older theme conversion

sorry if i posted this twice!

Im trying to use an older desktop x theme with the new desktop x 3.

the theme in question was the longhorn desktop shipped with the shareware version of desktop x 2.

the problem im having is that although it loads ok, the theme has large black spaces in it.

also the button to toggle the auto hide option causes the theme to go crazy and get stuck in a loop where it displays the alert box over and over again crashing the system.

ive tried everything i can think of but im fairly new to the package so dont realy know what im doing and dont want to make it worse.
any help u could give me would be much appreciated

Hi,

It's -possible- that age of the theme may be causing the problem. Not saying that it is. It all depends on how the author put the theme together really. If you load other themes with DesktopX, does the same thing happen?

no it only happens with that 1 theme that i know of but its my favorite desktop x theme and i havent found one better than it yet.

could it be a problem with the properties of the background image? maybe its not set to tile or streach properly?
