Thanks for the reply. Yes, I already had the advanced options ticked, one of the suites is yours, 'Copper Carbon Fibre'. When I click 'Apply Theme' Theme Manager says 'Applying Theme' but nothing happens.

Yep, Vista, although it did work prior to major problems last weekend, now cured.

Sorry, life got in the way and have been a little busy.  There was supposed to an update coming out for Theme Manager but haven't seen it yet.

I am able to run the suites on my XP and Vista system.  I will go back and test the links for each suite to make sure that they did not get broken.  I'm just a user of the provided software, not a skinner.  I'm sorry that the suites are not working for you. 

If I find out anything I will post it here.

topofthelot, I checked with Stardock today and they would like you to email support@stardock.com and explain the problem you are having.  Unfortunately Theme Manager is behind Win 7 compatiblility efforts waiting to be updated.

I think Theme Manage is and can be a great problem.

Just thought I would bump this thread as I need help in downloading and applying suites. I have Windows 7 HP 64 bit and have bought, downloaded and installed Object Desktop and Object Dock Plus and I want to download and install some of the suites available. Do I have to download and install each of the individual components for each suite (such as the WindowBlinds, DesktopX, ObjectDock etc) or can you just get one suite file like what is included with Theme Manager?

Sorry I am a newb and have only used DeskScapes before now. 

Heck, do what I do and just download what ya want individually.

Well then, I sure am wasting my time, hmmmm. 

Thanks for the help Philly, unfortunately I don't seem to be able to even download the suite file. When I click on the download link it is for a dream file for DeskScapes. I'll do what the others have suggested and download the individual files. I've noticed that some files such as Object Dock files come as zip files. When I extract these files where do I put them? Presumably OD and other programs have their own directory on the C: drive but do the files go in a skins folder or elsewhere?

Thanks again for the help. 

Which suite is giving you the trouble?

OD backgrounds can go in Public Documents in the OD Library. If it is a tabbed background or a running indicator, they should go in C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock\ObjectDockPlus2 or  the custom plus/minus images and RI's won't show up.

As for me, I put everything in Program Files as I'm the only user of this PC and got rid of the Stardock folder in Documents. (It seems everybody wants to put a folder there, not just SD.)

I dl'd Fabrik. I see no DeskScapes in the list. I do see CFX, a wall, DX theme and WB in the list as not downloaded, which is NOT correct except for the wall. To borrow a phrase from Phoon, TM is flakier than Grandma's biscuits.

FYI: TM should prompt you to install the software for anything in the suite if the software isn't installed and you try to apply it.

EDIT: I see you have a handle on it, that's great. Btw, once you load a suite, all components should show up in their respective UI's and can be applied separately.

Thanks Wizard. I've tried out a few different suites and generally TM seems to apply the WB, DX and sometimes the icons. Generally I go through the checklist of the suite and check each program individually to see what's been downloaded/applied and then apply any missing bits myself.

I'm a bit disappointed that TM hasn't been updated to fix these issues seeing as people have been complaining about them for some time. I've spent quite a bit of money today on getting all the individual component programs to completely change my desktop's look and feel so I'd expect it all to work properly.

Now I just need to figure out what items/software I use most often to put into my fences and docks etc. I can pretty much do away with the standards windows taskbar seeing as ObjectDock does the same thing and hides itself away nicely. I've applied the AutoBox suite/theme as this works great with my random DeskScapes animations and really helps to open up the desktop.

I have to say Fences is a Godsend! Now I can hide away all my desktop shortcuts/icons I was too scared to delete and get at them again with a double click. Stardock make some pretty cool products.
