DL Sysmetrix themes not showing up
Friday, April 9, 2004 by RN2004 | Discussion: Stardock Software
Hello all
I've dl many of Pinchecls skins for sysmetrix and have made sure they were extracted to their own folders under 'themes'. When I right click Sysmetrix 'config' they are not showing up in the available skins. The 'ini' files are intact however. Any insight? They will not load when I attempt to import them either. Thanx in advance

The importfunction in sysmetrix only works if a single file is imported. It won't work when packs, as I do create, are used due to the multiple skins in them. RN, if you unpack them with a zipper using the "include path" option all should go well. If you don't want to use that make sure every directory you create has EXACTLY the same name as the theme it has to hold. That should solve it.

I had a similar problem with that too. I would just extract,copy and paste the folders into the sysmetrix themes folder but they were not showing up. The picture of it would be but not the text, I had to change the fonts in them to make them all show up. Don't know if that's the same problem you are having but figured it was worth a shot to mention it.

"fool proof" way of installing *newer* Sysmetrix skins:
After downloading the skin, open the folder where you have downloaded it to.
If its named skinname.zip open it and see if there is a .smx file inside.
If not, simply rename the downloaded .zip to .smx and doubleclick it.
If the .zip contains a .smx file, just unzip it and doubleclick it.
This lill "trick" at least works on most newer skins
