Usage Instructions
In order to use the above themes you will need to patch the Windows Themes sub-system. I recommend UxStyle by Rafael for patching the system files. If you are not comfortable with modifying core system files you can use AveStyler (it implements in-memory patch).
Most of the themes are available in ZIP or RAR archives. Extract the theme to C:WindowsResourcesThemes(where C: is the partition with Windows Seven). The .theme file should be reside in the Themes folder and not in a sub-folder.
Many themes contain additional files such as explorer.exe. You will need to replace the original explorer.exe file (present in C:Windows directory) with the modded file. There are a couple of ways to do this. Here is the simplest way to do it:

Arrow
Take ownership of the file.
Arrow
Rename it to explorer_bak.exe.
Arrow
Copy-paste the modded explorer.exe file.
Arrow
Kill explorer.exe using the Task Manager.
Arrow
Click on File->New Task(Run) and launch explorer.exe.

You can also use Replacer for replacing system files. Although it is no longer under active developement, it still works on most occasions.
