Hello,
thanks for this great plugin. The installed themes are wonderfull and working out of the box :)
But for a newbie the help for installing other themes could be a bit more detailed..
I tried to install the “WROCK IT” them.
Download desired theme from Sandbox Designs Competition.
=> Download, no problem.
Place the theme folder in $MT_HOME/plugins/Sandbox/themes/ .
=> Ok, where? After the sandbox installation, i have a folder ../mt/mt-static/plugins/Sandbox/themes and
../mt/plugins/Sandbox/ but no subfolder themes..
So i put it in the folder ../mt/mt-static/plugins/Sandbox/themes
Open the Styles index template.
=> ?? What is the Styles index template, and where did i find it?
Replace the content with a link to the stylesheet of the newly added theme in the styles.css index template. Replace “THEME-NAME” with the name of the theme.
@import url(plugins/Sandbox/themes/THEME-NAME/style.css);
=> I didn’t try this step, because i could not find step 4..
Thought I’d point out that though there’s a 1.1 version available, there’s no obvious link to it from the site here. I honestly don’t recall how I stumbled onto it, but the ‘download’ link on the ‘Install’ page points to the version 1.0 zip file. Folks ought to know there’s a newer version available.
Thanks. I’ve updated the download link and added a “blog” link to the navigation which takes you to the homepage where the most recent entry is about v1.1.

Thanks for your time, Eismaus
Eesamus,
You were really close! …but the instructions for Installing Themes Manually could be a little clearer.
I’ve updated instructions for steps 2, 3, and 4 to be more detailed.
Does that help?
Thank you for the update. Now, everything is clear and i got the templates to run without problem!
This plugin has been really easy to install and usually I don’t know what I’m doing. Thanks.
I am running it on a few web sites now with no problem. Awesome work. Thank you.

Looking forward to playing with it.
