What s in the .zip file?  You should extract the contents of it, as the .desktop or .object file may be inside the zip.

I unzipped. It had Desktop X and I opened it and its just a picture. There is no object file.

that's could help if you link the theme here or simply name it...

I'm trying to install vistabug1280

i don't understand vistabug 1280 is not a .zip it's a .desktop file.
That means it's load directly with DesktopX have you desktopX by stardock?
If yes try to configure dx to load directly .dxtheme and .desktop files.
If not you should download desktopx by stardock to use this theme DesktopX by stardock

it shouldn't be a .zip

change the extension to .desktop and then double click it

Bichur try to download vistabug it's a .desktop file not a .zip

for you and me Q94

but read the first line again:

and for him apparently

really i can't understand maybe a little addition to his question could help us not? (cause buzz put on WC the theme directly without .zip)

I believe its a zip file, at least thats what it says when I download. Anyway, thanks. I decided to change to Mozilla Firefox and its loading now. Thanks anyway. I prefer Opera, but I guess Firefox is the only one that automatically loads into Desktop X. Thanks

i think it's in your browser options. but anyway, firefox it's good!
IE7 also. and on WC it appear that opera users have got problems why? don't know but you can also use WC browser it's easier.
