I have tried searching for these, but nothing obvious seems to come up. Could someone please provide some links? I cannot get this theme to install, either. Here is what I have tried:
FYI, I am fairly new to Reaper and I am running Reaper v4.261, 64 bit on a Windows 7 64 bit machine. I have 2 1920x1080 monitors.
I downloaded the file from White Tie's site and extracted the files. I see 2 files, one looks like a t-shirt with a Reaper logo on it and the file name is WT_Imperial and the other is a file folder filled with all the graphics called WT_Imperial.
As mentioned in other posts, I double-clicked on the WT_Imperial t-shirt looking file and it launched Reaper, but what is showing up does not look anything like the screen shots of Imperial. It looks very similar to the Classic_4.x theme. I still went ahead and followed his instructions about changing the items in Options/Preferences/Appearances menu.
I then tried to drag and drop the theme file into an open window in Reaper. Still nothing changed.
Then someone mentioned dragging and dropping the t-shirt looking file (which I know is the theme file) in the ColorThemes folder in Reaper which I did. Still looks like the Classic_4.x theme.
When I go under Options/Themes, the only 4 theme options are Default, Default_3.0, Classic_4.x & Classic_3.x. Nothing with the name WT_Imperial shows up even thought it is in the ColorThemes folder.
I even tried deleting the WT_Imperial theme file, making sure the WT_Imperial theme file wasn't anywhere in the REAPER folder in the Program Files folder, and going to Options/Preferences/Theme Editor and loading the theme from there. Still the ol' Classic_4.x looking theme.
I am at a loss. Since I am new to Reaper, I am REALLY hoping there is something obvious I have missed... This just doesn't make sense.
One last note: I can't see how this matters since the files showed up, but the extraction/unzip program used was jZip.
Someone please help me figure out how to get this amazing theme loaded and working!
Thanks in advance for your help,
Jason
