It's actually pretty easy to do. These are the basic steps for flashing almost any mod on top of your current rom (of course, follow different instructions, if given):

1. Download theme/mod/whatever and put it on the root of your sdcard.
2. Make a nandroid backup of your current rom (in case something goes wrong).
3. While in the same recovery session from your backup or in a new one, wipe cache and dalvik cache, but don't wipe data (it's rarely needed for a mod or even a new kernel. Only wipe data if switching roms).
4. Once that is done, choose the option to flash a zip from the sdcard and choose the theme you put there. It should only take a few seconds. Once it's done, boot back into android, and you should have the theme. It looks like this one has a different boot animation, so you should notice right away.
