Hi,

I've downloaded some themes and wanted to try it out.
So when to Today > Highlight Theme > OK.
But after Ok, the theme doesn't load and still stuck at the default theme of WM 6
Also try a soft reset, but still the same.
Anyone facing this problem?
Can it be fixed?
Thanks in advance.

You can place the theme files, which is in TSK format in your Windows folder, or just in the Storage Card root directory, without placing it in any folders and try to change from your Settings again.

Hi lmf2501,

I've tried your way, but still does not change.
Is there any 3rd party apps which can change theme more easier?

Thanks.

I've tried every single method that can be found on this forum.
Put .tsk theme into \My Device\My Documents, \Windows folder and even root directory of Storage Card.
But still cannot be solved.
Is there any solutions/tweaks/3rd party apps to fix this?

Q. What are the valid folders to put the themes in so that they get detected under Today Settings?

"\Windows\" folder
"\My Documents\" folder or any subfolders beneath
If you have "ignore_my_docs" file in Storage Card folder (or Storage ROM), any folder in Storage Card will do. Subfolders are not detected, e.g. "\Storage Card\Misc\Themes\". [Only for PPC2002/WM2003/WM2003SE]
If you do not have "ignore_my_docs" file in Storage Card (or Storage ROM), you need to place themes under "My Documents" folder, e.g. "\Storage Card\My Documents\". Subfolders of My Documents in Storage ROM/Storage Card are not detected, e.g. "\Storage Card\My Documents\Themes\". [Only for PPC2002/WM2003/WM2003SE]
Under the main Storage Card folder.
Any subfolder under Storage Card (but not too deep), e.g. "\Storage Card\My Themes\" but not "\Storage Card\My Files\Themes\".

If you do not wish to be constrained by these folders, you can use a Theme Manager instead. Check out this post for the recommendations.

I've look through the FAQ.
Tried all the methods you've mentioned,
but still cannot.
