Are Theme Manager and WinStyles the same thing?

from WinCustomize Forums
I thought Theme Manager was the replacement for WinStyles but I wanted to use a suite (Unlighted) and Theme Manager did not reconize it.

Did I do something wrong?

~ Yes, they are basically the same thing. Winstyles will be fazing out and Theme Mangager will be taking over.

I just noticed that WinStyles and Theme Manager have the same version number.



Yet strangly a theme did not open under the installed program... I did it from the Theme manager window. I guess that theme needs to be downloaded from IE instead of TM

i had theme manager installed, as well as winstyles. went to SDCentral the other day, and it showed as if i never installed it. i re-installed, but it didn't recognize my old suites, and winstyles would no longer work. i went to my object dock folder, went to winsyles folder, then to themes. i copied all the suitws to the themes folder in theme manager. voila, i have them all back.
