-When you install a theme there are a few things that you need to do:
+===== What is a GetSimple Theme? =====
+Themes are bundles of files which define the look and feel and functionalities of a website by providing the html, css and scripts for your site. These bundles normally contain at least:
+  - one template: template.php
+  - one css file for the design of your site
+  - one screenshot to visualize the theme in the theme-administration of GetSimple
+  - optional files:
+    * functions.php if your theme needs additional functionality
+    * Javascript files for special effects
+    * editor.css to define the css for the [[how_to:editor_configuration|WYSIWYG-Editor]]
+    * images etc.
-  - Unzip your theme if it came in a ZIP file.
+===== Where to get GetSimple Themes? =====

+Besides the two themes which come with the installation zip (//Innovation// and //Cardinal//) there are several hundred other themes available.
+Browse to the [[http://get-simple.info/extend/|GetSimple Plugin and Theme Repository]] (Extend repository). There you will find a list of the newest uploaded themes.
