To install:

# If your theme package contains one or more font files (.ttf) copy them to your C:\Windows\Fonts\ folder.
# You may also find .theme files (like axis.theme. Copy it/them to your C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\ folder. You will see a folder called Luna already in there, leave that alone, it is your existing Micro$oft XP Theme.
# Locate the .msstyles file, create a folder in the C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\"New folder",name it what the .msstyles file is named (like axis.msstyles so the folder would be axis).
# If you find a file called ShellStyle.dll, create a folder called Shell inside the first folder you created. Create another folder inside that called NormalColor. Copy ShellStyle.dll into the NormalColor folder.
# Most of the time you will unzip the file and everything will be properly ordered and only need to be copied to your C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\"created folder".
# Go to Display Properties if your theme had a .theme file select the Themes tab and select your theme from the list. If your theme only had a .msstyles file go to the Appearance tab and select your theme from the Windows and Buttons list.
