unzip them under symetrix/themes directory (wherever you installed the program) then right click on sysmetrix and select configuration, make sure theme browser is selected and you should see some different themes in the middle column with previews to the right

hope that helps

I've had this same problem.

I had the themes in the Sysmetrix folder and everything like Cavanaugh said, however they still weren't showin up.

So, besides what he said, I qoute exactly what werefold said to me (and it worked of course):

"you'll have to name the folder the *exact* same name as the main background .bmp"

Hope that helps.

nod - the dl and appy thing seems not to work for me in the wincustomize browser - nothing wrong with the zips, it just seems to leave out spaces in the names or something

A lot of times when you unzip the theme file it comes embedded in 3 folders (program files,sysmetrix, themes,'theme name'. Just move the last folder (theme name) to themes folder and it will show up.
