Most Definetly is. I don't like it always on top though because it gets in the way. DU Meter is enough.

Not every skin supports 4 drives either. Definetly give it a try.

SysMetrix is an App, not a theme. Open it like you would any App, then left click it to choose a theme.

I am going to to try this myself again, Blondie66. I had quit using SysMetrix because my system couldn't keep it together very long. When I was running it, I had no problems applying skins, so let me see what I come up with.

If anyone else has a solution, please speak up.

right click, choose Sysmetrix configuration, find your skin in the 'Theme Browser' section, click "Load Theme".

If the skin doesn't apply correctly: Click on 'Theme Settings'. On the right hand side at the bottom there is a text box for "Background". Click on the browse button on the right side of this text box and navigate to the folder where the sysmetrix skin resides (it should be there when you click the button). Then choose the .bmp file for the theme. It is supposed to be called whatever the theme is called. (eg.: Sammy Large.bmp.) When you click on the correct .bmp, your theme will look correct. Click "Save Current Theme" and then "Exit".

The problem is that the folder is supposed to have the exact same name as the theme's background .bmp file. When it doesn't, the theme won't load correctly.

Please let me know if this helped.

I was going to suggest trying another skin. I am afraid my new attempt nearly locked up my computer, it's a wonder I didn't lose my online connection.

It sounds like you have the answer there Werewolf, I am sure she will appreciate it as I.
