Theme Manager update
Tuesday, May 18, 2010 by Philly0381 | Discussion: Object Desktop
Was just wondering when Theme Manager might be getting an update.
I identified a problem last week that the search function was not working, when you try to get a download url for a skin to include in the Suite file it comes back with nothing. Problably has to do with the new WC site.
There have been several forum threads about the Suite function not working correctly with all OS.
The list of skins that can be included in the Suite file needs to be updated as it doesn't match the WC Gallery Library.
When you try to add an Icon Packager it finds it but comes back with an error.
Theme Manager is a nice program giving the user a one step way to install suites, like a free My Colors, but it does need some updating.
Are there any plans in the near future for updating?

Windows7 shows that "theming" is still alive and well,illustrated by all the themepacks available. TM,if updated and in fully functional glory could blow themepacks out of the water,imho.
We can only hope,Philly.

It was working for me untill the new WC site was released all thought the bugs or problems that I identified above have been there for some time.

but, theme manager itself doesn't work, so why bother?

Theme Manager does work, not al that well and seems to react differently to what OS you are on.

lol, ok, how about works as intended? it hasn't worked in years properly, making it almost useless

It would be nice to see Theme Manager get a major update, makes sense to me as it would be nice to be able to just hit one 'Apply' button and have a whole Theme/Suite show up on your desktop.

I agree 100%. TM needs a major overhaul to actually work with all SD/ODNT apps, including OD2.0 and DX4.0(when finished) and maybe even be able to load a Fences snapshot. Theme Manager would add much value to all the ODNT apps if it consistently worked with them.
My 2 cents.

Maybe now that Elementals is out, the Customization apps will get the promised attention.

Keep it up, Philly. Theme Manager is a great idea, and somebody needs to keep kicking at it so that it will get fixed. I miss using it.
