Bowtie Annoyance

SbuxBlaze · Subject: Bowtie Annoyance February 18th 2009, 3:25 am

I can't seem to install a theme into Bowtie on 10.5.6
I've tried double clicking, dragging into the right directories, but still, the themes list is empty. What am I doing wrong? confused

I've tried everything, restarting the app, even restarting the system and nothing

What about using Appzapper then redownload it?

i'm certainly no computer whiz but the only way i know how to do it is to double click on the theme. i don't think there's a directory per se, of themes that you can just add one into. anyone got a clue?

kill the app, for reals tho no stupid silly "force quit"

terminal:
$ killall bowtie.app

then restart the computer
then reinstall bowtie.app using appzapper to kill it off your system. then double click the theme.

Weird. It's always double-click for me, and then a Growl notification saying it has been installed. I've got Laurent on AIM, next time he's online I'll ask him about your problem.

Lol unlucky :\ .. i'm not being lucky with macos myself.... lol
sound usually works but now and then it tends to stop... lol don't know what's going over there.. and itunes is giving me kernel panics everytime i try to switch musics very fast, example : i am listening 1 song, then i change to the next, and do this quicly like 5/6 times and BANG kernel panic refering to the itunes module :|

Sbux i'm having the same problem :/ its annoying because if i add a new theme it doesn't install but it lets me modify existing themes and then double click them and..it adds them but replaces the old ones.

and im on 10.5.6 too

That's a strange problem. I rarely use bowtie but i can't suggest anything that hasn't been said already. Weird.

I have Safari 4 on my Mac and Bowtie seems to work fine, some themes don't look correct though. I'd recommend completely deleting the application using AppZapper, and reisntalling it.
