Try uploading it again. Make sure the new theme_info.cfg is there.

I tried that many times, even re-downloading the whole file. I'll try again after I'm done watching a movie 2 hours xD

Boring saturday night for me, I installed a test Icy just to make some test a give a better support

In the package you download from colorizeit, you should have an image folder, a .css file and a theme_info.cfg . You have to overwrite (or backup) the old theme_info.cfg. The new one should have a line with the name of the new style you created with colorizeit.

The theme_info.cfg is the file Icy uses to determine wheter styles are installed or not. If you don't see the styles available for installation in styles management there could be only two reasons: 1. styles are already installed 2. theme_info.cfg is not updated.

Can you please send me your theme_info.cfg and tell me the name you chose for the style when you downloaded it from colorizeit?

Sure can, I'm pretty sure it isn't already installed... Esp, because I colorized it so wouldn't it be different? Actually.... I don't think I can put on here as an attachment. =/

You need to install Blue Pearl from download section first.

Then you can just replace all files.

No luck still. I'm probally not uploading it right to my sever.

I've been searching a site on how to install skins and I haven't seen anything.

I think the mg_themes thing is messing me up. Can you tell me how the files should be, this is what I have now:

vtemplates
>vcommon
>vmg_themes
>vsubsilber

Should I add it like templates>pearl or should it be under templates>mg_themes>pearl (somewhere under mg_themes) I've tried both =/
