 * I have not been able to find an explanation of how to get a theme of my choice
   to work with the bbPress plugin. I am fairly sure it is possible, a number of
   articles about installing bbPress mentioned it.
 * It seems like most people opt to instead install bbPress (not through WordPress)
   and then pick a theme made for it but frankly those themes are ugly by comparison
   to what is available for WordPress.
 * Does anyone know of where to find an explanation for how to change an arbitrary
   WordPress theme so that it works with bbPress? I’m a reasonably capable developer
   by the way, I assumed some amount of coding might be necessary but I don’t know
   where.

 * I just realized I might need to clarify, I have WordPress installed and am using
   the bbPress plugin. What I would like is to change a WordPress theme to work 
   with the bbPress plugin.

 * Apologizes, never mind, realized the theme I was trying was intended for bbPress.
   I tried a theme I had sitting around for WordPress and it seems to work.
