Theme Manager problems?
Wednesday, March 3, 2004 by Chesley Gulick | Discussion: Stardock Software
Whenever I try to load a theme i get a message "The file format you have passed for WindowsBlinds is not valid". The same thing happens with object dock is it is included in the package. I have object desktop and get every update. Please Help. Thank You.

Are you using the latest version of Theme Manager 2.09.014?

Yes, to add to my question, how can I get a preview with object dock?

This only happened with one theme for me The Terminator3 Suite. Others worked fine and I don't have a preview for objectdock within ThemeManager either.

Open the folder where you have the theme file, and check the wallpaper. If the wallpaper is not a bitmap (.bmp) say it's a .jpg for example, you will get the error you described. You can either convert the file to a.bmp and point the theme to the new file with Theme manager, or you can Delete the reference to the wallpaper and apply the wallpaper separately through Display properties.
