when you say you downloaded the copper deck theme, did you download teh copper deck WinStyle or just the windowblinds skin?

For example to get the cursors, icons, etc to work you must either download the copper deck skin from each respective catagory and apply them all individualy or download the copper deck winstyle and let it download/apply each offered skin.

Unclear: what copperdeck theme did you download? Just the WindowBlinds skin or an actual winstyles theme that includes all the things you mention that are not working?

Excuse me being elementary, but since I don't know what you do or don't have, I'll mention that a WindowBlinds skin ususally doesn't include icons, for example. You need the apps that you mention, like iconpackager, and then have to download the icons separately. Unless you have the Winstyles program and you are applying a Winstyles theme that may include all the skins, icons, etc for that theme. If you don't have Winstyles, just search in each repective library (wallpaper, iconpackager, sysmetrix) for the skins for each application.

For the icons you need IconPackager
https://www.stardock.com/products/iconpackager

Once you have it installed, download the copperdeck icon packager theme and (assuming its a .iptheme file, just doubleclick it. If it's a .zip file, rename it to a .iptheme file.

To change to other icon packs, start icon packager, select one of the installed icon packages and press load and apply.

For Sysmetrix, you need to have Sysmetrix installed
http://www.xymantix.com/sysmetrix/download.html

Now download the copperdeck symetrix skin which is a zip file. Open the zip file and you should find a copperdeck folder. copy the folder from the zip file to inside the program files\sysmetrix\themes folder.

Now start up sysmetrix. right click whatever theme shows up, select configuration from the menu, and from the config dialog box, select copperdeck, then press load theme, then exit
