Hello :) there is a theme i want to use and i need 0.24.6.. i think i got it but it came in a zip form and it comes with no theme folder or anything like that. How do i install this 0.24.6 so i can use my skin monochrome^3? or is there a way to change the theme to 24.7?

There is only the hard way.
Learn how themes work.
Learn OTS2.
Convert, should come naturally after those.

Basically, look at the .rc -files and see how the theme is configured. Then replicate that configuration with a modern theme structure. I'm sorry I cannot help more, but LS is like this and RTFM is the phrase of the day.

i would advise updating the theme to ots2. check here:

Most things should work fine by just using 0.24.7 instead of 0.24.6. Not everything, but most things. The core doesn't care about the OTS2 theme structure, that just makes it easier to share themes.

I think he is saying that he got litestep 0.24.6 in a zip, not the theme.

b36, get Omar's Litestep installer. (see the sticky thread "where do I download litestep"). Once you have that installed, follow the instructions on how to add a new theme. Good luck.

oh, I thought he was saying the theme was made for 0.24.6
