You can get mad KDE themes from www.kde-look.org. On the left navigation bar, click on your version of KDE. Then click on a theme, and select "download". From there it will be different for each theme:

## If the package is in .tar.gz format, download it to a folder and run

tar xzvf <filename.tar.gz>

This will extract a bunch of files from the archive. The installation may be different for each theme, but it will probably be described in a README or INSTALL file in the directory to which the files were extracted. It'll most likely be something to the effect of typing

configure
make
make install

configure lets you set options for the installation, make compiles the software necessary for the installation, and make install installs the theme. This is not necessarily the way it will work, so read the README file first!.

## If the package is in .tar.bz2 format, do the same as above, except use the command

tar xjvf <filename.tar.bz2>

instead of the other tar command.

## If the package is an rpm, then you've got it made. Just type

rpm -i <filename.rpm>

I hope this works out for you. Don't be afraid to post further questions, but remember: Google is your friend! There are tons and tons of web pages about Linux that can teach you stuff like this without having to wait for someone to post.
