Are Theme Manager and WinStyles the same thing?
Thursday, February 19, 2004 by joetheblow | Discussion: Stardock Software
I thought Theme Manager was the replacement for WinStyles but I wanted to use a suite (Unlighted) and Theme Manager did not reconize it.
Did I do something wrong?

~ Yes, they are basically the same thing. Winstyles will be fazing out and Theme Mangager will be taking over.

I just noticed that WinStyles and Theme Manager have the same version number.
Yet strangly a theme did not open under the installed program... I did it from the Theme manager window. I guess that theme needs to be downloaded from IE instead of TM

Your proxy and/or firewall settings may be limiting your ability to download the parts of a theme that are not already installed on your computer through Theme Manager

i had theme manager installed, as well as winstyles. went to SDCentral the other day, and it showed as if i never installed it. i re-installed, but it didn't recognize my old suites, and winstyles would no longer work. i went to my object dock folder, went to winsyles folder, then to themes. i copied all the suitws to the themes folder in theme manager. voila, i have them all back.
