Reflex archive contains the following:
Reflex_rainy [file folder] ----> button-left.png ----> button-right.png ----> days.png ----> hoog0555_cyr2.ttf ----> mini.ttf ----> Reflex.ini ----> Reflex_rainy.png ----> ReflexMessageEventToDo.rainy.png ----> today.png ----> weekends.png mini.ttf Reflec.iebarzip Reflex.jpg Reflex.msstyles Reflex.wsz Reflex_Full.theme Reflex_Norm.theme SHELLSTYLE.DLL
I suppose this is exactly what drives sales of third-party front-end applications. Well, this, and the nightmare of replacing Windows' UXTHEME.DLL.
I don't mean to pick on this theme or this author, because everyone does the same thing. That is, no one bothers to mention just where all these files go, or if a manual installation requires every file. Sure, I know to install the typefaces, but would everyone? And what about the wallpapers? DLLs? WSZs? Anyone who takes a look in C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes would wonder why so many files are needed for any theme, and if unceremoniously dumping an entire archive into the Themes folder is really the way to go.
I've tried a few theme archives, and have invariably ended up with themes minus the cool wallpapers seen in the screenshots.
If someone, anyone, would take the time to write down where all of these various files go, which are required for third-party front ends and which are not, it would go a long way toward promoting the use of these themes.
