Oxidized Suit not all installing

Friday, January 14, 2005 by Stephen Kilmer | Discussion: WindowBlinds

I purchased the Oxidized suit and when I use the Theme Manager to install it some of the things don't install.
The only wallpaper I get is the medium one. Is there a large one? The medium one looks scrunched up.
I do not get a bootskin, no Objectdock Plus tabs, no calendar, no meter, weather / clock or media player.
I have bootskin and Objectdock Plus installed.
What am I doing wrong.

Thanks...Steve

I don't have this suite, but you might have to install some of the things manually. First I do think that there are different resolution wallpapers included in the suite.

Change the extension of the suite- or theme-file to zip and unzip it to a folder of your choice. Have a look inside;

the bootskin should have the extension .bootskin

the clock, calendar, meters, and weather items are either a .dxpack or an .exe (widget). Note that You will need DesktopX installed for them.

The walls are either .jpg or bmp

The objectDock plus tabs is the folder where you have a couple of .png files and a file called background.ini (move/copy this folder into your ObjectDock\Backgrounds folder)

Each of these components (as well as the other components included) are likely to be in theyr own folder.

hope that helps.

Thanks aufisch,
I changed it to a zip file and looked inside and the files are not there.
I emailed tech support and am going through them I must not have gotten all the files.
Thanks...Steve

The Boot, Dock and Wallpaper are in a separate folder. You need to download it in addition to the Theme file. The zip file is: Oxidized_Boot_Dock_Walls_Widgets.zip

Where do I download this at. I never got that file. All I downloaded was the suite file.

Thanks...Steve

Ok I woke up. I went and looked at the email I got from stardock and there was a second download link.
I think I'm awake now.

Thanks everybody.

saint3, Please try to be a bit more specific than that. Which suite file, and what exactly happens?

Recently there were quite a few error reportings concerning suites that consists only of URL's (these suites are easy recognisable by their small size, e.g. 1-10 KB). These problems occured due to the files being moved to a new server. Try to stick to larger suites/themes (e.g 500 Kb - 5 MB large) in the meantime.
