Magento Tutorial - Change default theme

You can download a new theme from the official Magento web site. So far there is one available Magento theme and its announcement is published at:

http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/568/

Once you download the theme, please uncompress it and upload the theme and the Skin folders of the Magento installation through FTP under the corresponding locations:

your_magento_folder/app/design/frontend/default/

and

your_magento_folder/skin/frontend/default/

Then rename the two folders to match.

In this example we will install the Tealo theme. The folders are called tealo-theme and tealo-skin. We have uploaded them to the respective locations and renamed both of them to tealo.

Since the script installation was performed in the public_html/magento folder, the corresponding locations are:

public_html/magento/app/design/frontend/default/tealo/

and

public_html/magento/skin/frontend/default/tealo/

Once the folders are uploaded, navigate to your Magento admin area -> System -> Configuration -> Design. Click on the Themes option and enter the theme name in the Default, Layout, Templates and Skin fields.

Click on the [Save] button and your new Magento theme will be installed.
