to load the theme export the ALX/COD file and then in Desktop Manager select Application Loader and select the ALX file and it will install the theme on your phone.

Anyone know how to get the Zen theme to display and have the Today theme fade in as a display (similar to the Today+), when I do it all I get is both the ZEN and TODAY theme on the homescreen at the same time.

The same thing happens to me.... Can't get very far downloading it, then it says it's done, go to run the .exe, but tells me to extract it elsewhere, which will get me no where.... :( Bummer, i was looking forward to playing around with this....

Isaac

i finally was able to download it!!! hey snowboarder61. just keep trying to download it and eventually you will get it. the reason its not downloading completely is due to high traffic of peeps trying to download it. good luck!
