Help with buying premium themes/suites

March 10, 2005 3:36 AM from

Lets say I have Windowblinds Enhanced 4.5 installed, and I want to buy the XMen theme , which I believe is packaged using THEME MANAGER.

What happens if I install that theme?

Is there any compatibility issues with theme manager suites existing with the full version of windowblinds?

If I'm not mistaken...When I bought my UniverseMetal Premiim skin...everything was simply incorporated into they're prospective apps...Like icons went to icon packager...windowblinds went to windowblinds. And any extras such as sysmetrix you just added yourself. Mine came in a zip file which I opened and found all the little extras inside.

No issues that I know of between current suites in Theme Manager and an installed premium suite. I have the UniverseMetal 2004, Oxidized, Spiderman, and Alienware suites.

If you are an "Object Desktop" customer (I am not sure whether the requirement is to own the full suite, or whether you qualify by owning a few of the stand alone programs), you are given the option of a ".suite" file instead of just the ".exe" which includes the "Theme Manager" program as well. (As webgizmos said, the UniverseMetal suite came in a .zip file that just needed to be extracted and placed in the individual sub-directories)

When I got the Alienware suite, the only option was the ".exe" with Theme Manager. This installed a "Theme Manager" program, which could be seen in the "Add or Remove Programs" list. I own Object Desktop, and the only side affect I experienced, was that you could not uninstall the "Theme Manager" that installed with the Alienware suite without first deleting the suite from the Theme Manager sub-directory.

They may have changed this, I do not know.

The installer will detect that you have the full version of WindowBlinds already installed. There shouldn't be any compatibility issues.
