Yeah, I know.  I saw that months ago.  I begged NCL, NOA, and NOE to give me a copy, but they all refused.    I didn't know any European GameCube owners who might give it to me though.....  although maybe one of you might be so kind?  I can't see how it's illegal, as I DO own a GameCube.

I actually managed to get a copy of the GameCube theme a while ago.  I hosted it for a few months, and I did post the link in another thread around here, but I recently removed it, because it was consuming my web space.  But I can probably host it again if anyone still needs it.

But hey, if anyone has any of the extra themes, I would love to have them.

Where is the Pikmin, Mario, and Metroid windowblinds? They are not on those links you noted. BTW I'm currently using the Zelda windowblind and it look great.

Has anyone tried emailing him yet?  I would, except I don't really like using email... whenever I go in there, I have to navigate through 3 or 4 screens to compose an email, and I have to type in the address I want to send to, and all that stuff.  It makes me sort of queasy.  And there's all that spam I have to delete whenever I go in there... and I am always worried that I am going to get another email from my crazy sister... uggg....

I would be happy to host the Eternal Darkness, Metroid, and GameBoy Advance if anyone has them.  I really am looking for the Eternal Darkness one so if anyone has it I would be very grateful!

Here is what I DO have:

Zelda Wind Waker
Super Mario Sunshine
GameCube
StarFox
Nintendo Theme Manager

If anyone could help me out I would love to trade and/or obtain the others and make them available for a while on my server.

Thanks!

Another question:

Are you guys all using Nintendo Theme Manager to load the themes?

Or are any of you using WindowBlinds?  I am trying to use WindowBlinds and it doesn't seem to work as it should...If someone else is using WindowBlinds what is the proper way to import the theme?  I have tried just remaning the file to a .wba extension, but this doesn't import all the sounds and features...

Thanks!

You really have to fudge it to get them to load in regular window blinds... because the nintendo them uses that funky dxthem file er something like that.... and the nintendo theme manager sucks cause its hard to make it load on startup...

Here is what I did, load the Nintendo theme manager and then load the theme.  It will then create the larger folder of all the different files within the them in the Nintendo theme manager directory somewhere on your drive.  Find that folder, then copy that within your objectdesktop/windowblinds themes folder.  The theme will then be selectable within windowblinds.  So repeat the process for each theme and then uninstall the nintendo theme manager.  That is what i did.  If anyone knows of a better way, throw it up here.

I too am still looking for the ED and GBA themes.

Palezero,

Thanks for the help.  Did you have WindowBlinds loaded prior to loading the Nintendo Desktop Manager?  I did and it appeared to hose up my WindowBlinds.  Haven't uninstalled it yet though so maybe that's all I need to do.  With it installed the WindowBlinds themes are no longer visible in Desktop Properties and trying to "Add" them doesn't work.  

Haven't heard back from anyone yet on the extra themes, but I am willing to host them so please let me know!!!

I to would love the gba one.  As for whats installed first...I'm not sure how i did it...:-/  If you really want to make sure nothing steals anything from the other, I would install the nintendo one with the regular one uninstalled, save the files you need, then uninstall the nintendo one, reinstall the regular one, and then transfer files...that my work better.

On a side note, i have had them disappear from the list in desktop properties a couple times.  I have no idea why this happens, but a simple solution I found it to take all the them folders out of the windowblinds directory, restart windowblinds (now nothing will be available in the desktop properties screen) then re copy the files and restart windowblinds again.  That seems to work for me.  Like i said, its very buggy and weird how it works, but I have mine working and I only had to do the re-copy think like twice so far.

Anyone else having the problem where once you restart your computer, some of the effects of the theme are gone, like the pointer and menu bar? This happens every time, and it's annoying because then I have to re-install the theme.

OK guys, I have hosted them on my server temporarily.  We'll see how the bandwidth goes...

Also, *please* help me find Eternal Darkness.  I know some of the guys in this thread said they have it.  If anyone knows how to get ahold of these guys please do.  I would be happy to host the file.  This is one I really want to find.

Also, if you live in Europe and haven't registered a Nintendo product you can download Eternal Darkness theme just by registering, so if you happen to do that I think everyone here would really dig it!

EDIT:  I try to exract the theme manager from winrar, and I get an error message:

Any ideas anyone?

Hmm, that was weird, I did it before, and it crashed winamp.  Did it this time and it worked fine.  Sweet skin.

You basically pack a bunch of bitmap files into a zip file, and rename it to wzs or something like that.  (sorry, had a bottle of champagne tonight).  I designed a winamp skin once in a Xenogears theme.  It actually looked quite nice, but I never did completely finish it, and I accidently erased my most recent version of it.  It was awesome though.  It was a picture of Miang with a blue neon glow...

man, you guys must REALLY like those skins... especially 67.75.224.152, who seems to have downloaded each one a good 5 times.  hrmmm...

EDIT:  Sorry folks.  GCN Skins taken down because it seems that someone around here just doesn't like me.  I ask to take it easy on my bandwidth, and I don't appreciate people downloading the same file repeatedly.

Spurred on by grey's comment that the winamp skins are just renamed zip files, i went ahead and opened up the sdtheme file for the eternal darkness theme with winRAR, and bam, sure enough, there is all the files you need for a normal windowblinds installation...so all that tricky stuff I talked about before you don't need.  Just use win rar, then put the files in the proper spots.  Kind of handy.

My apologies... I just checked the server log again to confirm a sneaking suspicion of mine.  Whoever was downloading all the skins must have been using a download manager or something, as I just realized that the http codes were 206s instead of 200s...  my apologies.

GCN Skins are back up.  But please try to go easy on the bandwidth, k?  I promised my roommate that the cable bill wouldn't be insane.

No, we have to pay extra if we use an insane amount of bandwidth.  I think the guidelines are like 1GB up, and 6GB down a month, for the plan I am on.  I frequently use about 2GB up, and 10GB down per month on MY computer alone.  That's not even counting my roommate's computer.

well, I use bittorrent quite a bit.  I generally pick up no less than 3 anime episodes a week, which uses a fair bit of bandwidth on both upload and download.  There will be the odd ISO I pick up, such as a Linux ISO, or the ISO for the Relics of the Chozo music CD.  This month I actually used the OC Remix torrent files to finish up my collection of OC Remixes, which used well over 2GB down, and almost 1GB up.

I need a new hard drive though.

I just downloaded all the themes from you guys, been lookin everywhere from em! Thanks!

But, if you don't want to use the Nintendo Theme Manager... EVER, follow these simple instructions.

1) Download all the files
2) Open them with your preferred extractor.
3) Drag the files or extract them to your WinStyles Themes folder.

IMPORTANT: ONLY DRAG THE game.sdtheme (ex. starfox.sdtheme) FILES DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE 1280 or 800 FILES (ex. Starfox800.sdtheme), IT WILL STILL WORK FINE!

4) Rename the extension from sdtheme to XPtheme
5) Click yes to the box.
6) Double Click the file and click yes to the next box to apply the skin and all other parts!

The reason why I wrote this is after I installed the NTM, it totally screwed up my Stardock apps, and I had to reinstall all of them.

Hope this helps... and if you want I can host these files on MY server, 30GB of BW a month
