Windows 8 does not allow installation of any third party themes. Actually you don’t need third party theme. There are too many available from Microsoft site itself. Just select more themes and the page will open and take you to a world full of themes themes and more themes.
But if you really really like some theme which is mode by someone. First of all please check its not full of virus or trozen (a real threat).
Now download Ultra UXThemePatcher. It’s a freeware tool. Get is from here.
The files to be patched by the app include uxtheme.dll, themeui.dll and uxinit.dll. The app will automatically detect the version of Windows and do the necessary patching.
The original files will be backed up, for any restoration you need at a later stage.
Once patching is complete, custom themes can be installed.
Copy the custom themes to the folder C:\Windows\Resources\Themes, where C is the drive where you have installed Windows 8. And it will be visible along with other themes.
