Theme success!

[moon_watcher99]

After a great deal of trial and error, I now have what I would consider a freaking sweet setup on my desktop.  For anyone who might be interested (and runs Windows 7; don't know how well things work on 8) I have managed to get all the steps and links organized and compiled.  For the record, I make no claim to having done anything more than

I really like this, but I'm curious if it will be compatible with WindowBlinds and/or Fences? If so, I'm definitely downloading and installing. If not, maybe I'll just use your sound theme idk. I love the screensaver you found too!

To be honest, I'm not sure. Do those run on 7 or 8? Are they third party modifiers? A quick google check will probably tell. What are they used for? If you decide to play it safe, I could probably just upload the windows sound theme. Shouldn't be too hard to find. Just let me know if you want it that way. So the screensaver worked okay for you as well? Glad to hear!

Well, actually, I just did some checking. (Yes, I am a fully functioning geek 24/7.) I found references to several people running both rainmeter and either blinds or fences, although not all three at once. I would say, it's not likely to break your entire computer. At worst, you might notice a few anomalies and decide to turn off one or the other. But, as I said, if you're ultra cautious, I can just upload the sound file. :D

Thanks for checking all of that out! I'll probably go ahead and try to install the theme because it's ME y'know? I'll let you know how it goes (and will be using your sound pack).

And yes I love the screensaver! I've purposely let it come on just to see the relay, lol. It's the little things that make me happy!

I know exactly what you mean. Working with computers is my thing, you know? And I'm thrilled to have so many downloads of my efforts. If things don't go well, do let me know. I uploaded a file with just the sounds plus a listing of where I put them for a Mac user; I can give you the link easily. Oddly enough, Windows will let you save a full theme, but it won't save just a sound profile, isn't that odd? Still, at least it's easy to set! :D

Well, despite following the directions on that site multiple times, nothing worked right. I was able to install the sounds and a few of the icons from your theme pack but no extra wallpapers. I have a huge headache right now so I can't be bothered to fiddle with it any longer (nothing against you btw, just me and my ineptitude). IDK...my brain is too fried. I just had to go back and change IDK from DIK and fried from friend.

But THANK YOU for even bringing this theme to my (our collective) attention! I may try again at a later time when I'm not irritated and my head doesn't hurt. Trying to change the weather location, something seemingly simple, stumped me. Also, Harbinger comin' on all, "Direct intervention is necessary" when you least expect it is scary lol!

I am so sorry that there was trouble! Okay, the weather thing gave me problems, too. I was afraid that would stump people. I can explain that one, it involves the settings tab in the ME style UI. The extra wall papers should be available under the windows themes page. If they're not, than I did something wrong, my bad. I had it set so that only one wallpaper was set, but you could find three or four others by going to control panel, change the theme, and then clicking on the background. I'm so sorry if it didn't work! My email address is listed above in comments; if you want to email me a list of what went fubar I might be able to help.
