O.P. Need help installing new theme
Hi guys,
I need some help installing a theme that was released a few days ago called Luna Element which can be found here ...

I followed thestructions exactly where and how to extract the files to, but when I go to choose it through the 'themes' contol panel the preview image is just a black box with some horizontal blue lines through it.
I dl'd the file a couple of times so either it's corrupted in the forum, or I'm not installing it properly!
Please help me out if I'm doing something wrong. I have installed several other themes without a problem, but perhaps yours nees something special.

Thank you

Install either StyleXP or the Neowin Uxtheme Patcher

Both avaible on the one and only Google :D

(I suggest the UXtheme patch.)

Well did u install the theme properly ?? it used to happen to me when i
had those theme files but i unistalled stylexp. if i applied the theme
via window's theme changer (rt click on desktop - properties one) then
it would turn to win classic. Try doing it with style xp.

if ur using that neowin patcher .... err. i dunno cause i havent used it yet :)
