tolCAbolt,

1 - Delete the "Skyscape" folder in "C:\Program Files\Stardock\Object Desktop\IconPackager" folder (or in "C:\Program Files\Stardock\IconPackager" folder if you have the program installed that way for some reason).

2 - Try downloading the Skyscape icon package using the method described here http://corkyo.wincustomize.com/Articles.aspx?SID=5463&AID=82563

3 - After downloading the file, just double-click to install.

This should invoke the IconPackager program, which should have the package loaded - allowing you to click "Apply". Wait a few seconds while IconPackager applies the theme.

Note - the "Skyscape" package is made for IconPackager version 3, so you will need that version installed to run it.

Suflet,

Normally, you would do the following:

1 - Go here http://www.download.com/DesktopX/3000-2340_4-10422614.html?tag=stardock and download the "DesktopX 3.1" shareware program

2 - Install the DesktopX program on your computer, and then restart your computer

3 - Go here http://corkyo.wincustomize.com/Articles.aspx?SID=5463&AID=82563 and read my mini tutorial on "Downloading content from WinCustomize", and then download the DesktopX theme you want to your computer using the directions in the mini tutorial.

4 - Double-click the DesktopX theme file you downloaded to install and it should automatically be applied.

5 - If the theme does not automatically apply - start DesktopX and click the Load Desktop option to select and apply the new theme.

That should get you started.

For more information on using the DesktopX program, you can read this https://www.stardock.com/products/desktopx/documentation/index.html

I hope this helps.

Shmihel,

First - the ".suite" file type is used by Theme Manager.

Second - Theme Manager is basically a file co-ordinator (manager) program, which reads the theme file (".suite" file type), and then invokes the proper program to apply the theme.

Third - you will therefore need the correct program installed to apply the different parts of the theme, such as:

- WindowBlinds to skin the Start Menu, Taskbar, Window Frame, Toolbar Icons, Scroll bars

- IconPackager to apply a set of custom system and file type icons

- CursorXP to apply a set of custom mouse pointers

- DesktopX to run widgets, or to apply a DesktopX theme

- ObjectDock to apply a dock theme

- LogonStudio to apply a custom logon screen

There are more programs as well, most of which can be found either under the "Software" tab at top of page, or via a link in the program's library (which are found at the top left of home page).

If you have the proper programs installed, including Theme Manager - you would simply double-click the ".suite" file to install > run Theme Manager > select the theme in the preview list > click the "Apply" button > wait a few seconds for the theme to be applied.

I have written a few mini tutorials for beginners which may help understand downloading content, working with the file structures of some of the programs, and backing up installed skins. You can go directly to my page by clicking my name, and you will see the list of mini tutorials there.

Due to server time-outs currently, I cannot grab a link to Cordelia's Corner (this is Cordelia's page) where you can find some tutorials for beginners outlining the basic use of some of the programs - so you would have to go to the "Site tab > Cordelia's Corner > Articles" and look through the articles for more information.

I hope this clears things up a bit.

Stars are ratings, which are given by users with the proper access level (achieved by developing a presence on the site, giving to the community in some way, and then receiving a bump in rank by users with abilities to recommend rank increase)

Referrals are links from other sites, referring users to the skin, site, page, or article.

HDUltra03,

Both of those programs include a "Themes" folder inside of their respective program folder:

IconPackager = "C:\Program Files\Stardock\Object Desktop\IconPackager\Themes" folder

CursorXP = "C:\Program Files\Stardock\CursorXP\Themes" folder

Note - if you are using CursorXP Plus, it will be: "C:\Program Files\CursorXP\Themes" folder.

I suggest trying to use the method outlined in this tutorial for downloading content http://corkyo.wincustomize.com/Articles.aspx?SID=5463&AID=82563 - after which, you should be able to double-click to install automatically.

Yes.... anything other than alpha-numeric characters (and I guess '-') will cause uploads to go wonky.

The lsz extension is for LiteStep. LS replaces the "Explorer Shell", so be sure to read the documentation before you try it.

Rocher776,

Glad you sorted the issue.....

Please keep in mind that we are all volunteers here, and have lives outside of WinCustomize as well.

In general - you can click on the small tab at top right of page called "My Skins" > expand the first drop-down list next to the word "Display" and see if you have anything listed as being  in "Moderation". If so, it has not been reviewed by the moderators who work with that particular library.

I just looked in the moderation section (I am not a moderator for any library, so can simply look at the uploads), and I do not see any art listed as being by "Drakolith".

If you see anything listed as being in "Moderation", and then it no longer shows after a couple of days, one of two or three things have happened:

1 - It was accepted and is now available in the relevant library for download

2 - It was rejected due to not meeting the 'guidelines' https://www.wincustomize.com/Guidelines.aspx

3 - In some 'rare' instances (very rare, mind you), there will be a failure in the database, and some files will be lost due to a system failure. This would probably affect only a 24 hour period, due to back-up systems in place. In this case, there will be a post on WC indicating a problem, and a request for those who uploaded in the last 24 hours to be aware of the issue - and to re-upload if they want.

E-mails are not always sent to tell the author of the result of the review of art, but moderators try to do this when possible. The one exception would be in the "Wallpaper" section, where the quantity of uploads in a given day may prohibit the practicality of sending e-mails (acceptance or rejection) to all authors.
