You can easily change the appearance of your SMF forum using the Theme Manager in the Admin area of your forum. There are many themes available for download from the SMF website as well as 3rd party sites. Just do a search using your favourite search engine to find a theme that suits your needs. First we need to install you new theme. After you have logged in, navigate to the Admin area. Select "Themes and Layout" from the "Configuration" section.

To install a new theme, browse for the file on your local computer and click Install. Once the theme has been installed you can select it from the drop-down list and click Save. You can also set options for allowing users to switch themes if you wish.
