Ive tried to install and run many themes. Most all of the time it will give me a bunch of errors and nothing will load so i just switch back to the defualt template. Other times it gives me a bunch of errors and then loads a theme that does not work. usally these errors deal with where the files are located, like not in the right folder, and some times even fi they are in the right folder they wont load. Like in the isotanium theme, it says my .box files arnt there when they clearly are. i also have tried to install nonstep and that loaded nothing and gave me a bunch of .dll errors. i read a bunch of the docs and stuff and then i reinstalled litestep and tryed installing the themes with the installer that comes with litestep, i try to install the zip yet i get the same problems. can anyone point me towards a doc that can help me out, cause i haev looked high and low and have found nothing of the sort.

sorry for all this text, thanks.

Did you install the latest beta release or did you install from omar's installer?

Whenever you encounter a theme that doesn't work, leave a comment in the comments (duh) section of the theme. Otherwise neither the themer nor other users will know about it and will hae the same problems over and over again.

well i mean i have tried about 6 themes, and non have worked at all. and ive tried pretty popular ones too. I really dont think that there are all these non working themes, some of which i got off this site to. Here, why doesnt someone link me to a theme they know works and i will try to run it, that will solve this problem.

Are they OST compliant and do you have a space in your user name? I am currently having problem with some themes b/c there is a space in mine so it thinks the space is the end of the directory name a times...

The theme is not OTS2 complaint and can cause issues. It was converted and released here. (LINK Try that version out because I have more faith in our conversion than original themes.

i downloaded it and it told me i had to download some models, and one was called like popup something or something and it said it downloaded but... and i couldnt read the rest. now i cant right click anything, darn.

you can resize the columns in that dialog box... but what you most likely will need to do is go into the theme.rc and change the line that says *netloadmodule popup2 to say *netloadmodule popup2-2.1.6
