did anyone notice how it's not consistent?  i just noticed this, that i can apply a theme, and maybe a couple parts actually get applied.  if i change themes, then apply it again, other parts apply, and maybe parts that worked last time, didn't apply this time.  it's very strange.

I can't get it to work at all. All themes were loaded but not from the star browser but from save as. But the themes / suites willnot load / apply and the parts of the themes do not download with Theme Manager !

steper when you open Theme Manager do you see those that you downloaded?

With Theme Manager open click on Settings, make sure the one box under General Setting is marked.  This should give you a drop down menu when you hit apply.  Select the skins you want to download and then select yes. 

Theme Manager will be getting an update sometime here in the near future.  When it does hopefully it will be able to download apply all the skins that are available in the WC Library.  Right now there are still some bugs.  That's why all the skins for the Theme and their links are listed in the the description of the Suite.

Hope this helps.

I think what steper means is the Suite can be downloaded as a whole. Click apply and the advanced window pops up and shows the list of skins in the Suite. The boxes are checked. Click Yes and nothing downloads or they are empty downloads I should say. The skins do not download. This has been a issue with me for about a month. Even Suites I have put together that have worked before, do not apply now.

I just purchased WindowBlinds 6.4. I just installed Theme Manager 3.09 and CursorFX 2.01. I can't get TM to apply the wallpaper or cursors of the theme I just created using "save my desktop". I need this to work or it's worthless. I don't care about any other themes but the ones I create. So, is this still broken?

SeymourBodies sorry that I didn't see this thread was still going before this.  I made a reply on another thread 'Using Suites', here is a link  https://forums.wincustomize.com/359618

I hope that provides some help.

Thanks philly. I really just wanna use theme manager to create my own themes using the "save my desktop" feature. I create one, but the wallpaper and cursors don't get applied. I can go the long way around and simply apply everything, but, that's the long way around. I was hoping to find a solution. It seems a few months ago everything was working fine. Except I was using older versions of everything. Btw, using WinXP Pro.

SeymourBodies Theme Manager was working fine when it was first released.  Somehow it has gotten borken, it may have been because of updates to the other probrams.  No promises but it seems there is an update in the works.  Not sure when it will get released.

OK, thanks. I just wanted to make sure there was nothing on my end. I should have never updated! The old stuff I had worked fine.

Is there still a problem? Has there been no update?

Yes, there has been an update.  I would check Impulse and see if it shows for you.  I show 3.95(b)012 (x86)

I am not the official TM person, Philly is more that than I, but I can say by my own experience that theme manager has not worked on Vista or 7, ever. I remember it working flawlessly on XP. Just saying...

Win7, latest WB, TM and IP (also running Fences)

 

I can verify that TM is still not applying the entire suite.  I tried to apply the Fire theme.  The wallpaper and icons were changed, but no WB and no Gadgets.

Re-applying the theme got me the WB, but no Gadgets.

Then, using TM to go back to the default Win7 was a nightmare.  Icons did not change, WB was stuck in between Win7 Classic and Fire.  Using the 'Personalize' option ended up completing the Win7 Classic theme, but I couldn't get the Aero theme back.

I got it all fixed, but TM is not working properly.
