Yup! Nice work people! Thinking of another suite to do yet, ZubaZ? I don't think there's much time to do a Christmas suite, but if we do just the basics for it, it might be possible... but that's for in the future. But right now, let''s get this one featured!

In teh normal way at WC.  Just use the same template s teh other submissions.

(don't use the title format for the last three . . they didn't follow the pattern.)

If any of the artists that did not use the Birthday Suit(e) {Appname} format could update the title that'd be awesome.

All,   I have used the new Theme Manager to create the a suite.  Please take a look and see what you can see.

Some limitations of the tool now are that it can have as many DX widgets as you want but only one object.  Same with docks.

I've documented the issues I've encountered here: https://forums.stardock.com/330419/page/11/#1957907

If you have issues loading please post them there too.

Sorry.  I'll add it in and reupload.  THe ScreenSaver was the first time I hit the search failure and was documenting that (I think).

I left a comment on the Suite page, but I will ask the question here also.  If I download the suite is it going to find all the items that I have a corresponding program for and install them?

Does it automatically apply the suite?

So so at the moment Philly.

Only DL the 4 as per reply #1259 would think all are on my computer already, but may have had the original names

and no DS Widgets wallpaper etc.

I've renamed the suite file to zip and looked at the winstyle.ini and there may be some issues.  Dunno really.  Will have to follow up with someone at SD tomorrow.

Like I said ..  it's a start.

Zubaz it's great that you took the time to try out this function in Theme Manager 3.0.

Not very many skinners were pulling together Suites for thier WB Themes with the old Theme Manager.

It would be nice if this makes it easier for them to do it.  Sort of like a free MyColors Suite.

I'll be monitoring here to see how you make out and if others take your lead.  Good work.

Very few skinners make full suites.  They take a tonne of time.  But I've seen more than a few suies based on one artist's skin.  vStyler and I.R. Brainiac stand out in my mind.

This app will allow anyone to create the packs without infringing on those artists.

I am hopeful that they create "authorised" or "official" suites by asking permission.

Hmm . . need to look at how to edit the winstyle.ini file becuase I don't see where I can edit a suite to add content.  (
