A new version (v5) of Theme Manager is in the works. It contains a completely new UI.
For information go to this [link]


Theme Manager allows you to install, apply, and remove themes all from one location as well as changing the Windows logon background. Support for screenshots is also included so you can view themes before applying them.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Current Verison = 4.0.4

A full change log can be found at this [link]

All versions support 64-bit Windows.
Version 1.1.2 and higher support 32-bit Windows.

Do not use on Non-English systems.

YOUR SYSTEM FILES MUST BE PATCHED BEFORE USING THIS APPLICATION!
I recommend "UxStyle Core" for that. Here is the [link]

I've gotten some reports that after installing Windows 7 SP1 and then using this program the Aero Basic theme will be enabled.
This is almost always fixed by reinstalling UxStyle Core or whatever patcher you happen to be using. After that it should function just fine.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How to use Theme Manager:

Installing themes:
In the tab for each included theme file, check the box and browse to the file (drag 'n' drop is also supported). When all components are selected click "Install Theme". The theme will be added to the list on the right

Applying a theme:
Select the desired theme in the theme list and click "Apply Theme". The screen may flash a few times while loading the theme.

Removing a theme:
Select the desired theme in the theme list and click "Remove Theme". You cannot remove the currently applied theme.

Restoring Windows Defaults:
Select the "Aero" theme in the theme list and click "Apply Theme".

Reseting Theme Manager:
Note: This removes all installed themes and applys the Windows Defaults.
While in Theme Manager press the "Ctrl+R" keys on your keyboard. Select "Yes" on the pop-up warning.

Export a theme as a tmzip file:
Select the desired theme in the theme list. Press the "Ctrl+E" keys on your keyboard. The tmzip file will be created on your Desktop.

Import a theme:
Press the "Ctrl+I" keys on your keyboard. In the file selection window, find and select the .tmzip file to import.

View or Take screenshot:
Press the Expend key (the long button on the very right side) to open the screenshot pane. If a theme is selected its screenshot will show.
To take a screenshot, Apply the theme and with its name selected press the button below the screenshot viewing area.
Double clicking on a screenshot will expand it to see more detail.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The first theme you apply will automatically require a system restart. After that only themes that change the current shell32.dll or OobeFldr.dll in place will require a system restart to fully apply. Anything else is applied immediately with no restart required.

Theme Manager - Windows 7 by ~bickelk is the ultimate and most useful application in order to easily browse, manage, install and apply Visual Styles in windows7. definitely a musthave for those who are frequently switching their system's appearance.

I seriously don't know what i'm doing wrong anymore -sigh-
I just installed a new OS on my comp, win7 64-bit ultimate and.. i seem not to be able to install any themes -.-

I tried several Theme installers, tried swapping the files manually. It never looks like it is supposed to. I used this theme installer to install [link] but this is how it looks: [link]

SERIOUSLY! I don't know what i do wrong anymore! I never had problems installing a theme on my laptop

I've had something similar happen occasionally. It has something to do with it not being refreshed properly. Anyway, the thing that works for me is to set one of the Windows default themes and then restart your computer. You should then be able to choose your preferred theme and have it work properly. Hope this helps!

Hm I don't really understand what you mean by chosing one of the default themes. I tried it several times with different themes and always went back to the Aero before trying it again. What am i supposed to do?

I meant choosing the Aero theme. Under the Personalize screen there are quite a few official Windows themes (which are really just recolored Aero themes). Have you tried changing themes using the Personalize screen instead of the ThemeManager? That's how I change my themes. To get to the Personalize screen, just right-click the desktop and then click on personalize.

I honestly don't know what to tell you since I don't use the ThemeManager. Maybe you could try uninstalling ThemeManager and see if that fixes anything?
