Theme Manager - Windows 7by ~bickelk

Customization / Skins & Themes / Windows 7 Utilities / Other

Just a note that as of 8/05/2012 development of Theme Manager is no longer continuing. This includes both the 4.x and 5.x versions. With Windows 8 only a month away I figure it is time to move on. The 4.x versions of this program are considered stable and you may continue to use them as is. The 5.x versions never reached a final release however the most recent release candidate works well and is only missing the blur feature. Thanks for all your support and I hope that you have liked this program.

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.

Why do i get this message when i start theme manager? A theme application has already been started. A system restart is required before another theme can be applied.

What can i do to get rid of this message so i don't have to restart my computer every time i want to change my theme.

~masterg313 May 17, 2013 New member

By the way i forgot to put in that i did do the patch.

~Aderic Apr 20, 2013

~razorath Feb 20, 2013

Okay, I have a problem, I put all my themes in my Documents folder and the program says it cannot find the directory I'm pointing to, any tips?

~asanimationstudios Feb 8, 2013

~tenzinorbu Jan 5, 2013

i always get this error saying that theme manager has stopped working everytime i try to apply a theme.i tried many different themes ofcourse i patched too,whats the problem?plz heeeelp

~ayacchin-zephirus Jan 27, 2013 Student Writer

well, after using this one, i realise that this patcher has potential for crashing your system... it worked fine at first, but i highly recommend for creating a system restore before using this patch. after some meddling, this patch couldn't work along with other some system related to the themes and could make your explorer crash. i've wasted about 2 hours for re-installing and reverting my systems and system data such as fonts, and because of that from now on, i will always make a restore point before applying any 3rd party apps and patcher that meddling with your C:/ system..
