 2.3.3: Installing Themes
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Depending on if the theme is packaged in a SMZip or not, you have a few options.
 
+If it is in a .smzip, you can put it in the Packages directory:
+StepMania/
+ Packages/
+  MyTheme.smzip
+and StepMania will automatically read it.
+On Windows, you can double click on the .smzip file to install it in your user
+packages directory. THIS IS NOT RECOMMENDED BECAUSE IT CAUSES CONFUSION.
+
+Since .smzip files are really .zip files, you could also extract them in the
+StepMania root folder.
+
+If the themer has not packaged the theme in a .smzip, then you have to look
+inside the archive to see how the directory layout looks.
+1) Themes folder
+   If it has a themes folder when you open it up, extract in the StepMania root
+   folder, like you would a .smzip file.
+2) Theme name as a folder
+   This one will have to be extracted in the Themes directory. You will get a
+   new folder with the files.
+3) A bunch of folders + metrics.ini
+   The themer was lazy; you're going to have to make a folder in the Themes
+   directory and extract the theme in there.
 
 When in doubt, read any documentation that comes with the theme for proper
 installation instructions.
