I don't know anything about phpbb, only xmb. But um well I came across this and I thought it might help. Plus you can look around that page till someone comes around and helps you.

In that link toya gave you, it says right in Documentation how to install themes. I didn't have a problem myself when I started one:
1. download the style(s) of your choice from the styles download page 2. unpack the zip(s) and place the files in their own directory in the /templates/ directory inside your phpBB2 directory. if your server is online somewhere, then you'll first need to unpack to a directory, then upload it to your server (Make sure that the folder has exactly the same name (case sensitive) as the cfg and css file. courtesy of black fluffy lion) 3. go to your administration control panel 4. under "styles admin", click on the link "add" 5. you will find a list of styles that are present in the templates/ directory but that haven't been installed to your forum. behind every style, you see an "install" link. click on that link to install the style. 6. if you've done this for all the styles that you wanted to install, then have fun! they're now available to your users, or to you to set as the default style in general admin => configuration |

Once you're in the administration panel look on the left side and you'll see the title, general admin. The second link underneath that is Configuration.
 Click on that and you should be on a page that looks like this, with the words General Configuration at the top.  Under the first section on that page is where you can choose the default style.
