The themes need to be in the ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Resources/Themes
directory.

-------------------------------
mkdir -p ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Resources/Themes
cd ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Resources/Themes


Usually, all you need to do then is to unzip an XP theme into that
directory:

----------------------------------
unzip /d/dl/ClearLooks_2_2.zip

(yes, that's a WinXP version of the Gnome ClearLooks theme,
http://www.deviantart.com/download/18591720/ , which I use to make my Wine
apps blend in with the rest of Ubuntu).

Then the next time you run winecfg, the theme will be available in the
list.

The problem I see with the example you gave is that it does not create the
subdirectory in .../Themes for itself.  The themes have to be in
subdirectories under .../Themes, so you first have to "mkdir luna ; cd
luna", then you can unzip your lunae.zip file there.
