wow, thanks. the ALX/COD method worked like a charm for me, and was able to get all the themes installed. funny thing is though, after cycling through all the different themes, i still like the default list one it came with best
i think it's because i like to use a funky backround image, and most of the other themes either clash with the images or are hard to see over the backround image. oh well, at least i have some different ones to change to if i get bored with the default one. thanks again.
