Smells like WinStyles to me....

Assuming I'm right, it's probably a suite of complementary themes, but you won't know for which programs until you pull it into WinStyles.

Change the extension from *.xptheme to .zip and then you can install the components you like without using winstyles. I dont use winstyles, so thats how I installed the pixos theme I purchased.

Yes you need SysMatrix then for that portion. When you downloaded the .xptheme that is only the theme itself, not the programs needed to apply the theme. There is a link on the SysMatrix section of Wincustomize to the website and download of it.

the files in the skins are just the skins, not the programs. You still need the individual programs to install them. Im my case, I use WB, Iconpackager, and Cursor XP. I tried the Sysmetrix but didnt care for it.

Are using a preimum suite like toonxp/pixos, or something you downloaded of wincustomize?
