaper separately from the theme. Right-click the desktop, open the background or wallpaper settings, and choose the picture you want. You can then work on the window and icon styles.

Check that it supports your desktop, then follow its installation instructions. Once it’s installed, look for its components in the theme settings.
