Themes not matching screenshots?

[Mind Riot]

I downloaded the theme pack on the main Reaper page, as well as a bunch of individual themes from the Resources page. I put them all in folders in Reapers program files, and they show up fine when I try to load a theme.

But when I do load a theme, all it changes is the color scheme. It doesn't seem to load any of the different icons that people use in their themes. All the themes load various color setups but they all load default buttons and icons (albeit in the different colors). I've set things in preferences all different ways to allow themes to override and all that jazz.

Is there something basic I'm missing here?

Not a big deal either way, I like the default setup, but it would be nice to try out some of these awesome themes people have made up.

Go to Options>Preferences>Appereance>Colortheme
Check the last of the five boxes "Theme request UI images".

Edit: Also check the "Allow colorthemes to override" in the Appereance tab.

Thanks for the link, it indirectly led me to the problem.

I was trying to be more organized, so I put themes into sub folders ("Alternate Themes", etc.). But then Reaper couldn't read into the sub folders to find the icons. Also, some of the themes came with parent folders so I had to paste the theme files and icon folders into the main Color Themes folder and delete the parent folders to get Reaper to find everything.

Got it all worked out now, trying out some very pretty themes from all the talented users around here.

Thanks for the help!
