DAP = digital audio player

In colloquial speak, that would be your MP3 player.

treewaister:
And how exactly do you extract it to the root of my mp3? And what do you mean by the root?
-Sorry for all these questions, I'm new to Rockbox

Strife89:
First of all, save the theme to where you want it to. It's currently what's called a .zip file - a bunch of files put into one file and made smaller. For the following example, I will assume you use Windows. Save the .zip file anywhere you want - for example, the Desktop. Open your MP3 player by going to My Computer and double-clicking on whatever drive is your MP3 player. You are now in what's called the root - the base of the drive's folder structure. Leaving the window open, drag the .zip file to your MP3 player with the right mouse button. When you release, a menu will appear. Click on "Extract Here". If you are warned about the possibility of overwriting files, tell it to keep going.

Voila! :) The theme is installed.

treewaister:
Do i have to put it in the .rockbox file after i extract it or i just leave it in the drive the mp3 player is?

Strife89:
That reminds me! :-[ I forgot to mention....
The answer to your question is the first option - kind of. Do the following to finish things up:

I assume you've at least done everything I said so far. There should now be a folder on your MP3 player with the same name as the .zip file. Go into that folder. You should see a folder called .rockbox. Right-click on it and choose Cut. Hit the Back button near the top of the window, right-click on an empty white space, and choose Paste.

Windows should warn you that there is a folder "conflict", and asks if you "still want to move or copy the folder". Say Yes to All. No files will actually be overwritten or deleted. The theme should now be properly installed. :)
