Oh, by the way, if you have XP, you can not install Logon Vista....it won't do it. Now, I am going to go pout, and cry, and stomp my foot, since Logon for XP is no longer supported.

ImStein Login Studio and Bootskins may no longer be supported but you can still download the programs. Go to the Gallery Library for each. In the top banner of each you will see a link to download either program depending which library you are in. Some folks are still making skins for them.

ok, the new theme manager, i love the new interface it standarsizes all the applications.

now to the nitty gritty.

adding new theme/suites, upon close and reload of the program they are no longer there

saving current desktop displays a message saying you cannot save a my colours theme even though the theme i am using is not my colours.

when closing the program it does not close completely leaving itself resident in memory and one has to manually kill it in task manager to get it to load again.

try to apply a theme and nothing happens, it brings up the advanced options to choose what parts you would like to apply and click ok and nothing happens.

Oh, I have LogonXP and even make my own skins. The last time I tried Bootskins, it was so buggy, I gave up on it. Other than that, I am good. Gonna hold out until 7 comes out, and see how well it does. I really don't see me buy and upgrading every new OS that comes out, so I will stick with what I have, and still pout. LOL ~_^

OH! I just started playing with it now....LogonXP and bootskins still load up in a theme, so although it's not listed as an application, it still functions as an application. YEAH!

So far I really like the look of theme manager, it matches the updated look of WB

That is a good question, we will have to think about how to handle that.

I gave this thing a thorough run through (i.e., I used all the features). It will install most things on the first theme I install (just not the Desktop X widgets, and as mentioned in an earlier post by someone, it doesn't allow Desktop X objects to be imported into a theme). But when I install a different theme after the first one, it doesn't change the Windowblind, it leaves the one from the first theme I installed in place.

Zubaz made a theme using urls, emailed it to me and I tried to use it. It installed in the manager ok and when I clicked Apply it came up and told me it would need to download 4 different files and I said yes. That's as far as I got. I was watching the network adapter using Samurize and I din't even see a bump in outgoing or incoming traffic. I'm on XP Pro SP3. Thememanager 2.99[b].032 (x86)

The package was created using only skins that were downloaded. Nothing on my HD.

I verified that none of the components were on my PC and tried to apply the theme. (available on request via email). I was prompted to download the skins . . and then nothing.

DesktopX is missing so is RightClick and WindowFX. [/quote]

It will load up DesktopX Themes though.

[quote who="k10w3" reply="18" id="1927036"]It doesn't support Logon XP? Will LogonStudio Vista work on XP? (I wanted to hold on to XP at least until Windows 7 was out of beta and released to the public)

Just wondering k10w3... Have you tried loading up Logon XP skins with ThemeManager? I ask because I am on Vista and when I load up old Suites'

ThemeManager can see the LogonXP skins but it tells me dont have it installed' naturally so of being on Vista.

I borked the quoting

Applications, Logons tab:: My logon previews are not being displayed, I can only see the default one. Anyone else having the same problem?

Successfully updated karma reason!

In Applications tab, Tab Icon is not giving the default IconPackager Folder but the C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Stardock\IconPackager one which is an error. Icons even for MyColors MUST be stored in the folder defined in IconPackager

Still in Aplications tab, Cursors are giving 11 themes coming from nowhere but as sure not from the correct C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Stardock\CursorFX\Themes folder

The Tab Logon MUST be changed for LogonXP / Logon Vista

There's a bug in the Wallpaper section not showing the correct directory choosen

Successfully updated karma reason!

OK. I have installed without a problem. The only thing that I am having trouble with is adding a folder to wallpapers.

I add the folder I want, however when I click on it nothing happens. Exit and open again and the folder I added disappears.

I am using Vista HP 32 bit

I have one drive with 3 Partitions. Operating system on C: and the folder I want to add is on D:

"... saving current desktop displays a message saying you cannot save a my colours theme even though the theme i am using is not my colours."

Same problem

Vista Home Premium SP1. Experience factor 3.4 (whatever that's called)

Successfully updated karma reason!

I find that the program is heavy on CPU usage. I am using Intel E6750 dual core and when using theme manager usage is around 50-60%. Normally it is around 5-10%. Even after closing theme manager it appears to be working in the background as CPU usage does not drop until I reboot the system.

Also the only logon that appears is the Windows default.

Dreams do not load. I only have that little torch searching for them.

Cursor pictures do not show for all the cursors. I am not sure if this has something to do with with cursor XP and cursor FX!!!

I know that this is a Beta version and I believe that when these bugs are resolved it will be a great program.

Keep up the good work.

My suspicions about the cursor preview appears to be correct. Only the FX cursor pack previews show up in Theme Manager 3. The Cursor XP previews do not.

If you have used My Colors, and then changed your desktop, it will still show as My Colors. You have to go into MC and click on the Windows XP Desktop(which reverts everything you have done to make your cool desktop) back. Yeah, its a pain in the ass, but how long does it really take to put everything to rights, and then save in TM???? Oh, wait, I don't have that much on my dt....sorry

Noted by us and developer. We will be fixing.

Here are a few issues I notice after trying Theme Manager 3 beta

1: Very slow to apply themes. MyColors applies them much faster.

2: Will not apply gadgets when appling a theme.

3: Icons on my system tray disappear after appling a theme. Example: Windows messenger icon, and my Nod32 icon.

Other than that seems to have much potential.

Nimbin, specifically what theme/suite are you adding to the theme list which when closed and reopened is not displayed?

Successfully updated karma reason!

neophil78,

What is being listed under the Icons tab? The default path for icon is C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Stardock\IconPackager however if you have a custom path set then the custom path will be used.
