Theme Manager Status
Have a short and simple question for the Stardock folks.
I was wondering if there was any information available pretaining to an update for/to Theme Manager or if it will be moving into the nonsupported category?

I hope Zubaz comes back with some good news. This really is one of my favorite programs when it's working properly. Mostly I like being able to make my own themes. I'm crossing my fingers.
OK, Wizard, I'll try that with the Premium suites I have. Sorry about the delay. As far as what works, well in my case it won't change anything, just reverts to WB Classic. If Theme Manager will only change part of the theme then it defeats its own purpose - don't get me wrong, I love it, just wished it worked.
I got word that Theme Manager was going to get some bug fixes in the near future.
Well that would be nice to see. Unfortunately the word 'some' is of concern to me, but as one of those in the community that still try to use Theme Manager any fixes would be appreciated.
Thanks for the info Zubaz.
We ahve some issues we'd like to see addressed. Now is the time to bring up others and here is a good a place as any.
No promises.
One of the things I would like to see addressed is fixing Included Elements, when making a suite, to where they work. Currently you can not include Icons, or DX Widget and Gadgets and I believe Object Dock is another.
If the Included Elements could reflect the current WinCustomize Gallery Libraries such as including Xion, Rainlendar, Winstep Extreme and so on.
Of course Theme Manager being able to work from Windows XP forward would be great also.
Thanks again Zubaz.
Theme manager is not going to get any new features (including applications like Xion or even ObjectDock [not part of Object Desktop]).
When you say "icons" do you mean IconPackages?
XP is unlikely to get much if any love.
I think Philly means Icon Packager, Zubaz. I have him on Skype...he should be along shortly.
Yes IconPackages.
How about dropping some of the older programs then such as HoverDesk, BeatNick, ICQ Plus and such?
It would totally rock if Theme Manager could just be fixed so the the currently included features would work.
As is, it only applies thw blind and a wallpaper. And sometimes at best.
Possible.
IconPackages are not applying at all?
Hmm . . need to test this.
Sometimes...
I can not included IconPackager in the suite using Included Elements.
So you are talking about building? Can you edit the ini file to add them?
And you are talking about applying?
Yes, Zubaz. Most of the time, the only things that load for me, with Theme Manager, is the wall, and a blind. Sometimes other things load, sometimes they don't.
I say these things from memory because I gave up on TM a while back. I shall try again, so I can give you current feedback.
Ok, just loaded several in a row. 5 to be exact. 3 did not load a wall. All loaded a WB and DX. All errored that CursorFX isn't installed and, get this, asked if I wanted to load Impulse and install CursorFX...lol. CFX is installed, btw.

Known bug. On the list. ![]()
I never learned how to do that Zubaz.
Aw, they're not bugs, they're just random features.
Either way I'm hyped about any upcoming fixes. I read somewhere that you should have theme manager installed on the same drive as your operating system. I did have it on my external drive but moved it to c. I cleaned my temp files and that cleanable stuff (I don't want to get to technical for you guy, lol). None of this seemed to have any effect for me. Does anybody know if that's right, about having it on c? Also would it matter about having the associated programs on a different drive? Such as icon packager, etc.
Theme Manager can live anywhere and having the apps on another drive should not matter either.
Cool. Im partial to the ext.
So Zubaz, anything happening on this yet?
