You must create a folder with the name of the theme (without spaces) and then place your VS files in there. They should show up then.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Everyone and their cousin's cat uses area o4, including me. It's sad that there are only a handful of decent VS.

As for the problem... have you tried creating a .theme file for the VS you want to use? The .theme file should reside in the 'Themes' folder and can be created simply by going into the Display applet of the Control Panel and saving the current theme.

EDIT:

area o4 = one of the best ever made, but im not currently using it. I have 44 Visual styles and they are all good. And by good i mean minimalistic, clean, attractive, and most importantly white or black.
You should seriously post a list of which ones you use. You should see some of the abominations people use.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Sweet, thanks. Some of those I've seen and even used before. I'm sure most of them are on DeviantArt, or Customize.org.

Also, continuing with the topic problem.. Do you have the Themes service running? And to be sure.. are themes enabled in the Performance section of the System applet?
