Magento Theme Install
Here is a walk through of installing the “Telescope Magento” theme on a 1.3.3.0 Magento basic install.
First download the theme. (you can find it at the link above.)
When you open this file there is a quick PDF explaining some basics on how to install the theme. There are also two folders, one is app/ and the other is skin/ both of these could be copied into the root folder where Magento is living. (yep, there is an app/ and skin/ folders there already. But you should be able to just copy right over them.)
Now you will need to login to your admin page of your store.
Go to the System>Configuration menu.
Then click on design in the navigation on the left.
To change configuration to use the new theme, put the name of the the template folder in the Template, Skin and Layout folders. Place “default” into the Default blank. (you can find the name of the folder by browsing to the app/design/frontend/default/ folder.)
Be sure to click the “Save Config” button, and you are done. Now you can browse to the front page of your store and see your new theme.
The logo is located at “skin/frontend/default/Telescope_1.2/images/” starting at the Magento root directory.
(You might want to change the logo. You can find a logo.gif file at “skin/frontend/default/Telescope_1.2/images/” off of the magento root. Use it as a template to make a log file the same size and replace it.)
