They're only window manager themes, so there is no Bright or Esco icon
or gtk+ theme-- that's why there is no Bright or Esco theme in the main
Theme Preferences window.  

If that doesn't matter, you could modify an existing theme to use Bright
or Esco for its window borders, and save the new theme under a different
name.  You could then select this new theme in the main window:

1. Launch->Preferences->Display->Theme.
2. Select a theme that's visually closest to the one you want to use
Bright/Esco with, e.g. Simple.
3. Select "Details..." to open the Details dialog, then the Window
Border tab.
4. Select Bright or Esco, then Close the dialog.
5. Click "Save Theme" in the Preferences window.
6. Choose a name for your new theme, and click Save.
7. Close the prefs dialog.

Cheeri,
Calum.
