[quote]Zargon, dude, I know you are inundated with all the bugs and such, but with so many people saying the same thing about one theme, maybe you could let us know you are working on it. Each and every complaint is coming from an XP user, not one is on Vista. [/quote] We are working on this Aero Midnight skin issue. :-) Please stay tuned.

[quote]I too am having the issue with Theme Manager and the new Skin not being applied. It is not in WB and I cannot find it anywhere on my drive, nor for that matter can I find any of the skins (where are they?) You should release a working app, instead of having is hunt down files on our systems and copying/renaming them in order to work. Have you tried using a clean machine to do these installs/checking/replicating the issue, as you will have the files in the right places if you

[quote]And on a sidenote, why is the icon for email the same as the one for the controlpanel in the aero midnight iconset? Doesn't really make sense.[/quote] This is a known issue we are going to resolve.

[quote]Presently I'm unable to run both Deskscapes and IconX - is this a known limitation, or should I be able to run both simultaneously?[/quote] IconX has been discontinued for new customers so we did not test it against Deskscapes XP. Those products are not going to work well together.

We have not been able to reproduce the issue with Aero Midnight failing to apply. Can those exhibiting this problem please post how they updated applications? SDC or Impulse?

[quote]Is there anything else I can try? Thank you for the help![/quote] Deskscapes is probably not compatible with your Codec. Please check out the instructions (the list the Microsoft codec we are certified against) try using a codec manager to disable all codecs except the Microsoft MPEG decoder. That should resolve your issue. Do the dynamic dreams fail to apply as well? Desktop Earth? Those do not rely on a video codec.

[quote]Is BootSkin Pro going to be released for XP in the future? I have the alpha of the XP BootSkin so I'm good, just curious.[/quote] A qualified maybe. With the advent of SP2 for XP there is a supported, reliable way to update boot screens on Windows XP. We may merge the applications. (Bootskin for XP and Bootskin Pro).

[quote]This is not at all clear from within Impulse - despite the fact that I renewed via Impulse.[/quote] You don't have to do anything if you already have all of your applications up to date. Today we updated: Theme Manager Bootskin Pro WindowBlinds SoundPackager Deskscapes You should see updates available for those applications if you were already up to date.

[quote]When I try and start a dream on Dreamscapes 2.5, my PC thinks for a second and then does nothing. This happens with any dream I attempt to run. I just downloaded the latest 2.5 version today using Impulse.[/quote] Do you have a video codec installed? Do you have DirectX9 installed? You will need both to apply a dream.

[quote]I have the standard version of Object Desktop and my license expires June of 2009. Do I get OD 2009 or do I have to have the Ultimate or renew my subscription? The reason I am asking is that I got the latest version of Impulse, but my Object Desktop Apps aren't updating to the 2009 version.[/quote] You are entitled to 2009 updates.

[quote]Zargon did you see the screenies above that show tabs in the Impulse beta? With AGP card, when tried to launch a dream from Theme manager nothing happened. When tried to launch theme from desktop properties/deskscapes, I got an error messag about the AGP card and redirected to a page that explained the issue.[/quote] If you click Yes on the dialog that warns you about the AGP card, the dream should apply.

[quote]zargon, when attempting to apply aero midnight via theme manger, everything is applied except for the windowblinds skin. well, let me put it this way: the wallpaper and the icons changed. the windowblinds skin was not applied and the desktop gadgets failed to appear.[/quote] What happens if you go to the Applications tab, click on skins and apply Aero midnight through that mechanism. Do you have WindowBlinds installed or just MyColors?

[quote]Sure does have OD tab, Desktp Extras and My Colors tabs. Also when Theme manager installed a bit later a sys tray icon for SDC popped into my sys tray. Where did that come from? It shows in sreenshot.[/quote] The Object Desktop tab in that screen shot is a custom tab you created. What did you select to create it? It shows up when we create a "category" tab for Object Desktop. <img src="https://www.stardock.com/kirk/impulse.png" alt="Impulse Shot" width
