I just installed netrunner and am so far quite pleased with the distro. However, I was trying to install a new theme and noticed that the theme manager didn’t exist: Right click on desktop -\> Desktop Settings (or Appearance Settings, depending on which version you use) -\> New Theme… -\> (Choose a theme) -\> Install.

Any ideas?

Thanks

You can find various desktop theming options in systemsettings - Desktop appearance

You’re talking about plasma-themes? What about copying the theme to '/usr/share/kde4/apps/desktopthemes" and configure it with the systemsettings(-gui) after that?  
Hope that helps…

Thanks! Had to be the one option I didn’t click.
