- Double click to launch Shoreline, read and click 'Yes' on the warning that appears.

- Drag the "TintedGlassShelf MOD.zip" file and drop it onto the rectangular drop area in the top right corner of the Shoreline Window (where it says "Drop .Zip Here")
- The application will show a low quality preview of the components of the Theme file. In this case, the theme contains all 3 possible items, a "Dock Background", "App Indicators", and the "Separator".
- Please note that this is a low-quality preview, it will look better than this once it's been applied.
- Un-check any items that you do not wish to apply, or leave all 3 checked to apply the entire theme.
