Hi, DragonKith!

First, find and download one of the nice themes here:
http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/

Make sure the theme supports your SMF version!!

Then, simply go to:
Admin > Themes and Layout
There you'll find "Install a New Theme".
Hit "Browse", find the fiel you just downloaded, and hit "save".

Then, go back to
Admin > Themes and Layout
You'll se two selectboxes. Choose the newly installed theme in both of them.

Is this issue resolved?

No need to go into any file. If you followed the instructions posted by Nascar, it should be installed successfully. Then all you have to do is go to Admin > Themes and Layout and change the theme there (either for everyone or just overall for all new members).
