Under the picture in the first link, is a download button. Click it and donwload the .zip . Open it, then open the folder and there should be a file called Royal_Five_Color_Mod.msstyles - Double click it, it will install it and open up the desktop properties. Out of the 3 drop down boxes, click the top one and select the Royal_Five_Color_Mod. Then in the 2nd drop down box, select the colour. Now click apply, and ok and your done!

Windows reads .zip's automatically. It opens it in a folder
