The "General Settings" sub-tab, under the "Settings" menu tab has options that affect how Theme Manager works.  On Microsoft Vista, both options are visible, however on Windows XP only the first option is available.

 

General Settings Quick Reference

Option	What it does...
I want to see advanced options when applying suites.	Checked, this will display a dialog box listing the elements in the theme/suite you are applying to your computer.  This allows you to check (select) / uncheck (deselect) which elements are applied.  Unchecked, (default) you will not see the dialog box and the theme/suite will be applied as normal.
I want to use Aero window frames but keep the rest of the skin.	(Windows Vista feature only.) Checked, transparent Aero window frames will be used on all window frames, overriding any applied skin/theme. Unchecked, (default) no transparent Aero frames, the skin/theme (suite) will apply whatever skin it has for frames.

After selecting "Apply Theme on the Theme - Suites tab for a suite, this Advanced Options dialog box was displayed.

Check/uncheck boxes, then click to apply the theme/suite to the desktop.  (Click or to abort.)
