Is this a MyColors theme when installed or a separate app than MC/WB? Vista had issues with AlienGUIse. I think I'll stick with what I have for skinning my PC.The Invader and ALX Vortex media player skins for WMP11 are awesome though, and work well.

When I installed it on XP it just put the suite files in the theme folder for ThemeManager but I still had to dig into it and add each one manually to get them to show up.

Thanks for the 'heads up' Darken 
Truly wonderful packages. Love Xenomorph.
Slightly ironic to see TSF and Stardock Design names/logo's beside each other on the page

I love the icons, only thing thats missing from them are a Desktop Folder/Desktop icon & mp3 file icons (Vista). That aside I absolutely love the icons for this theme.

No edit again. 
Never mind,I read where it said XP only for MP skin. However,Invader on TSF's site works quite well(and is awesome) with WMP11 and Vista,if you want to fill out the suite.

So from now on, when making free iconpackages, do (12) or less "File Icons" and make them all the same.
OK. Got it. Thanks.....This will speed things up in the the future.

I think he was talking about AlienGUIse. My niece had to do a complete recovery to get it out of her Vista laptop.It was a real train wreck. She made no restore points or back-ups so she lost everything....kids!

Yeah but many file icons are left with the default which doesnt even match at all. They could at least have added mp3 file formats.
