Downloaded it last night very smooth. In case anyone didn't know the windowblinds has 4 subskins.

Hi,
Just a bit confused....
Is this new Premium suite included in the Level 4 WinCustomize subscription, or is it excluded from the FREE Premium suites for subscribers?

No it's not a wincustomize subscription suite. It's completely separate suite

Q: When I use Custom colours on this theme the OB right click menu becomes black. How can I make it the same as the custom colours?

ObjectBar does not support custom coloring like WindowBlinds does

Ok fair enough... any idea why the right click menu of OB changed from the TOON XP maroon too Black? I can close OB and restart OB... it goes thru importing Windowblinds theme and ends up black. 
Just so its clear if I reload the default colour scheme of TOON XP OB imports the correct colour.

I looked at the .bmp's for the popup menu and they are grey... so it gets instruction for the colour ( whether it be Maroon or black from somewhere ) any idea what could be changed to tweak it to a colour of my choice? any OB themers that could assist me with this?

Hey - got Desktop X ok and the walls, but nada on WindowBlinds and Object Bar (I've been using Paul's orion icons for a while now, so nothing new there, just great art). Any one else experiencing this?

Figured it out - didn't have the updated winstyles (don't try this theme without it).

kja: there will be supposedly two premium suites included with the subscription. One has been released. The second one is yet to come. All the other premium suites are sold seperatly, like batteries.

I was wondering the same as most, I'm not currently a subscriber but am very seriosuly considering becoming one soon, I do spend a helluva lot of time around here. So I guess my question is would the Toon-XP theme be downloadable at no extra charge or would I still have to pay even if I am a subscriber? This will more than likely make my decision for me, if it's included I will subscribe, if it will cost extra well then I guess I just don't see the point of being a subscriber, might as well just purchase the suites that tickle my fancy & save my subscription fee. Thanks!
Thanks!

Phydeaux_3: there is an $8.95 charge for the suite...but it is a suite. There is a lot of stuff in there for a small price. It's very nice looking on my desktop and the icons are made by, probably, the best icon maker out there. It's worth it.

Phydeaux: see my post just above yours. Toon XP is not one of the two included premium suites. The first included suite is called XP Augustus and the second one is yet to be released.

Yeah, sorry paxx, I replied before I saw that there was a page 2. Is there anywhere that I can preview XP Augustus? I've looked around a little (searched) & could not find any comments/reviews or anything. I'm still cornfused, Toon-XP IS a "premium suite" is it not? Was it not created by the same company/team/skinner(s) as the other premium suites? Seems to me like a bit of a cash-grab, not including it as one of the freebies. I think I'll skip on the subscription, it would be a better idea (imho) to let the subscriber choose their 2 free premium suites, instead of Wincustomize deciding for us which 2 suites a subscriber is entitled to. I'm not big on "no choice" type bonus stuff. 
Thanks again.
Thanks again.
kthxbye

TOON-XP is a fantastic desktop suite. One very minor problem. I'm unable to set the clock on the top of the screen. When the clock in my taskbar says 4:46 PM (EST) the clock up at the top of the screen says 2:55 and no amount of right clicking seems to get me to any configuration screen that will let me reset it.

HuronJoe: Known problem...the .dll plugin is being fixed as we speak. This is not the fault of the suite author. I've been able to fix it myself by making a new pair of clock hands using the AnalogClock.dll (my version is an older one, I guess)
