First check if this theme is compatible with your XOOPS version! After that look in your themes folder.

xoops_root/themes/

In this folder were already the default themes located. Copy your downloaded theme into this folder.

Now you have to activate this theme

administration > system admin > preferences

If there were templates included in the package you have to upload them through the template manager.

administration > system admin > templates

and then surely activate the new templates in your preferences.

I would recommend using a good "FTP" application, which transfers your files to your server.

Smartftp is free for non-commercial use, and has some FTP instructions on their website http://www.smartftp.com

Cpanel can include Fantastico so you might end up with a couple other odd results if you used Fantastico to install it. If you used Fantastico, check and make sure you can change your site Slogan as well. I installed XOOPS with Fantastic once as a quick 3 button short cut and ended up removing it and doing it the FTP way because it messed up some database tables.
