IconPackager Themes

Will not install correctly

from JoeUser Forums
Ok, I am wondering why Icon packager looks for *.ip file extentions
and the themes come with *.ipthemes file extentions??
So they will not install correctly at all... what am I doing wrong?

Secondly... WHAT the hell is with the need to install software just to post a question on a forum??? I had to reboot twice!!! and all I wanted to do was ask ONE bloody question!!! How obtrusive and annoying do websites have to become now a days??? would you like a blood sample or perhaps a retinal scan??? damn... !!!

*.iptheme files are the info files for the packages. *.ip files are renamed .zip files. Sme people are having problem with renamed zips after installing SP2 on XP. For some reason the files get renamed back to zip.
You can fix them by renaming the zips.

Step 1. File extension must not be hidden. If you're unsure what that means, open Control Panel > Folder Options > View tab > "Hide extensions for known file types" should be un-checked.

Step 2. Right-click the file and select Rename. Change the zip part of the name to the proper extenion. Example; skin1.zip = skin1.wba (for a WindowBlind skin)
If you get a warning about changing the extention, click OK

Step 3. Double-click the renamed file.

I have no idea what you mean........ all you need to post comments on the messageboard is a browser, and an WC account.
