Depending on what Themes you want to change. Moonshell can have a theme put on it as well.

R4- In the system folder there will be a folder called theme. In that folder there should be 12 folders called theme 01-12. Open one of those folders and delete what is in it. Then put the new theme stuff in there. On some of the R4 versions I know will only read a theme if it is one of these folders.

In the moonshell folder there is a similar break down of folders that says theme or background that you can change. I don't use moonshell as its too much trouble to convert music when I can just use my Ipod instead.

The M3/R4 can hold up to 12 themes, to cycle through them press select, the image files should go under
_System_\THEMES\THEMEXX
The "XX" being 01-12.
The image file names:

Logo.bmp: Top screen image when the M3/R4 is turned on.
Icons.bmp: The bottom screen containing the "Games" "Multimedia" "Slot-2".
Bckgrd_1.bmp: The top screen during ROM selection.
Bckgrd_2.bmp: The bottom screen during ROM selection.
This is from a different post that explains how to do the background.

You gotta take your Micro Card and place it into you computer, then explore the folder as mentioned above. You can also see this on your R4 if you click into the games folder, then hit the "select" button to change what the top screen veiws. You will see the contents of the card. There should be a folder named "THEME".
The older versions of the R4 didn't have the ability to change themes.

If you hit "select" on the main menu, can you cycle through themes? If you can't then you need to update your R4. They are up to version 1.11, so 1.05 is old.

You can just replace the old stuff with the new stuff..

If you feel uncomfortable you can just back up your .sav and .nds files and then flash your card and put the new stuff on with yor old .sav and .nds cards.
