If I don want to use SysMetrixs integrated theme installer, how is it that I install a theme I downloaded?
You have to manually unzip the theme’s .zip file into the SysMetrix themes directory. As an example, let’s say that you installed the program in “c:\Program Files\SysMetrix”, and have just downloaded the “Transilvania” theme. In that case, you’d unzip the .zip file such that the files end up residing the “c:\Program Files\SysMetrix\Themes\Transilvania” directory. One thing to note is that when creating the .zip file archive, you’re given the option of just including the files or including the files *and* the directory that they belong in. The second method is preferred, as it’s easier to unzip the files into the “c:\Program Files\SysMetrix\Themes” all of the time instead of manually creating the theme directory and unzipping the files into it. While this isn’t as nice as an integrated theme installer, it shouldn’t be difficult for the type of person who is interested enough in their system’s metrics to run the program.
