Step 1.Extract this file to your pc then copy the extracted files and an paste them to your windows folder in your shadow.

You can get to the windows folder in Vista. You have to select the / then go to organize on the toolbar (left top corner) and select folder and search layouts. In the View tab, you need to de-select hide protected operating files once this is done the windows folder becomes an option for you to work with, I hope it works for you I had no problems and I’m running 32-bit Vista Home edition.

First, great theme! I can’t wait to use it.
That said, I’m having trouble installing it. I’ve followed the directions to the letter but something is not right. When I installed the cabs and rebooted, nothing changed except for each individual icon for each pane (FR 6.1 black theme/Default green 6.1 theme). What am I doing wrong???
Thanks in advance

Ok, nevermind. I did some searching and found my problem.
Is there anyway to adapt this theme for MYHTC’s 6.1 rom? Or could you tell me how to do it? I REALLY want this theme…

Note:U gotta have Erofich’s Rom for this theme to work.
Install it over shadow mike’s Hurrah theme to have the icon bar.
P.S thanks for all the FeedBack

I downloaded and installed both cabs and copied the extracted files to my windows folder, except for the ones that couldn’t be copied lol, I restarted my shadow but nothing has changed at all, I don’t get it but nice theme anyway

Running 6.1 by erofich. great theme but:
“Appointments” and “missed calls” in reverse order on left-hand side.
Background on above example not included.
No biggie, I’m going to see what happens when I adjust the “CHome”… files to change their order in photoshop.
