Install Theme File...

  Instead of installing a theme directly as above you might have a tarball of a theme locally that you want to install.

The installer then unpacks the theme locally and makes it immediately available in the themes list.

Clicking on Delete in this message box will remove the splash screen theme from your disk. Clicking Cancel will abort the remove action. If you choose Delete, the theme is then no longer available in the list.
