Am I missing something? Unable to figure out how to get this theme to work.

from WinCustomize Forums

Hello Everyone:

I'm totally new to all of this but hope to learn the ropes and be able to contribute

soon, but until then, could I get some help?  I'll admit, I'm a bit lazy when it comes

to searching forums and finding old posts to answer my question.

 

So I purchased Object Desktop Ultimate and have installed almost every program

on my computer.  I'm running Vista 32 bit and have downloaded the theme

CopperDeck2 https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx?skinid=176&libid=22

I've opened my ThemeManager and the CopperDeck2 theme shows up.

I click on it and then click on "apply this theme" .  My taskbar disappears for a

minute so it seems like it is applying the theme, but nothing at all changes.

Am I missing something?  What are the other steps I need to take in order

to apply this theme or any future themes I use?

 

A little about me......I've been on the design team for some very popular

companies such as John Deere, Coke, Wells Fargo,  and several other

mainstream companies.  I'm a graphic artist, not a web developer so I'm

hoping that I can learn how to use these tools to create some amazing

themes for everyone to use.

 

Thanks in advance,
Dave

Hope you didn't have the demo software on the machine when you installed ODU. If so, uninstall all and redownload through Impulse.

And most important:

Open up Theme Manager and click settings, make sure the one box under General Settings is marked.  When you apply a suite now you should get a drop down menu showing what is included in the suite.  Mark what you want and apply the suite.
