If you are thinking to add theme like Joomla or WordPress. YII is not like that. In your Application's there is a layout folder inside views. In layout there is main.php.

Main.php in Layouts

Add your Header, footer and top menu HTML code here. and inplace of content 

<?php echo $content; ?>

Links to the CSS / JS / Images should be like this.

<link href="<?php echo Yii::app()->request->baseUrl; ?>/css/styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

You need to add <?php echo Yii::app()->request->baseUrl; ?>/ for path.

View Files Inside View add the content you want in that page.

Controller: In your controller do like this

    public $layout='//layouts/main';

Hope this helps.
