yeah i've tried that already, and i can change it to one of the three themes there. which arn't what i really want, i downloaded a theme from the theme library and uploaded the .tar file and it installed but i think maybe the file path is wrong? cause the theme didn't display the way it looked in the picture. on my site where would the themes folder usually be? and is there any way to point XOOPS to a different folder?

eg. is the themes folder located at http://www.mysite/mysiteFTP/themes? or where? i dunno...

please help me i can't figure out how to change the themes in XOOPS admin :(. this has probably been asked a million times but i got a lot of complicated sounding stuff when i searched for it. all i want to do is change the appearance of my website. thank you.
