Installing Downloaded Themes

Friday, March 5, 2004 by dgf001 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I hope someone can help me. I would like to know how to install a theme into desktopx 2.1 when it has a whole bunch of files with the installation and the software can't find the file it needs to install.

is it a zip file or what?


if its a zip, then rename it to whatever the extension is for DX and then double click to self install.


i think that should work...

I think all of the ones that I'm downloading are zip files. I'll try that and we'll see how it goes. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!

anytime. and if that doesnt work, try unzipping it into a folder and moving that folder into the themes folder of DX

The renaming worked like a charm. I had been unzipping alot of them and when I went to load it (them) into desktopx - it couldn't find the .dxtheme. So, I renamed the zip file .dxtheme, and it seems to work fine.

Thanks again!
