Until the Nivo Slider WordPress Plugin includes a “Theme Chooser”, if you wish to use themes with your slider you will have to do a bit of coding to make them work. However the changes you have to make are very simple. First of all read the Using Themes documentation. As you see you will need to include an extra div around your sliders with a class for your theme:

<div class="slider-wrapper theme-default">
    [nivoslider id="32"]
</div>

Then you need to include the theme CSS file in your header somehwere:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="path/to/themes/default/default.css"
    type="text/css" media="screen" />

Then you can then customize the theme as you wish using your style.css file or by editing the theme.css file. And that’s it. Amazing looking themes on your WordPress sites.
