Been playing with themes and am trying out the grunge theme. FTP'd to my ow_theme folder and unpacked. Changed permissions to 755. It still isn't showing up in my admin area to choose.
I read the documentation for installing themes and read this:
Besure that constant DEV_MODE is disabled in ow_includes/config.php file;
I went to my ow_includes file but don't have a clue what to do. Help?!

Shelle - I've always found it best to unpack (unzip) the file to my desktop first then upload to my server.
It sounds like what's happening is:
- When the file is unpacked (unzipped) you get a folder called grunge/grunge/...filesyouneed
- upload only the grunge/...filesyouneed folder to your server.
Oxwall won't recognize the second grunge folder within the root grunge folder.
Hope I've simplified that for you.
As far as DEV_MODE, you don't need to enable that if you're just activating themes from admin.

LOL - You were absolutely right, Joe. Thank you so much!!
All of the themes I've uploaded so far worked just fine that way but this one didn't. Glad to know I wasn't crazy. :)
Thank you!!!!
