OK, I finally got HS to run and I must say NICE!!!! I love the wheel. But, I was wondering if there is a Theme pack??? that someone has put togather of all the working themes? I am Downloading them one at a time and it Sucks. plain and simple. The HS I downloaded has a few themes in it but only about 20?? or so.
Some of the artwork you guys / gals have created is fantastic. I really hope that this FE is here to stay, so far out of all of the ones I have tinkered with this is the best.
HyperSpin is definitely here to stay. BadBoyBill is continuously updating the program and adding new features. An easier way of acquiring themes will be coming in the future, but not for a while. More important features and functionality are ahead of inconvenience.
For themes, Bill added a way that you could have a full XML file created using the old version of HyperHQ or Dir2XML. To install themes you would simply need to turn themes_only to true in the Settings/systemname.xml files. This way all you need to do is simply download the theme and extract it to the correct Media folder for that system. Thus eliminating the need to update the Database .xml files manually.
I'm not sure what you downloaded, but first you will need to acquire the newest version of HyperSpin. 0.7.0.2 this version will go through and audit your settings files to make sure they are correct and contain all of the necessary fields. Once you have that then download the new version of HyperHQ. This can help with setting paths for your systems and stuff like that. This program is a work in progress so it is not completely functional at this time, but can help with some of the basics.
Themes really need to be downloaded one at a time right now... If you don't want the wait time between downloads then make a donation to the site as that is what keeps the site running smoothly.
