Well, then fire up Desktop X and double-click on the theme, it should apply it. If not right-clik on te DX icon in your system tray, "Load Theme", then just the theme in the list.

The theme is a zipped file. After unzipping in a desktop folder, I open DesktopX, and choose"load theme". I then choose browse, then the folder where the unzipped theme is. Nothing shows. DestopX thinks the folder is empty.

Just downloaded a different theme. Got the theme.exe file and double-clicked it. Dialog box says that a newer version of DesktopX was used to make this theme and it may not work with my version. I have the lasest version...What's up with this sh*t?

2.19b is the latest version. You need to update through stardock central.

Stardock Central doesn't offer an upgrade. They want me to pay another $19.95. That's not going to happen...so thanks for all the help...I really appreciated it !!
