My Theme Manager 3 Requests

Published on November 9, 2008 By Island Dog In OS Customization

I am very impressed with the way Theme Manager 3 is turning out. It’s going to the central starting point for all my skins, as I can easily create my entire desktop through Theme Manager 3. There are a few things I would like to see added from a users point of view.

Vertical Scroll option. I don’t mind the horizontal scroll, but I would like to see the option for a vertical scroll as well. Scrolling through with my mouse is just much easier.

More application support. I like the current lineup as it covers most of the popular skinning utilities, but I’d like to see more added and maybe even the possibility to add/remove category tabs. Sort of like what you can do in Impulse. I’d really like to see ObjectDock Plus support, and DesktopX gadgets and Sidebar gadget support added as well.

Theme Browser? OK, this is a bit out there, but I would like to toss out the suggestion anyways. I would like to see Theme Manager have it’s own integrated skin browser, very much similar to what the WinCustomize Browser does without the additions of forums, news, etc. I would make this a “plus” edition available to WinCustomize subscribers, maybe even replacing the current WC browser since this will no doubt be much more usable.

I tried it and here's some issues I noticed.

1: Very slow to apply themes

2: Will not apply gadgets

3: Some icons in my system tray disappear after applying a theme. Example: windows messenger icon, and Nod32 icon.

I wish it would give the option to save a cursor also, when you click Save My Desktop.

When applying a WindowBlind, Being able to detect a newer version of a WindowBlind skin already installed on your system so the older one doesnt bork the newer one.

Yes, these need to be supported for TM to be more complete as an overall skin management platform.

I wish it would give the option to save a cursor also, when you click Save My Desktop.

Also a must to include CursorFX support.

Theme Browser

Yup, that too would be a nice addition.
