Once you have found and downloaded a skin that you like, extract it to a new folder. This folder should now contain AT LEAST one .JPG or .GIF file (wallpaper), one .SKI file, and several .DAT files. To explain what those files are:
.SKI File: This file is basically the "skin map". It contains all of the skin information such as font colors, object references, and object positions.
.DAT Files: These files contain all of the images that make up the skin excluding the wallpaper.
Installing:
1. Connect the phone to the cable and open Skinmanager: It should auto connect and will say reading files as pictured:
