How do I apply the Blade theme?

[Gwenise]

Hello all. I just DL'd the Blade theme and have no clue how to get it on my CPU. I thought I would DL it and it would automaicly run...hany help is needed...FYI ...I have no clue what I am doing when it comes to creating files or anythig like that....I am running Windows 7 SPi OS.

this theme comes with an installer. all you have to do is click on the version for your OS (32 or 64 bit) and follow the installers instructions.

But first thing is you need to make sure you have the proper files patched before the theme will work and look properly. you can see how to do that here http://virtualcustoms.net/showthread.php/33198-Video-How-To-Patch-Windows-7-and-Apply-3rd-Party-Themes and here http://virtualcustoms.net/showthread.php/31634-How-to-patch-your-theme-files-to-enable-3rd-party-themes

32bit = (x86)
64bit = (64)

If you dont know what OS you have Right Click Computer in the Start menu & go to Properties & it'll tell you.

ok...I can't seem to open the file you tell me to DL to make sure the proper files patched...I go to DL it then it asks me what program I want to use to open it??? Im sorry but you must excuse my lack of knowledge in this area. Should I get the Winzip program to open it?

You might need WinRar to open it.

after you dl and install 7zip, right click on the archive > 7zip > extract ...

Thanks for all the help. I finally got the Theme installed but I dont think I have everything..(if that makes sense) some of the Icons are still the same as the Windows theme.

OK...so I figured out what I am missing...i can't seem to get the object dock skin to work...any ideas?

[CrazySouthernBoy]

There should be a setting in Object Dock that I'll let you put that them as it.

I open ythe file and extract the items but then there is no option for me to run it.

[Big V]

you need to have object dock installed first then place the files in the objectdock program file on your c drive

Thanks Big V! I figured it out the other day...
