I read the stuff about the bandwidth... 27k gigs, that's just insane! As soon as I get some flow, I wouldn't mind pitching in 20 bucks. Anyway - I'm having a bit of a problem...
I've downloaded a few desktop objects as dxpack files. Yeah, I know - open them with Desktop X. But my problem is that DesktopX loads a theme. I don't want the freaking theme, I'm already using Mike Bryant's awesome Toxic skin for WB. What I want is to run the objects without Desktop X applying a theme!! Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks. Btw - screenshot of how I combined WB theme, sysmetrix, and desktop wallpaper. I think it looks awesome

Oh yeah, I'd have icons to match it too but file was corrupted, blah.

I never made a skin called Toxic. I believe that was by Michael Brandt.

My bad. Brandt I meant. Don't mean to rob him of his props!
NightTrain - My problem is that WHENEVER I start DesktopX, it automatically loads a freakin' theme and I can't get it to remove it. I also said in my original post that I was dealing with "desktop objects", not widgets. I appreciate the reply. I don't think I was clear enough in describing my current configuration.
I'm using a theme with WindowBlinds and whenever I open DesktopX to try to use the objects that I downloaded, it loads up a theme and I can't get it to remove the theme. That means I have to shut it off to get rid of the stupid theme - thus not being able to use the objects I downloaded.
Sorry if this sounds a little snappish, I'm about to go to bed, been up for 36+ hours, forgive me Will check back when I wake up, hope theres a solution posted here. I know you guys are gurus and can help me out. Peace.

In order to use objects only you need to start a new blank theme, then import the objects into that blank theme and then save that as a theme. An object is part of a theme.

Sure, like NT2002 said.
Right-click on DX systray icon. Switch to Edit Mode if you're not. Select New Theme. It will open a new theme with nothing on it at all. Save it before you import any new object and you'll be able to just open that blank theme every time you need it.
