If the file suffix is 'wmz', and not 'zip' [just rename zip to wmz] then double clicking on them will load them for you...

OK. Now can someone explain a little bit about the difference in themes and suites. Plus how to install suites.

The suite has more than just a WB skin. It will have at least one more skin, usually Icon Packager, Sysmetrix, Winamp or WMP, CursorXP, etc...Wallpaper...Bootskin, Logon...all rolled into one. A theme is just one theme for one themeware app.

You will use Theme Manager to install suites.

i use theme manager and it loads the file but nothing happens. Am i suppose to change the file type to use it?

Probably not, if it loads the file. You need the individual programs installed for each part of the suite, though.
I also recall someone had posted a problem with Theme Manager not applying some parts of suites correctly, causing the end user to have to apply them manually ... apply each skin with its own program. I don't recall the specific details though.

A couple of had that problem - don't know if they were using 2004 or 2005 version.
One had the .wba open with default changed due to MS WinFX Beta (not Stardocks WindowFX)
