How to Install Themes in Google Talk.
1. Download the Zip file for each theme.
2. Navigate to the folder mentioned below.
-
- In case you are using Windows XP – C:Documents and Settings<PROFILE NAME>Local SettingsApplication DataGoogleGoogle Talkthemessystemchat
- In case you are using Vista or Windows 7- C:Users<PROFILE NAME>AppDataLocalGoogleGoogle Talkthemessystemchat
Sometimes the folder themes might not be available in your Google Talk folder if you are using the default themes, so you will need to create these folders (themes, system and chat folders).
3. Unzip the contents of the theme file to chat folder mentioned above.
4. Open Google talk Settings and navigate to Appearance tab and select the theme from the list.
Hope you liked these themes, please do share them with your friends.

Number 8 isn’t a theme at all. It just links to someone’s Deviant Art page where they have a PSD file posted of the render they made. Might want to remove from the list or link directly to the theme if you actually find it.
